“They hate the show even more today than they did 25 years ago,” Warburton said. “My father was in a monastery for three months. He almost became a monk. … My mother [went] around the neighborhood when I was 13 years old passing out pamphlets on the sins of masturbation, [which] did not get me into the cool crowd. So they hate the show.”

“My mother belonged to the American Television Council and they were trying to get the show canceled,” Warburton continued. “I was helping support my parents with ‘Family Guy’ money. She tried to get me to sign the petition [to cancel the show]. I said, ‘Mom, if you don’t think I’m going to talk about this publicly, this is the greatest irony. You’re laundering money, you’re laundering it to yourself.’ They hate it more today.”

    I get that Family Guy is the more popular of the two, but…

    The man also voiced Brock fucking Samson. A walking wall of pure violence and sex. Like, shit, if Family Guy crosses the line, how about naked, covered in blood, and explaining how a knife to the kidney feels in a very charged manner.

      Shit man, they made Brock Samson live action, named it “Reacher,” and it blew away every metric in the conservative viewership.

      They adore the “big buff manly man who is always right, is adept at ultra violence, does what he wants, fucks without consequence, has endless money, comes and goes as he pleases” Gary sue stereotype.

      Thankfully, the lead, a Christian himself, has recently told off Trump fans for being the opposite of Christians

      “Trump is a rapist and a con man,” he said in the interview, “and yet the entire Christian church seems to be treat him like he’s their poster child and it’s unreal. I don’t understand it.”

      But Christians have become “ the most vitriolic tribe” the 41-year-old actor added. “It is so antithetical to what Jesus was calling us to be and to do.”

      So that’s very humourously wound them up.
