    I was watching Family Guy, the episode where Peter invents a cartoon series featuring a character named PoopyFace Tomato-Nose, who is a duck with atomato for a nose. He takes this idea to a producer to see if it can be made into a TV series and the producer asks if PoopyFace Tomato-Nose's nose can be a plum instead of a tomato. Peter answers:
    "How dare you? A plum? What is this, 1986?"

    I don't get it, people didn't have plums for noses in 1986.:confused:

    They're just jokes..which a load of people find funny.
    If you get so easily offended then don't watch it.

    Simples.

    I found the episode of the simpsons where Homer invented the flaming moe to be horrendously homophobic. I spotted that they meant flaming (ho)moes and then moes bar (a symbol of 'normal' america) was ultimately turned into something horrible by the introduction of these flaming (ho)moes.

    Simpson creators (the same as family guys) are homophobes. :o

    They are almost literally the exact same show. How could you like one but not the other?
