The Breakfast Club was a movie about five very different characters, Claire, Andrew, Brian, Allison, and John Bender. Claire was a popular girl, Andrew was a wrestler (jock), Brian was intellectually gifted, Allison was a basket case, and John Bender was a rebel. On the outside they seem like very different people, in fact they were all socially opposite, but they also shared so much.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and when it comes to the television series, Family Guy, everyone does. A person either loves the series or absolutely hates it. Antonia Peacocke voiced her opinion on the hit series in her article, Family Guy and Freud: Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious. At first she was just another addition to the other Family Guy haters, but she eventually came around and saw the humor after the hard to swallow punch lines. “Family Guy does not aim to hurt… creators take certain measures to keep it from hitting too hard.” Peacock says (307). What the creators are reenacting in the shows are not exactly, socially

Family Guy, an animated sitcom about a New England family and their everyday dilemmas, is a way for viewers to see the comedic side of a dysfunctional family. The Griffins consist of Peter and Lois, the patriarch and matriarch, and Meg, Chris, and Stewie are the children(Family Guy). Every character is different from the next character.

Each character in the show also displays those criticisms in a certain fashion. Family Guy can be offensive to viewers with its satire, and the way the show delivers its message can make the family and the other characters in the show seem dysfunctional.

Yesterday the music world lost one of the great singer songwriters. With the loss of Guy Clark, Country music lost of one of its moorings to true originality and authenticity. While I certainly can’t claim to be an authority on Guy Clarks works, I’ve heard his songs enough to appreciate the depth and poetry of his lyrics. I had the good fortune to be contracted to write for one of EMI publishing’s joint ventures in the early nineties. And If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Clark was a writer at EMI publishing during this time as well. One of the factors that added to the excitement of writing on music row in those days was the possibility of meeting or even catching a glimpse of a songwriting giant like him. And no; sadly, I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting Guy Clark. I did however pour my cup of coffee from the same pot as he in the EMI writer’s lounge one cold winter morning! That may not sound like much to you, but when you’re a young struggling writer, you hang on any chance to draw similarities; however diluted, between yourself and a legend like Guy (I can call him that because after all… we did share a coffee pot).

The reason for this is because family is an experience that virtually all viewers can reflect on and get ideas about family life. The definition of a family was depicted as a social unit characterized by one or more of the following elements: dependent children that had an adult who was the head of the household, dependent children with married couples, adult children with married couples, and dependent children with adults that shared their housing with others. Furthermore, this definition of family had not been limited to a legal marital arrangement, nor was the dependent children status limited to natural or adopted circumstances. Thus, adults who performed parental duties as the head of a household were coded as a representation of family, regardless of their legal status (Robinson & Skill, 1994).

What is a stereotype? The Free Dictionary defines a stereotype as “a simplified and standardized conception or image invested with special meaning and held in common by members of a group” (Stereotype). Although many people may not realize it, stereotypes influence how they interact with others each day. People judge others because of their race, ethnicity, religion, and heritage before they even know the person. These judgements come from stereotypes they encounter in their lives. There are plenty of news stories, movies, and television shows that portray these stereotypes. However, Seth McFarland’s television show “Family Guy” uses satire to highlight stereotypes in today’s society. The show’s use of ethnic humor includes a lot of
