Even ‘Family Guy’ Actor Patrick Warburton Gets Offended By Some of the Show’s Jokes

Breaking News: Family Guy can sometimes be offensive. Just ask Patrick Warburton, the voice of Joe Swanson on the show.

Although he told HuffPost Live that he’s generally “okay with everything” on the show, he is sometimes rubbed the wrong way when it comes to the series’ religious jokes – especially one in particular.

He decline to give details on the offending line, only saying it was “the most offensive thing I’d ever seen ever in any form of media towards Christians.”

“It was something that was so offensive that I said, ‘If that’s in the show, I can’t do this episode. Put it in another fucking episode that I’m not in,’” he said. “We all wonder if we have a line that can be crossed, and I just discovered there is actually a line with me.”

But some of the complainers that clamor for the show to be yanked off the air can take note of Warburton’s solution: “We turn it off in our house every now then then, too, when it gets just too sacrilegious.” Interestingly, one of those complainers is Warburton’s own mother, who happens to be a member of the notorious Parents Television Council (PTC). I guess the apple falls far, but not too far, from the tree.

Puddy probably thinks Seth MacFarlane is going to hell too, right?
