i came to the realization that most (if not all) of the jokes said on family guy are completely irrelevant to the plot of the episode.
what the writers of the show do is just think of a bunch of jokes/funny mini-scenarios and just randomly insert them in episodes with lines like "remember the time I...."
i just thought i would share my opinion about this. If anything family guy should just air a condensed version of the show with just the jokes/scenarios and it would be just as funny.
i am a fan of the show but don't really give a lot of credit to the writers.

Its random comedy it doesn't have to make sense to be funny the plot is there so there is room to insert jokes such as remember when
its a great show and i still find it very funny. However your "observation" is hardly worth a topic as this has been blatantly stated since season one.

What they do is use other epesodes that didn't make the cut but had funny elements. Then they just think of a way to incorporate that bit into another episode.....
They explained this once during an episode or special or something.

+1
Personally for me, its the randomness of the characters action and speech that makes it hilarious for me.
I can't wait to see what the "Cleveland Show" will be like!

I guess you didn't see that South Park episode which gives an accurate deception of how Family Guy is written.
Family Guy used to have a plot (and was better when it did), but the last few seasons really have fallen into the "Just enough plot to string along every 80s obscure pop-reference gag possible" - kind of amusing now and then, but it's no longer on my "must watch" list.
