Family Guy:

1. Charlie Brown from Snoopy as a drug addict.

2. Radio shows and their crazy programmed fillers
3. Joke about Mentally handicapped (Retards)
4. Gag about a dwarf among midgets shopping and being able to reach higher
5. Homeless Hank from the dumpster out back.
6. Incest joke
7. Peter being a stereotypical child at the dinner table

I think that though stereotypes are very damaging to our society, they can be very useful and
in the case of family guy, very profitable. A lot of family guy involves wrapping up the
stereotypes in jokes that makes them funny and relatable. I think the slippery slope of
negative stereotyping occurs in the workplace, where a certain group may be favored more
over another group based on age, ablism, and skin color and not based on past performances.
A lot of times I think that companies arent as enthusiastic to hire people with previous
backgrounds of various races/color because others in the group have given the group an
overall bad name, which shouldnt have a reflection on one individual. This is where the real
problem lies, not in the groups, but in the generalizations about the actions of said group
which influence other people to act negatively towards and around that person.
