It dates back to at least the 1987 movie Planes, Trains & Automobiles, when John Candy utters the phrase to Steve Martin.

Family Guy's writers aren't really clever enough to create their own material, so they usually take it from 80s stuff. Even the songs are usually copy/pasted from shitty older musicals.

NO

Family Guy didn't invent shit.

People act like the whole nostalgia obsession thing is a recent occurance, but people have been pining for the past for forever now. Family Guy got its early fan base by CONSTANTLY, agonizingly, beating dead horses again and again.

Do you think people watched shows like The Brady Bunch because they wanted to? Of course not. They had to because there were barely any tv shows on air at the time. But people look fondly on stuff like that anyway because the past can always been painted as being better than now when, oftentimes, it's not. In fact, the past is usually worse than now. And it keeps getting worse the further back you go.

Does Peter ever actually say "You think that's bad" in Family Guy or is that just something South Park made up for their parody?


I don't know why, but whenever I see somebody watching a shitty sitcom, that phrase pops into my head.

I disagree. It's quite the opposite. Back in the 1970s-1990s, you had great shows like MASH, Cosby Show, Cheers, Friends, Dallas, yes even Seinfeld, Different Strokes, All In The Family, and so on. What do you have today? Trashy "reality shows" that rely on fights between contestants, sleazy stars, and so on.

They're not even clever enough to retell something funny and keep it funny.
