Would you be offended by your workplace showing Family Guy on the break room TV?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Mine is right now and it's awesome.

[White Trash]

It's a bit sophomoric. But I suppose it depends on the working environment. Back when I bagged groceries, sure. But in an upscale office? I don't think so.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I guess I wouldn't care.

[This account no longer in use.]

Yes, but only because of the show's quality.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Very much so.

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

Offended that Germany/France is not on every tv right now? Yes I am. The Nazis must be stopped

Enjoy

[RFayette]

Very much so.

Why?  It's a great show, just like South Park (sorry BRTD).

[Mr. Smith]

Considering the only things ever on are sports and dumb MTV videos on silent? Absolutely not.

FG may be sh*&y, but it'd be a change from MTV videos...least there'd be some visual gags, and subtitles are easy enough to ignore.

[Goldwater]

I guess I wouldn't care.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Very much so.

I hope you wouldn't be one of those whiner types who'd complain to HR and get it no longer shown and ruin it for everyone.

(Highly doubt that'll happen here thankfully.)

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I'd be very annoyed, but not offended.

[Intell]

Not a fan of the show,so yes probably.

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

I'd be very annoyed, but not offended.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

I'd be very annoyed, but not offended.

This.  I'd also change the channel, tbh.

My workplace break room airs Fox and Friends.  Family Guy would be an improvement.

[ElectionsGuy]

I would enjoy it.

It's playing via a connected computer, playing DVDs and downloaded episodes. So you can only do something like that if you have access to the computer which is not in the break room. Not possible!

The break room where I work has this thing called a remote that lets you change the channel just by pushing a button.

OK but mine doesn't. And leaving a remote out for the TV is just asking for it to be lost within a week in a public place like that.

Look, it should be pretty obvious that letting employees manage the TV themselves is just asking for it to have the connection lost without knowing how to get it put back up. This way only HR can change it, which prevents that from occuring.

This is purely anecdotal, but I find it interesting the people at my work who are most fond of Family Guy besides me seem to be Hmong women. Like they'll crowd around the TV when it's playing and laugh hysterically while having side conversations in Hmong. Even despite, well probably in part because of the Asian stereotype jokes. Although to be fair this sort of thing isn't all that uncommon, it's really only extreme Tumblr types who assume that anyone who's a member of a minority group must be very offended and couldn't possibly like anything that makes jokes playing off stereotypes of that group.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

I'd be offended by the idea of a break room TV. Seriously, must we have boob tubes shoved down our faces in all public places? It was just marginally acceptable in the era before people could use their own personal electronics to feed their video addictions. Fight Big Brother, eliminate telescreens from our public places!

[Antonio the Sixth]

Very much so.

Oh God, of course not. I'm not that socially inept.
