Nine months after announcing on-air that it was “trying to phase out” gay jokes, Family Guy offered a clarification of sorts on Sunday.
In the episode, titled “Disney’s The Reboot,” a focus group was assembled to help choose a new direction for the show, now in its 18th season. Following a scene with jokes about Peter’s sexuality, one group member said, “I thought I read you guys were phasing out gay jokes,” to which Peter replied, “That quote was taken out of context and widely misunderstood.”
