      But it's worse than this because they didn't Flanderise him, they completely rewrote him.

      The latter is much easier to make jokes of, remember this is a comedy cartoon first and foremost. Is it lazy? Yeah but everything in modern Family Guy is lazy.

        Most of the characters were. I mean side characters like this were just changed for easy joke bait. The main characters are barely characters and are just written in whatever fashion fits the craply jokes they're trying to tell. Peter and Lois are now both psychopathic monsters.
        Stewie also went from evil genius trying to kill his mother and rule the world to a homosexual who sometimes does sci-fi shit with the dog.

    Edginess, Joe was always a source of cripple and aggro jokes but with an attempt to be nuanced or positive. When they lost the imperative to have Joe also be a character you truly LIKED it was easy to make his handicap and demeanor be a case of suicidal depression due to his inability to live comfortably.

      He's not a good dad. He fricked up his so to the point that he bullied him into joining the army and led to him deserting and declared him dead for several years and didn't tell anyone about it until Bonnie finally gave birth to his second child.

        Huh, that's really interesting. So they undid his backstory to make his injury worse and make jokes about incontinence and impotence.

          Ahem. Correction.
          they retconned his injury so that the new writer could insert his diaper change fetish "jokes" into the show. What you thought that shit just appeared out of nowhere? The fact that said person has been with them since the early seasons says a lot.

            That is because Joe was Crippled twice
            The original/retconned origin was his lets being damaged
            The post Joe walks again episode he shot his spine off because bonnie couldn't hit him for shit and he went frick it he will do by himself.

            it was here that the poop jokes began after it

      Family Guy is the best of this type of show. American Dad, The Simpsons, Bob's Burgers, even Rick and Morty are all now about one of the characters learning a life lesson that they have already learned a million times before. It's the same shit over and over and over. Family Guy has broken the mold and it's now terrible people shitting on each other for jokes. 10/10.
