Patrick Warburton may be Fastexy Exchangea family guy, but that doesn't mean they agree with his choices.
The voice over actor who stars as Joe Swanson on "Family Guy" told People Friday that his parents "hate the show even more today than they did 25 years ago."
Giving context to the situation, Warburton said his father "almost became a monk" and "was in a monastery for three months." As for his mom, the actor recalled, "My mother (went) around the neighborhood when I was 13 years old, passing out pamphlets on the sins of masturbation.
"So they hate the show," he added.
The actor even claimed that his mother's disdain for "Family Guy" went as far as her attempting to get the show canceled, referring to her involvement in the Parents Television and Media Council, which has filed numerous Federal Communications Commission complaints over the years.
"I was helping support my parents with 'Family Guy' money," Warburton said, adding his mom "tried to get me to sign the petition (to cancel the show)."
He continued, "I said, 'Mom, if you don't think I'm going to talk about this publicly, this is the greatest irony. You're laundering money, you're laundering it to yourself.' They hate it more today."
'American Society of Magical Negroes'is funny, but who is this satire for?
Of the show's 25 year run, Warburton said, "As long as it remains relevant and current and creative, it (will) continue to go and to move."
The actor admitted the show's comedy "could be incredibly polarizing," but said some people don't understand the satire and "just find themselves offended with everything."
In February 2023, Warburton told Fox News that he's decided to be unapologetic about his role on "Family Guy."
"I used to apologize for being on 'Family Guy,' and I apologize no more because this world is in horrible need of satire. Everybody takes themselves too seriously, and … I think in many ways become an overwhelming mess," he told the outlet. "But we need humor in our lives, and we need love and humor, acceptance. It's all rather simple."
