Why did Family Guy which is such a creative show with unique characters create such a stupid character like Mort Goldman? It's just Woody Allen, I mean we get it....it just isn't an original idea..I was disappointed when this character appeared. It was fine when his son was flirting with Meg, the son character doesn't bother me.
Anyone else think that Mort Goldman was kind of a let down in comparison to the earlier characters like Joe, Quagmire, and Cleveland?

I think his character is there just to be irritating and he does his job well. hehe :)

He does have one of the funniest Family Guy moments: Brian sniffing the other dog's backside, and then claiming that he thought it smelled likecookies. Mort gets down for a sniff "Does it it really smell like cookies? Argh! She farted and it went down my throat!"
it was a cool character but if you are not a Jerky Boys fan you wouldn't like it since it's Johnny B doing the shoes and glasses guy (Sol) from the cd's.

Hmmm, didn't realise he was doing the voice. I used to listen to those albums endlessly many, many years ago. The name in question is "Sol Rosenburg", and much of his demeanor was having these problems with communication, heath and life.

I found that part stupid. u_u
No way! For the amount of on-screen time Mort gets, he's hilarious. The scene that sticks out in my mind is when he talks about his profession in front of the class. And no, I don't think he's really modeled after Woody Allen. He's just a geeky dad..and Woody Allen happens to be geeky too, but he's more neurotic really.

I agree...Mort's irritating, and his overly detailed descriptions of his health problems or others can be cringe-worthy, but he's still amusing at the same time, IMO.

Yeah. I didn't like him either. Just wasn't a funny character to me

Let me put it this way...he's the only character whose scenes have me reacing for the remote with the fast forward button. (Heh, but I'm frequently rewinding scenes with Quagmire...and the one where he takes Chris to the nudie bar? The part where his "divining rod" shows the way to go? Absolutely classic in slo mo. Kudos to the animators.)
Mort is the father, no? If so, he's in no way formulated after Woddy Allen so far as I can see, save maybe some similarities in appearance. He's supposed to be Sol from the Jerkey Boys, no question about it. If you listen to their early stuff that circulated about 10-12 years ago, Mort is a direct ripoff of much of the dialogue which is what I find so hilarious. Far more creative than ripping off Woody, AFAIC...

Mort has had some funny scenes but far and away for me the least funny or at least the character not given that many funny bits is Chris. Bad luck or intentional?
The funniest scene with Chris for me is When Peter is teaching him how to get out of a check, and he starts beating that guy to death with the wine bottle, cracks me up everytime.
