How to Get Your Wife or Girlfriend to Watch Family Guy

Family Guy is a cartoon loved by millions, but the core audience consists mainly of males. That is not to say that women do not enjoy the hysterical antics of the Griffin family or the many pop-culture references. It is simply my experience that many women simply view Family Guy as just another stupid cartoon without having actually seen it, thus relegating it to a growing pile of immature, childish entertainment, along with video games and comic books.

But the truth is, Family Guy is a great cartoon to enjoy with your wife or girlfriend, if only you could get them to watch and appreciate the humor as you do. The key to such a feat is episode screening. Simply put, if you can manage to get your wife or girlfriend to watch a particular episode of Family Guy that you know they will enjoy, they the stylish cartoon will have gained a new fan, and you will no longer need to watch your Family Guy episodes alone in your bedroom while your wife chides you for laughing at stupid cartoons.

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend a particular episode to have your partner watch, as the diverse humor of Family Guy can appeal to many different aspects. But there are certain episodes you might want to avoid, particularly those which have a large amount of jokes that either degrade Lois (Peter Griffin's wife) or other women. These episodes are sure to cause your wife or girlfriend to frown upon Family Guy, especially if she catches you laughing a bit too hard.

A good episode of Family Guy should appeal to your wife's humor without offending any of her beliefs, morals, or nature. This may be hard to accomplish, as the humor in one episode of Family Guy can range from mild pop-culture references to more objectionable jokes involving racism, religion, and potty humor.

However, the potty humor inherent in many episodes of Family Guy may also be a great starting point, as some women are in fact advocates for potty humor, despite the juvenile inclinations. If this is your wife or girlfriend, then you already have a fine selection of episodes to choose from.
