I was just finishing watching all of the Family Guy episodes and there is a CLEAR distinction between the theme song starting in season 3. 'effin cry became laugh and cry. And you can't tell me you can't hear the difference. It is so obviously clear...it's laugh and cry at the end, but it didn't start that way.

Well, aren't you "captain obvious". No one said there wasnt a difference, but what they agreed upon was that it was never "effin cry", just "laugh and cry" less enunciated.

This is like the Family Guy group's exclusive troll material. We should feel special...or something.

I'd like to argue with you, but anyone who can't use the correct version of your/you're isn't worth dealing with.

Anyway I just had to do it. I mean the difference was so clear in my mind it hurt my head to think people couldn't hear it.

What people? Can you recall anyone *ever* claiming they couldn't hear any difference? The fact that the line is different isn't the issue. The point is it was changed from "laugh and cry" to "laugh and cry". The second version is simply clearer.
What? I'm saying it's troll material because I know that.... I hope you meant to respond to ZForce's post because you otherwise you totally missed what I said.

OH crap! I remember always thinking it was Effin cry. Then one day it said Laugh and Cry and I thought I just misunderstood it before. This makes more sense.

Effin is the rated G way of saying "F*cking".
"The things that make you F*cking cry"
It is a child saying vulgarity, innocent offensiveness, which represented the show as a whole.
Yeah we all know that. That's why it doesn't make sense.
Lucky there's a man who positively can do all the things that make us f*cking cry?
Take a seat, please.
"Peter Griffen" wrote in message news:5Cueb.18734$[email]...
You left out the most important part. The rest of the family sings "Lucky there's a man who positively can do, all the things that make us"
THEN it goes to Stewie who is put on the spot, and given his hatred for the family and the situation he's just put in says "Effin Cry.".
Stewie doesn't say that whole line, just the last two words. It is in his character and it makes perfect sense to reflect the show.
You can put your hand down now.

Then why does the creator of the show disagree with this?
Oh, that's right, because obviously you have thought it out so well in your fantasy world that even the creator of the show has no bearing. It's your fantasy, remember?

I own all the DVDs. On which one does the creator say in a commentary that it has always been laugh and cry? I'm not denying its possible, but I like to see the proof for myself. My ears tell me "effin" cry, but i'll eat my words if its there no problem.
(Also I like poking fun at Bao H. because given his posts, he's kinda pathetic. A real dorkus maximus if you saw Gladiator, so I'm also just poking fun at him. Not to be taken too seriously)

This should really be a sticky post in this newsgroup but that's impossible.
In the commentary for Fifteen Minutes of Shame, right after the infamous part, the writer Steve Callaghan and Seth MacFarlane discuss:
Steve: Oh and there's the famous "effin' cry" or "laugh and cry." Seth: Right, which is, we've established that. People think it's "effin' cry," it's actually "laugh and cry." Steve: I'm sure you've said that 8 times by now. Seth: Yeah.
It was never argued that it doesn't sound like effin'...just that it isn't. Since you don't seem to be a total dick, I won't rub it in too hard but please eat your words. :)

Hey, call me whatever you want. Doesn't mean it's true, but it's your right. I find it pretty funny that you continually label me as a closeted homosexual who can't admit he wants to have sex with other men while *you* are the one who brought up the topic of homosexuality, and now Gladiator. I guess you can't get those muscled lugs out of your mind, eh?

I was trying to play on your level, but unfortuantly something that low went way above your head.
Good theory. Unfortunatley, it conficts with the facts. McFarlane himself has repeatedly said Stewie's line was always "laugh and cry". It was re-recorded for the 3rd season simply to make it more clearer.
It never was "F'n cry".
"I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me" - General George S. Patton.
I know "effin'" is the less vulgar way of saying "fucking". I was saying that it isn't in the theme song, because it wouldn't make sense.

Still trying to claim that men are twats so you don't have to admit your gay when you want to have sex with them. Somethings never change.
Nope, I don't call men twats. I call twats twats.
I would have no problem admitting I were gay if I were. It would seem that you are the one with the homosexual issues since I never brought up the topic.
"Bao H. Lammy" wrote in message news:[email]...
So you are homosexual AND delusional. What a sad combination.
You called me a twat because you wanted to have sex with me without admiting that you are gay. And still you deny it. Poor little guy.
Perhaps in the future if you answer peoples questions and responses in an intelligent and adult manner, you wouldn't have to wade through this kind of fanboy crap.
Yes, it is. Again, I am not homosexual, so I have no idea why you brought up the topic. And is there something "sad" with being homosexual? Sounds like you really have some issues.
Is that what you're calling it now?
I generally do answer questions straightforwardly and congenially. But if someone wants to come in and not have the common sense to read some previous threads (as this one repeats incessantly), too bad. Dorks that keep bringing up this topic deserve no niceties. By your posts, I can only assume that you either didn't read the previous threads before mouthing off or else you did and you're a troll. Neither way warrants any polite answers.

Yes, they did change the music in the third season to emphasize "laugh and cry".
The interesting thing is how many times Seth and the guys mention this in various DVD commentaries in a joking manner. It's almost like they are sending a message that "ya, we did slip a little something past the Fox standards department".....
Of course this subject has been beaten to death and the truth is that we will never know. :-)
Slip what pass the standards department, exactly? "Effin'?" If so, you've got to be kidding. Effin' is prude-talk as it is. You hear bitch, crap, ass, hell, damn, whore, etc. (and sometimes even shit) on U.S. prime time broadcast TV all the time. Why worry about or censor an already cleaned up version of "fuckin'" then? Why censor effin' but yet show:
1) A bound and gagged teen cheerleader in closet discovered by Quagmire, who gleefully exclaims, "Dear Diary...Jackpot!" 2) Peter breastfeeding Stewie 3) Peter licking his own nipple 4) All the pedophile innuendo 5) a plethora of racier content than "effin'"
We do know. Some choose to ignore copious evidence.
