I love when celebrities don’t get mad and sit back and laugh at themselves
I do too it's great
I’m also a special needs person not downseydrome but adhd and I can personally attest to the fact of using a disabled actress for this
At least they know when to take a joke.
@Sut Nack dude everyone makes fun of everyone and the point of an adult comedy in the style of family guy is to make edgy jokes, granted it’s all edge and no point
There are actually celebrities who are fans of Family Guy, such as Patrick Stewart and Liam Neeson.
It’s good to see some celebrities can still take a joke
Yes except Tom Cruise he can’t take a joke

TY, so much extra jabbering
(James Woods) It's not a proper James Woods parody unless it references Videodrome. Long live the new flesh!
4:18 I love how Robbie Krieger doesn't deny doing peyote in the desert........just NOT AS A FOURSOME
James Woods: “Ooh, a piece of candy!” Over several times he said that. LOL
He was great as Hades.
Now I'm hearing Hades saying ooh a piece of candy
And on two separate occassions too.
He was good on The Simpsons too when he worked at the Quik-E Mart.
I'm the 1000th like
Liam Neeson! He should have been #1 spot. Not only was he parodied, he later guest-starred /and/ got a whole movie with MacFarlane out of it.
I agree. He also did a cameo on an episode of The Orville.
@@russ7868 oh that's right I almost forgot about that!!!! LOL
And kicked Peter's ass🤣🤣🤣
@@russ7868 he also featured in Atlanta (kind of) joking about his racial controversy
100% #1 should have been Neeson!!!
instead of explaining the reaction, just show it
This Chanel ALWAYS does this... way too much talking
Yeah I can’t watch this. Too drawn out and too much explaining. Just show the clip and the reaction.
Brooo
Good advice.
Couldn't stop laughing at the Gary Busey parody. The fact that he voiced himself is priceless
How we doing today Gary Busey??🤣🤣🤣 me too🤣🤣🤣
Was this removed from the video?
The "It's not William it's Willem" joke always gets me
Especially since Joe's technically right
It's Willem all right...
Actually William is Willem’s Real Name
Nah Willem DeCrip
Heh heh AlRiGht
How did Liam Neeson not end up as #1? He legitimately signed on to A Million Ways To Die In The West and wanted to keep his Irish accent because of a Family Guy joke.
Lol he is Irish. He didn't need to keep anything. Thats his voice
@@Bonesaw_McGraw His wording, not mine.
Because Trix are for kids
@@bengilhooly3616 I won't forget what you've done for me here today.
Hes not Irish. Northern Ireland is completely different from Ireland
I live with the philosophy my dad taught 11 children: "You have no business laughing at others if you can't laugh at yourself." This is a direct quote from him.
Pops is a wise man. Also a tough one if he can raise 11 kids.
I agree!
That’s the greatest quote of all time.
11 kids, damn. Guess he didnt have a tv....
if you laugh at your own flaw then why don't you get rid of it? It doesn't make sense
Honestly, renaming the school to Adam West high is a really nice way for the show writers to pay homage to one of the greats.
Seth McFarlane is such a mature and classy man and yet he also created what’s sometimes the most immature and low brow show on television. It’s amazing.
Yeah. A good contrast.
And then went on to create The Orville, which is sadly now higher-brow than Star Trek.
@@NeoTechni That's where everything comes together to prove my point.
The duality of Men
Nah, James Woods is right, Family Guy became another snowflake show.
Adam West will always be the best & longest used Celebrity on Family Guy.
not anymore he's dead

Total respect to James Woods for first being happy to mock himself, and second to turn down work based on his principles!

A scene with Willem Dafoe was hilariously creepy.
Willem dafoes the best
Juuust checkin
It only get creepier if your green goblin
Hell yeah bitch!
@@hattanalshutaifi4587 😱
Willem Defoe being all awesome and epic.
Willem Defoe is a very underrated actor in my opinion. He plays all of his roles extremely well.
Drip man dafoe
@@hawk66100 extremely underrated
He's a treasure
The Alyssa Milano bit was by far the best. She had a good sense of humor. Carol Burnett filing a lawsuit is disappointing, I thought she was better than that.
I love the Alyssa Milano one. That was back when she relevant and cool before getting into politics and unintentionally showing the world how much of an idiot she really is.
Even more surprising as Alyssa Milano is an awful, awful human being
Yup she us a trash bucket
😮The Sarah Palin joke did go to far. I see what they were trying to do, but take the shot at Palin, don't involve one of her children's medical condition in it. And I don't care the actress voicing also has DS, take the shot at the parent and not in love the child.
I love when celebs get mad over facts about themselves. Carol actually sued...jesus christ. I'm so damn glad that parody law won. She should know that law inside and out.
She was looking for easy money.
She needed the money
I'd be interested to know how Tom Cruise reacted to the "Tiny Tom Cruise" bit
Propably pissed off and suing someone. He could not handle his caricatures on South Park and wanted the episode banned
Tom and Seth appeared together in a Graham Norton episode and Cruise said he loved Family Guy and he and Seth McFarlane were easy togther. So no hard feelings probably.
Yeah, that'll be interesting 😅
Lol, the gay thoughts scene or his wife escaping after the ankle monitor is deactivated, with her releasing a cage of men in speedos.
I got to give it to Alyssa, though. To be *PART* of the gag, you *REALLY* have to have a sense of humor about yourself and she clearly does
I’ve always loved that part
It's so great. Literally has her lawyer sitting in her living room while she watches TV.
Same. I may not be a big fan of hers, but props where they are due. It's always nice to see someone with a sense of humor, especially when it's from someone you wouldn't expect.
those Buffalo farts are flashy🤗
She was probably the first celeb to be photoshopped onto a porn stars body. So much so it traumatized her brother.
Peter was totally in the right pummeling Jimmy Fallon.
I agree-Fallon is insufferable.
Marlee Matlin is an inspiration!! "Want to learn some sign language?" Brilliant!!! 🤣🤣🤣🧡🧡
You can tell how secure someone is with themselves when a show makes fun of them.
👍...........like how much they love/funny not serious themselves and others.....it's just tell that feeling
You can tell a show’s politics by their choice of targets.
@@humphreygruntwhistle3946 not really, you can however tell a targets politics by their reaction of being made fun of.
@@MaFo82💀
It’s hilarious! I’m glad most of them didn’t take themselves too seriously.
I'm also glad those that did take themselves too seriously were knocked down a couple pegs due to their lack of a sense of humor. No sense of humor? *SUFFER!* Then go and whine in your corner while the rest of us enjoy our lack of having a thin skin compounded by a gigantic head (metaphorically speaking)... while making fun of you for having both and not laughing about it. As my so-called dad always said, "F^ck them if they can't take a joke."

i'm sure Carol Burnett put a few people through the wringer in her tv shows. The sketches often parodied real people in the news at that time.
I’m only now realizing how harsh some of family guy’s jokes can be 😭🤣 I love it!!
But what's funny about James Woods is the fact he has actually portrayed himself on Family Guy and The Simpsons
Then he became humourless.
@@marks.3303 nah I mean that episode he’s referring to was one of the worst rated episodes in a while, it really wasn't funny if you were a viewer the show was alienating
@@orangecayman520 which episode was it?
Fun fact - Willem Dafoe’s name is actually William. He changed it cause he thought Willem was a better name yo.
Yeah his dads name is William as well and his mom needed to call him something different and he didnt want to be Bill
@@2CanSam1000 she couldn't have thought of Will and William? 😏😂
@@2CanSam1000 Bill Dafoe just doesn't sound right haha
Not wanting to be called William Jr. or Billy, he experimented with different nicknames until a friend started calling him Willem, and it stuck
Willem is the Dutch version. Don't know if he has any Dutch origins.
Minnie Driver's cutaway should have been included. It still ranks as one that makes me laugh out loud (her head takes up the whole camera frame).
What about Liam neeson, his kids showed him the clip where he’s an Irish cowboy, then later was approached by Seth macfarlane for the role of million ways to die in the west, and he told Seth that he’d only take the role if he could do it in an Irish accent
Hes not Irish. Northern Ireland isn't Ireland
@@andrewjoyce9038 Not the sharpest tool in the shed are we?
@@andrewjoyce9038 u on drugs
Northern ireland is not part of the republic of Ireland. Damn your all dumb for trying to call this fella out.
@@andrewjoyce9038 good bait.
That Sarah Palin one, that’s kinda understandable why she responded that way. That episode really is only for people who can take dark humor.
What makes it funnier is the actress with down syndrome basically shut down Sarah Palin and said I dont need you to defend me.
It's pretty funny coming from a mother who apparently called her own son "ya little retard." Her protest was clearly a stunt to make it appear that she had empathy and cared about somebody besides herself.
@@xBloodxFangx I think she was just trying not to draw attention to the fact she’s pissed because the made the joke about her child, and instead of sounding like a pissed off mum, wanted to come across as someone who is pissed odd with how they depicted Down syndrome or sth Not that she doesn’t give a shit about the Down syndrome community
@@xBloodxFangx Well the actress got paid so it's obvious she'd say that.
@@rabbitseason7537 well weither she got paid or not she doesnt get paid until she does it so she mustve liked it before doing it
That Willem DaFoe took it so well was awesome! Lol.
That nose joke was funny as hell
I think Liam Neeson should have been here, when seth mcfarlane ask him to play the villain in "a million ways to die in the west", he agreed with the condition of using his native accent, just because family Guy made a bit about how absurd that would be
To be fair he’s always sounded Irish even if he’s trying a different accent he sounds Irish .
Shame they didn't let Liam do more with his improvisational Comedy skills
Loved the Alyssa Milano one. Also, Quagmire had a song in one episode where he sings how he knew she would be hot when she was 9, which was just so hilariously creepy
Oh wow
I will rejoice the day Family Guy kills off Quagmire
Or how about just honest, though I suppose honesty wouldn't fly in the fakest country on the face of the Earth.
please make the world a better place lukie baby
The Alyssa Milano one aged like fine wine.
I absolutely loved the Alyssa Milano bit. And it's even more amazing that Ms. Milano was in on it and was okay with it. I would love to know how that conversation played out. Like ' Hey, we had an idea about this joke about you and we'd like to know if you were okay with it and even play along?' And Milano was just like 'Hell, yeah!' .
I actually really like Adrian Brody movies. Hes a good actor
But his movies are snooze-fests and he lacks screen presence. Good actor, but zero charisma.
Some of the best movies are from him ! The pianist is a masterpiece! He's a great actor
I'm guessing you didnt watch series 4 of Peaky Blinders... he basically just did bad impressions of Brando/Pacino/Gandalfini for several episodes. It was awful
Hes a nepotism baby. Born to 2 extremely wealthy jews, descendent of vatican linked aristocrats on one side, rich bankers and artists etc. Explains the nose and snobbiness
James Woods being in those episodes for free, is next level.
I don't think he should've been mad about the conservatives jokes. He make fun of Liberals too lol Hell nobody is safe.
@@akeembrown7945 eh family guy has really gone downhill lately, It was always political but fairly so, its just far left crap now. I don’t blame him for not wanting to be apart of sjw stuff
@@TazyBaby Really? It hasn't been political as it used to be. I could ne wrong. The Donald Trump episode was probably the most its been but thats it.
@@akeembrown7945 I saw a couple new ones that were and haven’t seen many of the other new ones so honestly I’m taking other peoples word for the rest
@@TazyBaby Pretty sure it's not otherwise Quagmire wouldn't be one of the recurring characters considering he's a: rapist, necrophiliac, and a pedophile. You're overreacting.
Now this is good content. Happy to keep watching after a good 10 years WatchMojo. Keep going.

James Woods being a reoccurring character is amazing
It's the best when celebrities can go along with the joke and poke fun at themselves.
"Damm Nature..You Scary" Al Roker 👍🏽🤣
I honestly want to know John Goodman 's reaction to Family Guy constantly taking shots at him.
James Woods is also one of my favorites. He showed true talent in the movie by Coppola, "Once upon a time in America". Always loved a good villain with a clear conscience! ❤
“I know you can’t hear them but you gotta feel them slapping out of there “😂😂😂
Carol Burnett: *sues Family Guy* Family Guy: *beats up Jimmy Fallon for trying to be like Burnett*
Tiny Tom cruise for sure " Hello Stewie " he looked as if he would die any moment with a heart attack
You forgot Dan Rather laughing at the clip of him whistling like a tea kettle and being moved to a neighboring sea by a producer.
Cracked up pretty hard at the "not as a foursome, no." line. I wonder if they weren't all there, or just didn't all take the same stuff.
He probably forgot. He's looking pretty grizzled.

The Gary Busey cutaway joke was one of the funniest that still makes me laugh now!
Tom cruise, liam neeson, justin bieber, lindsay lohan, will smith, (conway twitty when he was alive), taylor swift, Christina Aguilera, .. there were so many other celebrities i would rather love to see the reaction to
The Will Smith one was so brief. Considering he slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars for making a harmless joke about his wife I wouldn’t be surprised if he took offense to the cutaway gag of him.
@@thedestroyer2alltrolls411 lol not sure, why would he react offended by a harmless scene? And to be honest, u can see that he first Laughed about the jada joke, he knew it was fun.. im pretty sure Jada made him go do that, because she didnt even reacted surprised while he walked up to the stage.. Anyways, ive never heard anything bad Or bad news about will smith all my life.. soo whatever 😃
@@maggyliciousss3751 Careful. Do not blindly idolize a celeb.
@@thedestroyer2alltrolls411 lol dont worry i dont.. We all dont know whats goin in behind closed doors
*I heard Liam Neeson's casting in MacFarlane's "A Million Ways to Die in the West" came about due to "Family Guy's" cutaway about Liam Neeson as cowboy.*
“We doing a new secret handshake now?”😂
0:37 imagine not knowing anything about Spiderman and then hearing this.
"Willem Dafoe under my bed" is still one of my absolute favorite jokes from Family Guy. my number one though is "your excuses are lamer than FDR's legs." *GASP* "...too soon?"
Gal Gadot took that L with grace, and managed to make herself seem likeable at the end.
She has to. Gadot is a French name pronounced Gadough as the "t" is silent.
@@bunzeebear2973 Gal Gadot’s name is Israeli, which she also is, and the T is not silent. You do pronounce it when saying her name. This comment is not meant to be aggressive in any way-just educational😁😁
Even if she didn't take the joke with grace, I'd still let her sit on my face.
True
No she didn't
James Woods is a champ for making fun of himself this way FOR OVER 15 YEARS...
Sylvester Stallone found it funny when Family Guy referenced Rocky a few times
I saw Marlee Matlin on the Larry Sanders show. Her and Brook Shields trying to get Larry out of a locked wardrobe room was fantastic! 😂
Suggestion: Top 20 most intelligent cartoon characters in 2000s & 2010s.
I upvote this suggestion.
Rick sanchez is proudly number 1
Good news everyone! -The professor
I wouldn't say most intelligent but whatever it used to be it hasn't been that way for the last 15 years
Love celebs who don't take themselves too seriously. However when they get pissed its comedy gold.
We would all love to see Tom Cruise's reaction of him being portrayed on FAMILY GUY and SOUTH PARK.
I know Cruise hates South Park.
He tried to sue South Park and they just continued to roast him
Tiny tom cruise!😂
"Gal Gah-DOTE" 😂 Also, "vaccines" lmao
I'm fairly certain Marlene Maitland has never even heard Alex Borstein's impression of her.
The ones that made me laugh and go, "Oh man, that's bad." The show with Brittany Spears and the baby... and Michael J. Fox as Zorro. So good... but so bad. Lol
I have a family member with Parkinson's. Whoever wrote that joke about Michael J Fox can burn in hell
Good thing there's a narrator letting me know exactly what I'm about to see and then the recap right after
I was hoping they would have Molly Ringwald's reaction when the Grim Reaper tells her "I'll be back later for your career".
Having a decent representative of who you are on TV is piling it on and making it that much more difficult I would actually say it's nice to have someone like you in the shows that you love to watch
The celebrities should be proud that the writers consider them to be relevant. It's great when we can laugh at ourselves.
Sarah had the right to be upset, she doesn’t “not have a sense of humor” she has a son with a birth deficiency and it can’t be easy for her.
the bit about sarah palins kid made my day honestly.
I Like how you guys post pretty much everyday
I was always curious about how the celebrities reacted to there appearances on Family Guy
james woods and peter have such a great rivalry
4:18 I love how Robby Krieger doesn't deny doing peyote, just NOT AS A FOURSOME 🤣🤣
James woods OHH ITS A PIECE CANDY skit always had me rolling but no Betty White 😭
It’s nice to celebs are down to earth and can laugh at themselves along with us. Some take it too personally and get upset over a joke.
SnoelleFlake - Jokes are subjective though. Most of these are witty impersonations but there are times Family Guy goes too far. Also there is a difference between a witty parody and a lazy ad hominen attack. The Renee Zellweger ones for instance are aimed at her appearance not her persona.
I love Mr. Dafoe! He learned to ride a motorcycle for a role once, even though he had no previous experience. Brave man! I really like motorbikes but I am scared shitless!😂
Frakkin awesome hilarious..made my day..thanks!! \m/
I never understood why another comedian like Carol Burnett would take offense. The show brings in a new generation of people who will view your work.
Money
Because she comes from a different era. One where one of her likeness is not in a room full of sex dolls.
@darrinrigotti88 I mean, I can understand as she probably wants no association with something that's seen as raunchy if it goes against her image but I felt she exaggerated to where it made her look petty
I can agree with that.@@saulthechicanootaku
@darrinrigotti88 lol y'all spending the time philosophizing about the answer is hilarious. Most people sue for idiotic reasons when they want money. That's it. 😂
It's a sad day in the world when comedians can't laugh at a joke that others made of them. You would think they would understand the world of comedy
Especially Carol Burnett.. I never associated her with a washer woman, there have been so many that have cleaned floors.
@@bunzeebear2973 I don't think you understand what the washer woman was. That's something from her show from the 70s. She wasn't angry they depicted her as a woman mopping the floor. She sued for unauthorized use of her cleaning woman character.
Will Smith laughing from the corner 😂
MAKING FUN OF SPECIAL NEEDS PEOPLE IS NOT FUCKING FUNNY
@@legops1hagrid927 who the fuck said anything about ppl with special needs. No one in this thread brought that up
I've *always* wanted to see this happen since Family Guy first came out. I wish they'd do some old name drops too like Beverly D'angelo. The Gina Davis tooth-to-gum-ratio. Chevy Chase.. oh and Randy Newman "sittin there singin' about what he sees" there's so many.
nobody today would know who they are, heck... i'm a 90's kid and they are vague to me too, so eh...
Show me... potato salad!
I just remembered Jack Palance, who I put in a similar category with Willem Dafoe. He played creepy parts, but was one of the nicest men ever. So I bet is Mr. Dafoe.
The Adrien Brody one is hilarious ☠️
I know, right?!
In Jim Carrey's show "Joking" there is a scene where they take a jab at how "The Sopranos" ended.
What about Alan Rickman repeatedly calling his answering machine 🤣 Hello, Alan Rickman, this is Alan Rickman...🤣🤣🤣💀
Imagine if there was a G.I. Jane parody
The Alyssa Milano part was golden!
It aged like fine wine!
If you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at glad to see Celebrities know and embrace this mentality
Actually Joe (Patrick Warburton) is correct Willem Dafoe. Willen's 1st name is William. Willem is his stage name
Most of them are witty parodies and I agree it is healthy to laugh at oneself Some are just lazy ad hominen attacks on appearance though - like the Renee Zellweger ones
That sock puppet had me dying
8:18 I know Seth was voice of Brian but I'm still mindblown that he sound like Brian.
and Ted
Nobody does celebs/Hollyweird like Family Guy, epic bits.
I didn't realise Family Guy loved the big pharma narrative so much. First Elmo, now Stewie.
I love Willem Dafoe, such a brilliant actor.
Me too.
