Family Guy: Internet Just Finds Out About Nipsey Hussle Joke From Two Years Ago

The internet loves its outrage. Probably floating underneath the news of the other internet outrage that went down this last week, millennial starved press outlets like Newsweek, Okayplayer, and Complex are just NOW getting up in arms about a 2021 episode of Family Guy that featured a Nipsey Hussle bit. Really the conversation was stirred by one Tweet, but that didn’t stop the aforementioned garbage outlets from going bananas.

The episode entitled “Young Parent Trap” featured Chris letting his parents know that he was going to a music festival that would feature the holograms of 2Pac and Nipsey Hussle, the latter being the butt of the joke that you can see in the link above.

It’s jokes like these that ensure Family Guy’s status as one of the biggest animated comedies on television today and why FOX continues to renew the series for multiple seasons at a time.

Entering its 21st season, FAMILY GUY continues to entertain its die-hard fan base with razor-sharp humor, spot-on parodies, spectacular animation and orchestra-backed original music. Since its debut in 1999, the series has reached cult status among fans, and its breakout star, a talking baby, has become one of the greatest TV characters of all time. FAMILY GUY has racked up numerous awards, including an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series, only the second animated series in television history to be honored with such a distinction. Most recently, series creator and lead voice actor Seth MacFarlane (voices of “Peter Griffin,” “Stewie Griffin,” “Brian Griffin” and “Glenn Quagmire”) was nominated for the 2021 Emmy Award for Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance and won the 2019 Emmy Award for Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance. Cast member Alex Borstein (voice of “Lois Griffin”) won the 2018 Emmy Award in the category. MacFarlane also was nominated that year. He won the 2017 and 2016 Emmy Award in the category, and was nominated from 2013 to 2015.

Featuring the series’ milestone 400th episode, Season 21 will continue to provide a humorous take on current events, with big name guest voices, including Mario Lopez, Gerald McRaney, Jay Pharoah, Martha Plimpton and Casey Wilson, as well as Sam Elliott as the mayor of Quahog.

FAMILY GUY is a 20th Television Animation production. Seth MacFarlane is creator and executive producer. Rich Appel and Alec Sulkin serve as executive producers and showrunners, while Steve Callaghan, Tom Devanney, Danny Smith, Kara Vallow, Mark Hentemann and Patrick Meighan are executive producers.
