Here you go. Apparantly there were open auditions and she went and after a couple of call backs they gave her the gig.
I haven’t looked into it or anything but I think she does Robot Chicken because she’s pals with Seth Green from working on FG together. Seth Mcfarlane does a lot of RB too.
Frankly I don’t like Meg because Mila Kunis has a godawful voice. It’s so shrill and whiny that I cannot stand it when she talks.
I completely agree. I don’t think she is good with voice-overs; however, she is a good actress.
Thanks for the link. It looks like they were looking for someone that sounded more assertive than the first actress they used.
That’s another reason I don’t get why Lois is “hot”. Do you guys KNOW what Alex Borstein looks like? I always thought she was a dyke.
I’m surprised McFarlene allowed that. Seeing as Brian is basically him. :eek:
What’s the deal with Meg’s hat? When has a teenage girl ever worn a hat like that in the whole history of the world?
When a girl walks down the street, in a hat like that… you know that she’s not afraid of anything.
(Sorry - couldn’t resist saying the line! 
)
When she tried to join in on a family joke and Peter totally turns against her and gets angry and not funny angry.
But I have noticed after her stint in prison they’ve made her a tougher character who answers back more. And has a kind of slightly kinky sexual side to her. Also hate that huge diatribe Quagmire gave to Brian, considering that Quagmire is this demented pervert, I don’t think he had any right to say those things really and plus some of it wasn’t even fair or true.
Stewie has felt the harsh treatment of Peter and Lois aswell, remember when they were laughing and spitting on his drawing and Stewie overheard? Poor Stewie…
I frigging love Family Guy.
With a voice like that, she’d have to be hot. They were dead on in that episode where Fran Drescher played her on the in0universe TV version.
I kind of hate them all.
Allowed it? MacFarlane also voices Quagmire, so he performed it. I’ve always assumed he wrote it as well - I’d bet the whole “You date bimbos and make them read Catcher in the Rye” was based on an actual incident in Seth’s past.
*Do you feel me, Brian? Do you feel me inside of you? *
In a pinch, it can be used as a serviceable diaper.
Actually, part of the whole “let’s deliberately make Meg into a character everyone can hate” came about accidentally. If you watch the first season or two, there isn’t that much of the whole FG universe hating Meg/thinking she’s ugly. They just say she’s “plain,” and in fact, there are a few times when Lois and Peter stand by her and defend her.
But the audience hated her because she had to play the “straight man” to literally everyone else on the show. In general, even though you usually need a straight man, but it comes with the acknowledgment that they probably won’t be the most well-liked character…but Meg went from “least well-liked” to “flat-out hated” by the audience. Then, the FG writers realized that with a cartoon as wacky as theirs, they didn’t need a straight man, so they just rolled with the Meg-hate and turned her into the FG punching bag.
But does the Family Guy audience really hate Meg? The idea that everybody in the whole world hates her is something the writers are pushing, but I’m not convinced it really reflects what the audience thought of her. I know I’ve never hated her, and I probably would enjoy the show more if they weren’t going so overboard with being cruel to her. Or maybe I’m just contrarian.
The buttmonkeyification of Joe Swanson is something else that bothers me about Family Guy. At first he was a hero, and then an ordinary guy who happens to be a paraplegic cop. He was a good character then. But I think the writers decided that it’d be “edgy” to subvert the idea that we should see handicapped people as individuals, and be nice to them, so now he’s a sad little man and all the jokes about him centre on the fact that he cannot satisfy his wife because he’s paralysed. It makes me uncomfortable.
I realize I’m stepping in a little late, but this is crude and inappropriate. Don’t do it again.
How is it crude and inappropriate if lesbians call themselves, that? :eek:
I really don’t care for mods being on back after the fact, because some cry baby started a thread over it. If someone was a lesbian and had a problem with it, I’d really bad. I’m so SICK of Dopers telling everyone what OTHERS find offensive and don’t.
Your post was one I referenced in the other thread, and I am a lesbian. It wasn’t just that you used the word dyke - and you know full well that just because lesbians use it doesn’t mean it’s OK for everyone - but you used it as a byword for ugly. It’s pretty hard to claim that wasn’t intended to be offensive.
BTW, the reason I didn’t bring it up on the thread was because I’d just been reading rather than posting, and didn’t want to butt in just for this sidetrack. But then when you decide to defend your bigotry and claim that no real lesbians were bothered at all, it seems fair enough to post after all.
The Meg hatred did get a bit one-trick after a while. It would have been funnier if they’d at least occasionally had the family be nice to Meg, so that you weren’t sure what was going to happen.
I fully endorse this event or product. She is just ridiculously hot.
Joe
