how to write an episode of family guy in 30 seconds or less...

how many times have you been watching family guy and thought to yourself, "i love this show so much. hey, you know, i should write an episode!" but then you found yourself dismayed by your lack of professional writing skillz...




...well, fret no longer! because i've discovered a formula for writing family guy episodes that works with mathematical precision. here it is:

"this is so ______, it reminds me of that time _____."

that's it. just fill in the blanks with any random thing you can think of. do about 5 of these and you've got yourself an episode of family guy! go ahead, try it. here's some examples:

"this is so embarassing, it reminds me of that time i showed up at that sesame street casting call dressed as adolf hitler.

"this is so confusing it reminds me of that time the discovery channel aired platypus sex and the city."

"this is so david beckham it reminds me of that time i can of creamed corn."

okay, okay, maybe some random phrases work better than others, but you get the idea. so give it a try. you'll be glad you did!

LOL!!! I love Family Guy, I have only recently got into it though, but it's fucking genious...maybe not as genious as Simpsons, but good none the less :D

i like it. it got kind of redundant after awhile, but peter's stupidity makes it worth watching :)

and yes, it will never top the simpsons.

Those fill-in-the-blank sentences are genius xD

I'm not a big fan of Family Guy. I'm more into South Park and The Simpsons, but you're right about the fill in the blank formula. Theres a South Park episode where Cartman wants to get Family Guy off the air and he discovers how they write the episodes and its almost the same thing that you did. Except its manatees picking balls with words on them out of a tank and forming sentences and that becomes the episode. Its my favorite episode of South Park.
Watch it. Cartoon Wars Part 2
