News / Polish people humiliated in the latest episode of Family Guy [51]

omg you Polish ppl can't ever joke at yourself, you should be happy that at least they mention Poland so we are becoming more popular.

plus did you see and episode when they laugh at IRISH?or GERMAN?or SWEDISH?orJAPANESE?or anybody else?every episode is poking fun at sb, especially Americans and this is the essence of Family Guy.

plus they didnt ridicule Poles, they just said Quagmire is Polish, like any other American, has grandma or granddad from Poland, which is awesome.
I'm Polish myself and I love the episode when they go to early 20th century Poland and laugh at us.
Gain some distance towards our sick patriotism.

News / Polish people humiliated in the latest episode of Family Guy [51]

Heh thanks guys for defending my point. Plus So what I live in Malta?I lived in the Uk, been to Us and all over. Wherever I meet ppl they always express their stereotyoes of Poland, the same as of other countries, it's normal. I bet you yourself are full of prejudices as we all probably are. I was always defending Poland and my Italian or Swedish friends would only pick on me more and more as they understood I can't laugh at myself. I would on the other hand pass constant comments to them as Italian hairy chest or Swedis snobs etc. Finally I stopped defendind and starting laughing with them, at least stereotype of stupidly stubborn and argumentative, proud Pole we can tick off the list, the other thing that the only reason for stereotypes existing is the fact that many a time they are true. However Quagmire being a pervert as related to Poles is an obvious joke in my opinion, which even if not- who the hell cares? It's not that an American will change his overly good opinion of Polish ( ;) )only due to a cartoon show, is he? Just chill out then and watch padre de familia episode, end of preaching;)

Regarding 'poles can't laugh at themselves:

Im not offending anybody, people when will you relax a little?
A fact or not, everybody knows that we can't laugh at ourselves, how many Poles do you know who do? I often have problems with it when i hear again:poland? Oh you poor girl, you can't too if uou feel offended and the other guy who posted the question.

Generalisations are not meant to offend anybody but to change us and make us European, have you seen English forums? Do they post: did you see what they tell abt us in Simpsons?'

Anyway its good that at least we don't throw potatoes and cabbage at each other as my mates always tease me with;)
Cheerio

Heh i still think you can't take any criticism and i bet you have a lot of so called village patriotysm Patrycja, of course we can have fun without talking abt nationalities but that's the whole point of family guy first of all, secondly u dont understand it at all. Family guy bever ridicules poles or whoever, it shows how Stupid are Americans( or not to 'offend anybody') how some of them are and how some of them think of Poles, Spanish, German etc. Thirdly it shows that majority of Americans have Polish, German, swedish, etc ancestors, so in the end we are all big family.fourth, the whole discussion was about poles being ridiculed which is total cullahit, if u saw other episodes you should know they always laugh at sb,did you see the one abt a puppet master?that's offensive!and somehow germans are fine with it, only poles eternallynwounded souls..

Also the style of your responses is somehow rude and makes me not want to read this thread further as from a discussion it's turning into some( initially girly talk about not offending ppl) aloof tyrade. Also ypu are funny in your reading only the info you want as you read I live in Malta but not that Im Polish or not even heard me mentioning it before in previous messages, therefore it seems you dont want to open your mind and wanna stay stubborn as Mayority not all Poles are;) see im learning;)

When it comes to justysia, i think you as many girls simply dont have a sense of humour, that's why you dont understand family guy which makes references to many things that you won't understand as they are culturally rooted or meaning sth else than you expect. For example down syndrome girl episode, again it's not laughing at her, it's showing that she is the same as any other she can hurt a boy and she can dress up or not, be nice or be arrogant, beautiful or ugly as everyone else. But it may be hard for a layman.

Ah yeah to stay on the safe side from your highly predictable question, im a a girl too
Cheers

Heh shallow.. You people..
Anyway for the last time I'll try to explain so that maybe you understand that Family guy is actually defending you Poles, for some reason Americans actually like us.

Episode 16, season 7
'
We're going to build a new settlement. We'll have a happy, new life and we'll have equal rights for all. Except blacks, Asians, Hispanics, Jews, gays, women, Muslims...Umm, everybody who's not a white man. And I mean white, white. So no Italians, no Polish. Just people from Ireland, England, and Scotland. But only certain parts of Scotland and Ireland. Just full-blooded whites. No, you know what? Not even whites. Nobody gets any rights. Aah, America!'

And for laymen again, this is not to ridicule us, but to present that in once free country called America, nobody has any rights now, and especially immigrant whom nobody respects, also he means that in America, there are no americans in their purity, all of them are either of hispanic or italian or polish origin.

Thank god for family guy which one day will open the narrowminded eyes of racists and other crap like that.

Heh brilliant ogien, you are one of those that make me want to leave the forum, which shouldn't be the case since we are here to discuss things not bump heads.

1. I am Polish, 100%.
2. I do read every post, which you obviously don't. If you however did, you would know that by Polish, we don't mean every single person in the country, generalisations are normal figures of speech. Also if you did read as you claim you do, you would know that I even mentioned myself being stubborn at the beginning, however my foreign friends taught me better than that and therefore I'm trying to spread the knowledge;)

3. Why do you worry so much about spelling? Relax a bit.
4. You seem to be a bit aloof, again relax a little and try not to offend anybody with your rude remarks.
5. The reason why you get so upset is simply you being a typical Pole which is very obstinate and also very touchy and sensitive.
For the last time, the reason why family guy or even me say comments about Poland is either because we wish to ridicule the people who actually don't like Poland, not Poland itself or because we want to stir a bit and make people like you enthusiastic and have a lively discussion. However, there is no need for anger or whatever you feel there.

Cheers

Ah yeah btw this time I used apostrophes and contractions just to please you;) although nobody else but you gives a damn about some stupid spelling.

It seems we can't have a discussion because the only thing you can do is offend, will try to remove you from the forum if possible. Anyway don't know why you are speaking about the matter then if you are not Polish. Well at least I am happy that you are not a Pole.
