I don't even know what to say! I'm speechless. The November 18, 2018 episode of Family Guy. The shade of it all! Queen! Legend!

I love un-PC humor. But I just don't feel super good about this one.

Bloody hilarious!

Same. Feels very uncomfortable finding it funny.

I laughed my hiney off without an ounce of shame or regret. See y'all in hell, I guess.

PS I'm shocked the creators would think that enough (any) people would get this joke to put it in. When I stopped laughing (about 20-30s) that was my first thought.

I chuckled a bit, but I agree - I was mostly just confused that they think the general public will get the reference.

I don't see much harm in this clip....I am too, ok with un-PC jokes..... as long as all athletes are a fair game when they are displaying bad behavior... like this one: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dm3lrLxXcAAwZIS.jpg

Typical Family Guy humor. Nothing on that show makes me laugh out loud but some of it is mildly amusing like this bit.

I think the target audience skews older -- 30s & 40s -- so they were old enough to remember The Whack and its aftermath.

It wasn't an Oksana Baiul joke, as much as a Gandalf joke. The name "Oksana Baiul" does sound like something Gandalf would say. lol

By winning the '94 Olympic gold - the gold that poor Nancy was supposed to win - Oksana got caught up in the whole Nancy/Tonya saga and because of that, she is famous enough to be remembered. Obviously.

This episode also featured both Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski throughout (they voiced themselves) and Tara and Johnny are no more well-known to the general public than Oksana.

Exactly.

Seth McFarlane did a whole episode of American Dad around skating so he knows his skating.

The only thing they missed was having a Madonna song playing loudly.

Omg was it reported Oksana was playing Madonna in her car when it crashed? lol

I met Oksana Baiul at a public skate years ago. I was in hockey back then and didn't know it was her. It was only me and her on ice for the whole session, and during a break I told her she had nice jumps. I asked if she did triples, she said "I used to do them". She was constantly checking her phone for results from Sochi Olympics, and I stupidly told her "I don't care too much about the Olympics". To a Olympic gold medalist LOL. She looked very amused and giggled. A few days later I figured out it was her and it's really a fond memory, she was incredibly sweet to be honest.

Thanks for sharing that! You're very lucky to have had that experience!

I love un-PC humor. But I just don't feel super good about this one.

If the same skit had been made with the miriad of ex-NFL players who drank, crashed, and/or killed, this skit would be called racists, sexist, or whatever. As long as gay-friendly people are mocked, it's ok.

It arguably pokes fun at drunk driving, which isn't at all funny.

I agree.

Not to make excuses for them, but the show is known for its irreverence. They make sexiest and racist jokes all the time. The played 'la cucaracha' as the Mexican national anthem after Consula's curling match. ....
