Although not an episode per-se, this introductory crossover was the highlight of my high-school years, which makes it both incredible and ultra cringe-worthy.
Family Guy
Almost as inevitable as a Goofy x Homer Simpson crossover was that the characters of The Simpsons‘s biggest adult animation competitor, Family Guy, would someday take a trip from the cutaway-filled confines of Quahog, Rhode Island to Springfield, whatever the hell state The Simpsons is set in. Taking the worst of both series and running with it like a cocky high school quarterback, the episode featured one of Family Guy‘s signature minutes-long fight sequences between Homer and Peter Griffin, racist jokes about Apu, and several shots at their other major competitor, Bob’s Burgers. This cursed combo garnered mixed reviews from critics, including one scathing analysis that dubbed the entire affair a “blight on humanity.”
“Look. Nobody was expecting the Simpsons/Family Guy crossover that aired last night to be any good,” wrote Vox‘s Emily VanDerWerff. “For one thing, it was technically an episode of Family Guy, and whatever spirit or creativity that show had was long ago wrung dry. For another, when was the last time you saw a crossover event that was anything other than a cheap cash-in? The odds were against this from the first,” she continued.
“What could be expected here was mostly just a weird mediocrity, a blip of a footnote in both shows’ histories. What nobody could have expected was a blight on humanity itself. But that’s what we got.” Ouch. I bet that hurt more than getting punched in the face by a vengeful chicken.
