None of those look like they're flat out stolen..."Family Guy" just comes with so much random shit that it's hard to keep the material fresh. All those were generic jokes.

with the exception of the gambling wives, I agree. But the gambling wives bit was as bad as Jigga bitting BIG IMO

I never knew how frustrating it is to follow the Simpsons. At least the South Park people TRY to be creative. They even ditch their plots if the Simpsons Already Did It... lol. Still, wasn't the Simpson's influenced from the Flinstones, who were The Simpsons of their day, with the guest and everything? Then the Flinstones were influenced by the Honeymooners. Or am I reaching, since their humor is different. I mean it evolved from 2 childless families to the Simpsons having a classic American family.

Sorry dude, but I don't see how that bit is stolen. Way too generic and not near being exactly the same...If that's the case, you can say "Simpsons" stole that bit from Chevy Chase in "Vegas Vacation".

I still fuck with Family Guy, even though I don't think it's as funny as it used to be.

Surely when family guy writers planned them out theymust have realized "wait, havent i heard/seen this before" Straight copying IMO.
