Yes. It'd be awesome and would show that as usual Family Guy has more guts than Sony and theater companies.

Yeah, South Park would do this better. As SP itself pointed out, most FG jokes aren't even relevant to the plot of the episode.

The plot of any given Family Guy episode is a thin veneer designed to loosely pull together disparate observations on something else. Like an Ozu film, except Ozu's veneer was in the service of observations that were actually worth making.

Both Family Guy and South Park should, as well as SNL, every late night talk show, Youtube channels like Collegehumor and Cracked, etc.  Ideally have at least one Kim Jong-un sketch every few days for the next several months.

WTF is wrong with you? You like Family Guy but don't like South Park? You have the worst taste in the world.

Family Guy is a hysterical show with a strong progressive message while South Park is just mind-numbing unfunny, right-wing filth. Pretty simple.

Family Guy isn't hysterical, it's arrogant, pompous ,sadistic, and worst of all, vulgar without a point. Which makes it's textbook liberal (not progressive) It's everything Quagmire told Brian in one of the better episodes, and even that was screwed up because he was the last character that should be talking.

If the FG writers got their hands on that material, they'd find some way to just screw it all up.


South Park is the same as Family Guy except libertarian, less dependent on random jokes, and there's always a darned point,  and it's more audacious, which inherently is funnier. Even if that point is most of the time wrong.


Trey Parker has already lambasted North Korea before in Team America, so he could do it again and at least get something right.


Ultimately, we should leave it to someone like Mel Brooks, only something like the in The Producers play "Springtime for Hitler" could actually pull it off for sure.
