Family Guy has assumed knowledge from everything ever made (not that I am a fan of that either, but at least it doesn’t expect a 3 hour to 80 year commitment to get the full story).
Family Guy had the appearance of assumed knowledge, but really the writers know as little about what they’re talking about as you do.
Seriously controversial take: Seth McFarlane is one of the least funny people ever to live, he just knows how to make things sound like a joke whether it’s funny or not. He’s like some weird AI that just completely and utterly lacks any understanding of what a joke is outside of intonation and timing.
Just since I have a rare opportunity to talk about comics; I felt disappointed when I saw the Scott Pilgrim movie. It wasn’t a bad movie by any means, but it had to gloss over a lot of the character charm. It never turned me on like this:

Family Guy did always give me the sense of referencing a thing being the punchline in and of itself. Anyway, Cyndi Lauper 4-ever.
