Family Guy Talk

When thinking about leaving the show, Alex Borstein of Family Guy has a pretty simple test for the show to pass or fail: If it continues to be fresh and funny, and the writers can continually deliver, she'll stay on to voice Lois Griffin. If she's not "laughing out loud," though, watch out--she might take her leave!

Borstein is a hilarious actor but did you know that she also works as a staff writer and producer on the show? It's really no wonder why. Anyone who has seen Borstein in action, such as her character on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, already knows how talented and funny she is. Lois has always been my favorite character on the show, and as soon as I saw Borstein in an action role I knew why. She's just got that comedic spark that I love.

What do you think of Borstein's litmus test of whether or not to continue with the show? Do you have your own test for whether or not to stick with the show? Share it in the chat!

When you get roasted by a show like South Park, SNL or Family Guy, the most graceful thing you can do is laugh along like you normally would at a roast. Folks who protested their mockery have only been met with more mockery in kind, so it makes sense that most people simply laugh along and don't take it personally.

Al Roker was recently one of these people. He celebrated, saying, "Yes! We made Family Guy!" when Peter and the gang recently poked fun at the Today Show. Peter said, "I saw it on the Today Show," while arguing with Lois. Lois's hilarious response? "Second hour with Hoda and Savannah, or third hour with the nonsense people?" The quick quip gave show runners a good laugh.

Family Guy merch is widely available online, but it's not often seen in all of the brick and mortar stores. Not so at 5 Below! My family and I have frequently seen Family Guy Merch at the store alongside other fun pop culture gifts and it's usually a great place to find Family Guy-themed goodies for everyone who likes them.

In the past, we've seen everything from pens to keychains, magnets to posters and t-shirts at the shop. It's been a while since we've gone inside the store but right now 5 Below has this adorable Stewie ornament that would be great on a tree as well as anywhere else in your home. I like to put my minifigs like this in planters with my plants! 

What other cool Family Guy items have you seen at 5 Below in the past? What have you seen available at other unexpected stores? Share your finds in the chat. 

Analyzing our favorite characters and finding out everything from what zodiac sign they'd be (sure, Stewie's likely a Scorpio, but I bet he's a Capricorn rising!) to their favorite color is fun pastime for many people. We love to think about what the worst and best things they've ever done are only to be shocked when they do something even more outrageous in the future.

Recently there was a breakdown of the worst things that Brian has ever done and there have been some doozies! Brian is a terrible father who's landed people in jail, lusted after underage characters, let people die and more. He's also always lusting after Lois, which is pretty rotten considering he's supposed to be Peter's BFF. 

What do you think the worst thing Brian has ever done is? Take it a step further and tell us what you think the worst thing each character in Family Guy has ever done in the chat!
