for example, if one of the characters wants to say “bye mom”, they might instead say “PEACE OUT BROTHER! MM MM OH YEAH!” and starts dancing/doing a “cool” gesture.

some of them also use “tiktok speak”/brainrot but i don’t get why, since wouldn’t this be “cooler” with children? i don’t know any actual adults who like things like that nor do they speak like that.

are they perhaps making fun of the younger generation? because it seems genuine, not making fun.

    odd. i mean, i also see this a lot on instagram stuff to promote their shows, i guess. new american dad doesn’t do this much, but i know the beginning of the new episode had roger being emo or something and saying “emo af!” not exactly brainrot, but still

    [my parents hated that i watched it at age 14, but american dad may be for teenagers. I’m sure there are other named examples where people did the stuff i named in the post.]

        I’m pretty sure Family Guy and American dad are just AI written at this point. Those shows haven’t been funny in like 10 years at least

          More accurately, it’s targeted for “not children”

          Adults happen to be “not children”, but teenagers REALLY WANT to be “not children”

          They also say “fire” like every new episode.
