Family guy is a clone of The Simpsons. The Simpsons is a clone of The Flintstones. The Flintstones is a clone of the Cave men.

I actually didn't mind the Cleveland Show. It felt more grounded and real (mind the bear)- didn't just throw you into cutaway gags all the time. Plus, Cleveland's family actually felt like a family- whereas the Griffins stopped hitting that mark, as previously mentioned in the Brian video.

in the defense of Fugget About It, they did at least spice it up from family guy dynamics for the most part and made it more about a mafia family coming to a new country and trying to adjust. They also 'taught' people about some parts of Canada here and there but i wouldn't outright say its a family guy clone

*there’s old clones, there’s new clones and even a bear*

To be fair, American Dad eventually found it's voice and broke away from being just a Family Guy clone (And I think Roger was a big reason why)

"Quick Peter! Change pigments!" actually managed to make me chuckle a bit.

I will never understand those people who complain about an art style being too similar to another show, despite the two shows being made by the same person.

"Stewie pregnant with brians babies." Im sorry... wHAT?

The term "clone is now outdated The word we use now is "echo"

I actually really like American Dad. While The Cleveland Show and Family Guy feel pretty similar, American Dad for whatever reason distances itself enough. The characters just feel like they have more heart to them. It's also nice to see characters like Stan, who is more emotional and cares about what his kids are doing, and Francine who is more casual. You don't see that often in the typical family sitcom. Ironically, I would say Stan is more of a family guy than Peter, since he acts more like a father and less like a dimwitted fourth child that Lois has to deal with. Besides that, it also doesn't rely heavily on pop culture and relevant celebrities. It's timeless, which I think is important in a show. Especially with how quick memes and viral jokes become annoying these days.

American Dad and the Cleveland Show aren't clones. One is a spinoff, the other is a show by the same creators in the same universe. They're the younger siblings of Family Guy.

I’d say American dad right now is better then family guy right now just because they don’t rely on meaningless cutaways to make jokes

when i was 16 i went to an art camp and a girl said i reminded her of a character from brickelberry and while she said it as a compliment i never felt so insulted

9:17 white Cleveland looks like a adult morty

Man I’m glad you gave American dad the credit it deserves. Recently it’s gotten a little… well, bad. But the golden years will always be golden.

American dad is actually funny and has taken a life on its own. Roger is one of the best characters on tv

American Dad is different in the fact their character can survive their own episode

American dad is honestly one of the best cartoons on TV. You can tell that's where Seth puts all his energy into and just does family guy for a paycheck. American dad is actually funny every episode and actually has characters that have grown over time. Season 1 American dad is way different from the current seasons. Amazing seeing actual character development in an adult animated sitcom

The clones are great and stand on their own. There’s too many seasons of family guy but you can binge the entirety of the clones in one sitting if you wanted. Tells a story of sorts

Why do most adult shows have such generic, static animation

Birckleberry Employlee: Hey we're failing, any ide- CEO: P O R N

american dad is still a very solid show and unlike many adult animated cartoon, the episode arent becoming more and more boring. the characters are all very likeable and roger and his crap always make my day.

Dude american dad is genuinely great tbh. Its family guy without cutaways, more focused stories and good characters

"Hey Lois , remember the times our Shows got cloned , even by our own creator "

ls mark is a clone of turkey tom and turkey tom is a clone of just jargon

American dad actually found their uniqueness and it’s even better to me than family guy the songs Steve makes, RODGER, and the type of stories help the show find their own way and it still holds up

0:17 this aged like shit

"And even a bear" *BEAR NOISE-E-E-E-*

Fugget About It looks like a parody of a show they'd use for a 5 second gag on Johnny Test

In Spain we were visionaries we already had a Family guy clone back in 2001, it was called ¡Qué bello es sobrevivir! And they even used the same Spanish voice actor that voiced Peter Griffin

To be fair American dad kinda turned into its own thing after a while

Ironically everyone accused Family Guy of being a Simpsons clone when it originally aired.

Hey Lois, remember the time that Cleveland ripped us off?

That body bag joke got me, I have to give them that one

The “and even a bear” joke never fails to make me laugh my ass off

You have the same hair as Danny phantom you’re a clone

Person: so there’s a family sitcom with a bad father, right.. Fox: no Person: and there’s a bear... Fox: this is ground breaking!

Honestly, American Dad is what Family Guy should have been, it's the best out of the three shows and definitely deserves to not be called a clone.

0:40 Pop base is cool and all but dear god I’m scarred

You can’t really call the Cleveland Show a clone because it’s in the same universe

"ITS THE COPS!" "worse-" *Add plays* "100% ground beef sadness"

I actually barely even watch family guy at all anymore. Especially in the past years, but American dad on the other hand is great! I constantly watch clips of it and still die laughing 😂

American Dad > Family Guy i actually care about the characters, their adventures actually do carry weight and effects them, the jokes are more clever and realistic, and Roger is so clear of Brian

wow i can't believe you got Seth MacFarlane, creator of Family Guy, to appear in your video!!

Simpsons: *laughs in yellow*

that statement of enchanted portals not being a clone has aged like milk

Seth actually didn't want to even do The Cleveland Show. Fox was wanting another series from him for their animation domination block, so he very reluctantly agreed to a Family Guy spin-off. But that's why they make so many jokes at its expense. It was a mandatory four season show (seriously, they ordered four seasons before a single episode aired) that he really wanted nothing to do with (and eventually even stopped voicing the bear).

I think that American Dad actually is still a good show, and unlike almost every other clone (including family guy)can actually watch any episode and could confidently say I could watch it again. Each character has something redeemable about them, they don't feel overused and stale, and most importantly, it doesn't feel like I'm being condescended just for watching it. They actually use the runtime for something other than meaningless irrelevant fluff padding a 5 minute plot line into a 30 minute time slot.

Everybody gangster till the Peter Griffin clone puts his hands on his hips

One thing that made Brickleberry stick out to me as a younger dude was the Daniel Tosh character (Malloy the bear). Daniel Tosh is pretty good with shock value humor and can keep them going without losing it's value for the most part. I can totally see how it's a clone of family guy but I always enjoyed Brickleberry because of the vague hint of Tosh you can hear.

The legacy Family Guy has left on the world will remembered forever. One expample is the song “here’s to the ones that we got”. “here’s to the ones that we got” is a song by American band Family Guy, released through 222 and Interscope Records on September 20, 2019, as the lead single from the band's seventh studio album Jordi.[2][3] Lyrically, the song pays homage to the memories of a loved one who has since passed. The song received generally amazing reviews from music critics and was listed as one of the most moving songs of 2019 by Spin magazine. "here’s to the ones that we got" is based on "Canon in D Major" by German composer Peter Griffin Pachelbel. The song was written by Family Guy's lead singer Peter Griffin, Stewie Griffin, John Herbert, and Glenn Quag and the production team Family Guy and the Family Guy produced the song. The single peaked at number 1 on the US Greatest song ever chart and at number one on the international music charts. It is Family Guy’s final single with bassist Peter Griffin, who announced his departure from the band in 2020, following his arrest for being a great singer

I remember there was a point when we just straight up stopped watching Family guy and started watching American Dad since the latter was just more entertaining and less "lolsorandom".

Dont forget that Family Guy is a shameless clone of the simpsons

0:17 aged like milk

His voice sounds so much more quieter and I never noticed until now

“This is getting out of hand! Now there are two of them!”

I remember Brickleberry. My brother and I used to watch it all the time as kids because our parents thought it was a light-hearted kids cartoon.

I actually watched fugget about it and remember enjoying it. I streamed it on discord and they seemed to enjoy it as well. Fugget about it was very underrated

The Cleveland Show wasn't a clone, it was a spin-off; Seth was well aware of the similarities.

I've been saying since it started airing on adult swim, the reason why the Cleveland snow failed was one specific reason: it wasn't the Cleveland show, it was black family guy. The Cleveland show could have been good, compare it with fraiser: a side character leaves the area with his new family and meets new people as he starts his own life. Its pretty basic, but there was alot to work with. Cleveland had a set personality for a decade. Some might argue that he was just the calm and quiet black friend and that's not much of a character, but rather than work to expand his character and give it development like the writers did on fraiser, they quarter assed it and just decided to make him peter Griffin. This didn't work with family guy fans because they had seen a character for a decade become the his friend that they knew he wasn't, new viewers got sick of the same seth mcfarlane show and blacks who many claimed the show pandered to didn't like it, obviously, because it seemed that it was trying to pander to them (which they did a poor job of doing)

The fact that even "old pervert character" is stolen from Family Guy is crazy.

I laugh everytime I see RLM clips in other people’s videos they’re always so fitting

Hey! Did you knew that Seth Mcfarlane and Butch Hartman not only both worked on Johnny Bravo together, but also went to the same animation school?

Do your research, american dad came out when family guy WAS cancelled but then they brought back family guy. So american dad is its own thing

I love all these shows

I think one of the reasons American Dad works is the main characters are all interesting, distinct, diverse and fleshed out enough to easily have their own solo episodes and b-plots. It can have like FOUR plots going on in an episode and all be good. Meanwhile Family Guy more relies on Brian Stewie and Peter. Can you even DESCRIBE Lois's personality without looking it up? I fucking dare ya.

Mark, you made me lol at that "I'm your real uncle bit"

Fugget about it actually sounds like an interesting premise, and could’ve been good if they decided to give it a more serious tone.

fugget about it is the best thing here. i've watched out cleveland show, bricklebeerry n fugget about it. n i still rewatch fugget about it episodes to this day.

The opening bit of Brickleberry's pilot episode is all the forest critters mating... Classy...

Honestly I love American dad. They even had a C plot of Rogers crap and it was actually interesting 😂 not only that but it took them like, 5+ years or something to complete that arc. It was well done

I kinda liked brickleberry just for the novelty of hearing tom kenny swear like a sailor

that ls mark with peters face in the thumbnail is absolutely cursed

Honestly the best part is just butch telling us to sub to you. I mean I have been for a while but the criticism you've shown him makes it all the better. Edit: also he looks super pissed about having to say that. Makes me smile even more.

Gotta be honest, i prefer American Dad over Family Guy.

It's interesting to call American Dad a “clone” of Family Guy when it's made by the exact same person who made Family Guy, Seth MacFarlane Edit: I think some people are taking this comment the wrong way I was being literal I'm saying it's an interesting Perspective because personally I don't consider it a clone but some people might. I wasn't calling LS Mark out or anything like that.

For those of you who didnt understand what he meant by “clone of a clone of a clone” family guy was technically a clone of the simpsons but kinda inspired by it but it became its own unique thing pretty fast

I rewatch this once every 3 months

My family used to get together and watch cartoons like The Simpsons and Family Guy, and then we all got phones and started finding content that didn't rely on cheap cut scene jokes and racist stereotypes, and suddenly going back and watching Family Guy, it wasn't funny anymore

Therapist: Stan with butt chin cant hurt you, he's not real Stan with butt chin:

was terrified seeing american dad in the thumbnail because i think its actually pretty consistently good. glad too see others think at least somewhat similarly of it

hot take: I liked the Cleveland Show, it was less mean spirited Family Guy with no cutaway gags.

Everybody gangster until the avatar crosses his arms ****EVACUATE****

Hey Lois remember the time when we used to copy stuff

Ugh, this reminded me of my own idea for a Family Guy clone. The hook I had was that the whole family were a bunch of sideshow circus freaks. The dad as I recall could dislocate any part of his body, the wife was the bearded lady, the son was a toad boy, and the teenage daughter was the human pin cushion. I think the only thing really notable beyond that was it actually would have focused on circus-related stories combined with the sitcom family satire, like one episode would have introduced a lion tamer who hits on the wife character, so the husband would want to become a lion tamer himself out of jealousy.

wouldn't The Cleveland Show be a Spinoff and not a clone??

I thought the main character in Bordentown was supposed to be disliked? Like the show was making fun of him and saying don't root for him.

imagine making a show so unfunny that someone who likes family guy wouldnt like

I _love_ the Purple Shep voice!

Fugger about it is a hidden gem... damn...

3:52 I thought that was a Family Guy shirt until I zoomed in.

I feel like every adult show has that same animation

So personally I see your points but I truly loved brickle berry and paradise PD, fugget about it has its own charm too.

This a LS Mark classic

That one game is most definitely a clone of Cuphead.

Shameless Simpsons clone: family guy.

i remember watching family guy on the crt we had back then when i was 5 i said "i wanna watch family guy!" then they let me watch it and i watched about 3 episodes of it while occasionally grabbing fruit snacks, and i loved it! and that was my first experience with adult animation

And as a Canadian, I loved fugget about it lol
