Although Stewie may forever be a baby, Meg became an adult in this week’s Family Guy! The Griffins celebrated Meg’s momentous steps into womanhood by taking her to the Teen Choice Awards and attempting to preserve her childhood.
I have to congratulate Family Guy for its awesome parody and homage to the Teen Choice Awards. Having been a teenager not too long ago, I can appreciate how it must appear to those without the raging hormones of teen-dom. From the host “Lady Hair Douche-ton,” to the psychotic teenage girls drooling over Robert Pattinson, the Family Guy version was pretty accurate.
I absolutely loved tonight’s focus on “Meg and Quagmire,” two characters who seldom interact but were hilarious together. Meg as the desperate, lonely teenager starved for male attention, and Quagmire as his womanizing self was a dynamic combination that didn’t take the creep factor too far.
Quagmire’s text-seduction of Meg and his impressive ability to act like a generic teenager was both unnerving and funny. After all, doesn’t modern teenage romance happen over Facebook and texts these days? Is it weird that Quagmire (and Family Guy) knows that? Maybe a little…but Quagmire the “Vagician” is all about adapting to the situation.
It was a nice touch for Family Guy to involve more of the Griffins in the budding affair. In contrast to their normal lack of affection for Meg, both Lois and Peter acted like good, concerned parents tonight. Peter was up in arms at the thought of his daughter dating a “wiener” like Quagmire, while Lois played her “wise mother” card.
