Was I surprised that the funniest part of 'Family Guy' creator Seth MacFarlane's live comedy special on Fox was also its most politically incorrect? No. Check out this clip about deaf actress Marlee Matlin, and feel bad about laughing.

Click to viewFamily Guy's jokes frequently rest on so-called 'offensive' humor, and this was on full display during 'Seth and Alex's Almost Live Review,' which featured MacFarlane and Alex Bornstein (the voice of Lois) playing to a live audience in front of a big band. The musical numbers, sketches and karaoke-like live performances to Family Guy clips almost universally pushed the very hot buttons of race, class, gender and disability in ways that should guarantee Fox an inbox stuffed full with angry letters for the next few weeks. But 'Seth and Alex's Almost Live Review' managed to do something Family Guy doesn't always accomplish: Be funny in an 'offensive' way while avoiding the sense that to cause offense was an end in itself.

Plot: Peter and Chris accompany Joe, Kevin, Cleveland and Cleveland Jr. On a father-son camping trip. Joe's gung ho ways and his derisive remarks, coupled with Chris' inability to be responsible for the campsite, cause Peter to doubt his influence on Chris. Peter decides he. Stewie has a new toy and he wants to try it out to his family. New Games Next in 00:00. Family Guy: Victory is Ours.

The best 'offensive' jokes are those that comment on the very concept of being offended. They spoof the arcane rules of political correctness that dictate what certain people can say about other kinds of people, and how they can say it. The bit above is probably the purest form of this kind of humor: What could have been the worst sort of caricature was deftly turned into a meta-joke on viewers. The realization that Matlin's in on the joke prompts (at least in me) a sense of relief so strong that it makes you question what the hell you were doing laughing in the first place. The reveal is a judo move that uses our own highly-honed sense of political correctness against us, and, basically, is just really funny! Good work, Seth and Alex.

This bit from Family Guy, on the other hand? Meh.

When Meg Met Zack

Dicslamer: I do not own Family Guy. If I did, Meg would not be bashed and Chris would.

Chapter 1: They Meet.

----

The Griffins going on a family outing, when Peter makes up a game.

'Hey, I've got a game we can play,' said Peter, 'Whenever we see a buggie on the road, we hit Meg!'

'What?!?!' shouts Meg, 'Don't I get a say in this.'

'No,' Peter simply says.

'Punch buggy green,' says Chris after seeing a green buggie and hitting Meg.

'OW!'

'Punch buggy blue!' shouts Stewie and he hits Meg.'

'OWWW!'

'Punch buggy yellow!' shouts Peter as he punches Meg on the head... HARD.

'OOOOOOOWWWW!!!! STOP IT!!!'

'HAHAHA!!! Listen to her whine!' said Peter as he was amused with his sick game.

'Peter, this isn't funny!' said Lois.

'Sure it is!' said Peter, 'Just like the time I pushed Meg in front of a speeding bus.'

Flashback

Meg and Peter are standing on the sidewalk.

'Hey Meg, you wanna visit Mexico?' asks Peter.

'Actually no. But I've always wanted to go to-' said Meg before she was cut off by Peter pushing her in front of a speeding bus going to Mexico.

'And while you're there, get me a sombrero,' shouts Peter, 'And don't drink the water! No scratch that. Drink all the water you want!'

'You told me Meg was at a friend's house,' said Lois.

'Well you should have known that was a lie when I said 'Meg' and 'friend' in the same sentence without saying 'she doesn't have any',' said Peter.

Meg sees a red buggie and decides that now was her chance.

'Punch buggy red,' she says as she hits Chris, 'That's one point for me!'

'Ow! Dad make her stop!' whines Chris.

'Oh that's it!' says Peter angrily, 'You have gone too far Meg!'

'But I only hit him once!' says Meg.

'Out of the car!' shouts Peter.

'But-' said Meg before she was interrupted by Peter making a hole through the win shield with his fist.

'NOW!' shouts Peter.

Meg instantly obeys and gets out of the car. Peter then drives off leaving Meg alone in a part of Quahog she's never been in. She walks for over an hour until she comes up to a 7-11.

'Excuse me,' said Meg as she walked to the counter, 'I'm lost and I need a ride home. Do you have a phone I can use.'

'Are you a paying customer?' asks the manager who suddenly walks into the room.

'I don't have any money,' said Meg.

'Hell no you can't use it!' said the manager as he went back into the back room.

'Wait!' said the clerk as he stopped Meg from leaving, 'You can use my cell phone.'

'Thank you,' said Meg.

'Name's Zack Murdock, by the way.' said Zack. Zack had long blonde hair with a mustacheless goatee, an earring and a green beanie.

'I'm Meg,' she responds as she dails the number and the reciever picks up.

'Hello?' said Peter on the other end.

'I need a ride home. I'm at a 7 eleven in uncharted Quahog,' said Meg.

'Who is this,' said Peter.

'Meg.' Said Meg and Peter then hangs up, 'Oh, COME ON!!!'

'What happened?' asks Zack.

'That fat bastard father of mine hung up on me!'

'He WHAT?!?!'

'I should call Quagmire,' said Meg, 'Maybe he can help.'

'Quagmire? As in Glen 'The pervert/rapist/sex offender/wierdo' Quagmire?' asks Zack.

'Don't worry. We live in the same street,' said Meg.

'You do?'

'Yup.'

'Well, either way, I can't let you call him,' said Zack as he took his phone back, 'I still remember when he invited my sister over to make some 'ol fashioned home cookin'.'

'What happened?' Meg asked.

'When I got there, they were making burgers,' said Zack, 'And before that, they were having sex! Dammit, I wish she would've let me know! Anywho, how about I take you home in my car instead?'

'Sure, thanks,' said Meg.

'Is that moneyless bitch still here?!?!' shouts the manager.

'SHUT UP YOU PORKER!!!' shouted Zack, 'YOU PROBABLY WOULDN'T SAY THAT IF SHE WAS SOME BLONDE BUSTY STRIPPER!!! Idiot...'

'Why are you yelling at your boss?' asked Meg.

'He's also my dad, and we have issues,' said Zack.

'But won't he fire you?' asks Meg.

'Nah!' said Zack, 'He NEEDS me! Now, let's go. Dad, I'm taking her home!'

'Eww! You takin' that ugly porker home?' shouted the manager from the back room.
