Family Guy, Stew-Roids.

In this episode you see the explotations of personalitites.
Stewie gets beaten up buy a girl so he begins to go the the gym, where peter starts injecting stewie with steroids.
Stewie soon learns the up and downs of using the drug.
Meanwhile the popular girl decides to ask Chris out because she is sick of jock boys, she soon learns what it is like to walk in Meg's shoes and suffer rejection.


In the first scene you see Peter commentating on the cooking meat, poking fun at his weight and making it sound sexual which is what makes it funny, 'sex' jokes make up alot family guy.
There's also black 'awkward' jokes made about deaths in iraq with peter showing no empathy towards the death of Joe's son. Stewie's sexuality also gets questions as he plays with the barbie dolls then gets beaten up by the little girl. It also shows parody where the show 'Family Ties' gets brought up with an awkward subject of 'periods'. Stewie insults 'Johnson&Johnson' calling them liars and making them look evil. Peter emphasizes how disappointed by Stewie's 'Girlyness'. There's also the stereotypical 'popular girls' where she is vain and selfish, she wishes to date a loser and make them cool. Fart jokes and sexists jokes are all included. Megan being excluded from her family and fluttering over the popular girl empashizes how pathetic she is which does make you laugh. Peter makes the remark "If there's anyone i can trust, its a stranger in a gym holding a dirty needle" and sticks a needle that is labelled steriods into stewies arm. It is funny because you laugh at Peter's stupidy and Stewie's misfortune.  Soon you see Stewie quickly turn into a stereotypical image of a steroid user, It looks disgusting. Peter tells Louise after she screams at Peter for his actions "Yeah, i believe what people tell me, anywhere." After that Louise knocks Peter out. Stewies new look has made him turn into a different person who is aggressive and obnoxious... More than usual.
Its elements that represent the awkward moments in life that make the show particularly funny.

I don't think there is anything not funny about the show,
they may take some jokes to far, but it would take someone who was quite uptight to find it offensive.
Alot of the jokes made you can relate to, like 'wow I was thinking the same thing', which is what most people find favourable to the show.
The comedy types in the show include Black Humor/Dark Comedy, Slapstick Comedy and Wisecrack comedy.
