The Family Guy Aproximation

Well not so much a paradox but more an intuitive way of gauging how old you are.

I remember when Family Guy first was released. It was one of those things that only a few of us had heard of as it was only in America at the time. I remember being in my late teens and it being amazingly funny. Me and mates will sit there enjoying it for hour after hour whether it was at school on a laptop or sat round a mates having a house party that just ended up with everyone drunk watching family guy.

Now that im in my almost mid twenties I realise I hate family guy. I no longer find it funny and find myself getting angry anytime I do watch it because I am wise to the many many flaws of this show.

So I wondered why I would hate something so much, even though I used to love it. And the answer is pretty straightforward.

When you're young and not quite as mature, the toilet humour and slapstick style comedy are the best. But as you get older you realise it for what it is and become bored of it. You crave something with more substance and to an extent you crave humour to have intelligence.

Im not saying you get smarter as you get older, but you certainly get wise enough to realise Family Guy is actually shit. So the more shit you think family guy is, the older and maturer you are
