Is Family Guy funny or annoying?

I'm voting Both - although I will say I find the funny usually outweighs the lame or "obviously trying too hard" most of the time. Mostly.
When it's good, it's hilarious - but some of the gags are beginning to feel a bit dated.

Last night's episode...NOT funny. Good god was that stupid. I was ready to turn it off after the first five minutes but kept watching anyway.
I loved the first couple of seasons. The satire seemed sharper, I guess because the show was fresh.
Now it just seems a bit tired I guess.

I loved that show but I saw a South Park (two, actually) episode that made fun of it and it began to get annoying. In South Park they made fun of how much they change scenes for flashbacks and hypothetical situations...which is what started to annoy me. I still find it funny though.
All of the character's voices kill me but I like the characters.

Both. Sometimes I find it rather funny and amusing. Other times I'll be watching an episode and think to myself "what the hell is this crap?" 
At first I didn't quite get it...the randomness of it but after a few episodes I became a fan. I'm not a super huge fan as in I won't change my schedule to watch it but if its on I usually watch.
So, I voted for FUNNY.

"Love Blactually" and "I Dream of Jesus" (Two newest episodes) I have to admit were the funniest i've ever seen.
I freaking love family guy. Love it. Same goes for Robot Chicken. Two great shows IMHO that I have set on my DVR.
no, the show is not funny to me at all. give me a break, they have jokes that arent ever derived from the plot. basically, they start with "remember that one time ...." and add some "hilarious" activity with some pop references to actor/actress that the writers saw on tv as kids.
and its not like im doing some massive analysis on a cartoon, after all, the simpsons in the 90s showed that animated shows can have some real merit.
either way, i think family guy is attractive to youngins and gradually your tastes mature

The Surfing Bird gag went on for way, way, wayyyyy too long, that seemed like half the episode on its own. but I love the show, it's much funnier than Simpsons. I don't understand the Simpsons anymore.. they seem to base everything in an episode around some celebrity showing up on the show now, it's annoying
Family Guy is funny as hell. It has this kind of non-sense out-of-nowhere kinda jokes which I love. If you want classic humor (which I find boring and uncreative) watch the Simpsons.
"The Bird is the word" episode was incredible

the "there seems to be some news missing in this newspaper...a certain ornithological piece. news about a certain avian variety" scene simply was too awesome
I voted annoying.
Initially, I really like it, but then the novelty wore off and the formula came full force..
Like the time I [insert random quasi-funny, quasi-strange experience here].
Plus, I'm tired of them making fun of Rhode Island. It's pronounced "Puhtucket", not "Pawtuckette".
