00:00Is Matt Damon coming?
00:01No, but he knows about all of us.
00:03He's very aware of what's going on here, you see.
00:07Welcome to WatchMojo.
00:09And today we're exploring our picks for the most shocking times
00:12when Family Guy peered into a controversy crystal ball
00:15and seemingly hinted towards a famous face's true, awful behavior
00:19before it was publicly known.
00:21I always wanted to be an astronaut like Lance Armstrong.
00:24It's Neil Armstrong.
00:26He lied about his name too?
00:27Mel Gibson.
00:30In 2005, Family Guy aired the episode North by North Quahog,
00:35which featured a character based on Gibson.
00:37The park Barrington is already attracting some big names,
00:41such as Christianity enthusiast Mel Gibson,
00:44who has his own room on permanent reserve.
00:47A room which he barely uses.
00:50To begin with, Peter and Lois discovered the trailer
00:52for the sequel to The Passion of the Christ,
00:54which the actor directed and soon stole the film.
00:58With a real-life sequel confirmed for a future release,
01:01that's not the only time art imitates life.
01:04Desperate to get the movie back,
01:06Gibson demonstrated unhinged behavior by using a firearm
01:10and employing priests to help kidnap Lois.
01:13What are you gonna do to me?
01:14What are you gonna do to me?
01:16As soon as your husband gives me what I want,
01:18you're free to go.
01:19In 2006, Gibson's real-life reputation unraveled
01:23when he was recorded uttering anti-Semitic phrases
01:26when he was arrested for a DUI.
01:29He continued his fall from grace by threatening his ex-partner,
01:32then pleading no contest to a battery charge against her.
01:35There's another audio recording which has now been made public,
01:39reportedly of him and his former girlfriend,
01:41and it is filled with threats of violence against her.
01:43Woody Allen.
01:44In the early days of Family Guy,
01:46the show liked to parody Allen's films and characters.
01:50Interestingly, however,
01:51I did run into Chris again.
01:52It was on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
01:55He was with another dad.
01:56I was with another son.
01:57But it was nice reminiscing about old times.
02:00For you kids watching,
02:01this is a reference to a Woody Allen movie.
02:03He also married one of his children.
02:05They would occasionally stretch the mockery
02:07to a more uncomfortable place
02:09when they regularly mentioned his marriage
02:11to Soon-Yi Previn,
02:12his former stepchild,
02:14who was adopted by Allen's ex-partner,
02:16Mia Farrow.
02:17Usually, it was a brief mention,
02:19such as referring to Previn as Allen's daughter-wife.
02:23Listen, me and the other playwrights
02:24are going out to have drinks
02:25with Woody Allen and his daughter-wife.
02:26You want to come?
02:28All right.
02:29We can just sit here for a while.
02:31While there had been accusations
02:33that Allen had assaulted Dylan Farrow
02:35and groomed Previn for years,
02:37it really came to light in 2016,
02:39when Ronan Farrow released a column
02:41that compared Bill Cosby's allegations
02:43to Allen's alleged behavior against Dylan.
02:47While the multi-Oscar-winning director
02:48has denied the allegations,
02:50his reputation hasn't recovered.
02:52The drama first played out on tabloids
02:54in the early 90s,
02:56but ultimately,
02:56Woody Allen was never charged with a crime.
02:59Brett Ratner.
03:00In 2012,
03:02Family Guy aired the episode
03:03Lego My Meggo,
03:04which parodied Taken
03:06as Meg is kidnapped in Europe.
03:07Oh my God, Dad.
03:09Where are they going to take me?
03:10I'm so scared.
03:12Meg?
03:14Meg?
03:14With Brian and Stewie
03:15on the case to get their sister back,
03:17the latter goes undercover
03:18as a young girl
03:19in an auction for human traffickers.
03:22As Stewie danced,
03:23the announcer stated
03:24that Ratner had bid $75,000.
03:27I have $75,000.
03:29Thank you, Brett Ratner.
03:31The joke was forgotten over time,
03:32but when 2017 came around,
03:35hindsight made it look vastly darker.
03:38That year,
03:39as part of the Me Too movement,
03:40the film director and producer
03:42was accused of assault
03:43by several different women,
03:44some working in Hollywood.
03:46Ratner also allegedly outed Elliot Page.
03:49Due to the scandal,
03:50Warner Brothers terminated
03:51its working relationship
03:53with Ratner
03:53and his production company.
03:55Warner Brothers and the filmmaker
03:57have now parted ways,
03:58and now Playboy Enterprises
04:00is suspending plans
04:01to team up with Ratner
04:03to make a movie on Hugh Hefner.
04:05O.J. Simpson
04:06In 2009,
04:08The Juice is Loose came out.
04:10I, Peter Griffin,
04:11will be playing
04:12one free round of golf tomorrow
04:14with the one and only
04:16O.J. Simpson.
04:17What?
04:18Peter, you can't play golf
04:19with O.J. Simpson.
04:20He's a murderer.
04:21Yet the script was written years ago,
04:23long before Simpson found himself
04:25in further trouble.
04:26The episode even opened
04:28with a disclaimer
04:28that it took place in March 2007.
04:31The plot revolved around
04:32the former NFL star
04:33being treated like a victim
04:35of false accusations
04:36for the 1994 murders
04:38of Nicole Brown Simpson
04:39and Ronald Goldman.
04:40That's been chasing me
04:41for 13 years,
04:43and here I was
04:44looking forward
04:44to a nice day of golf
04:46away from all those people
04:47who have demonized me
04:49and made me out
04:50to be some kind of boogeyman,
04:51even though I was found innocent
04:53by a jury of my peers.
04:54After making a heartfelt speech,
04:57bringing an angry crowd
04:58and the audience to his side,
05:00Simpson kills multiple characters
05:01before running away.
05:03In September 2007,
05:05Simpson took part
05:05in a real-life armed robbery
05:07of a hotel casino
05:08in Las Vegas, Nevada.
05:09In 2008,
05:10he was sentenced
05:11to 33 years in jail.
05:13Simpson was paroled
05:14in 2017
05:15and fully released
05:17in 2021.
05:18Simpson's speaking out
05:20for the first time tonight.
05:21You see it there
05:22since his top-secret exit
05:23from the Lovelock Correctional Center.
05:25Charlie Rose
05:26In his heyday,
05:28Rose was one of the U.S.'s
05:29biggest news anchors,
05:31earning him multiple shows
05:32on CBS and PBS.
05:34I am pleased to have
05:35another conversation
05:37with my friend Warren Buffett.
05:38Welcome.
05:39Good to see you, Charlie.
05:40In 2016,
05:42Family Guy aired
05:42The New Adventures of Old Tom,
05:44where Tom Tucker
05:45struggled to stay relevant
05:46as hotshot presenter
05:48Dallas Portland
05:49takes Quahog women by storm.
05:51After some ill-advised
05:52encouragement by Peter
05:53caused Tom to ruin
05:54his reputation,
05:56the Griffin patriarch
05:57mentioned Tom
05:58had fallen even further
05:59than Charlie Rose
06:00before going to
06:02a cutaway gag
06:03of the host.
06:04Today on CBS This Morning,
06:05we'll be talking about
06:06how much sleep you need
06:07to not be drunk
06:08from the night before.
06:10That's not what
06:11we're talking about.
06:11That's what I'm talking about.
06:13A year later,
06:14this joke would become
06:15more layered
06:16as Rose was accused
06:17of sexual misconduct
06:18against several women
06:19who worked
06:20or hoped to work
06:21alongside him.
06:22After numerous women
06:23came forward,
06:24CBS and PBS
06:26fired him.
06:27Charlie does not
06:28get a pass here.
06:29He doesn't get a pass
06:30from anyone in this room.
06:31We are all deeply affected.
06:32We are all rocked by this.
06:34Kanye West.
06:35A slow burn
06:36of a fall from grace,
06:38West's reputation
06:39has been crumbling
06:40for a while
06:40due to his even more
06:41disturbing behavior.
06:43With so much
06:44to work with,
06:45Family Guy
06:45has taken several shots
06:46at the rapper.
06:47Okay, I'll put the Kanye
06:49canes in the stockings.
06:50You know, it's just like,
06:52you know, music
06:52and fashion,
06:54all that.
06:54You know, I can't be stopped.
06:56Whatever I do,
06:57you know, I just want
06:58to be the best
06:59because the best
07:00is never enough.
07:01Yet the most telling
07:02was in 2018's
07:04Married with Cancer.
07:05Quagmire sets up
07:07a cutaway by stating
07:08that Brian's
07:08bachelor party
07:09will be crazier
07:10than whatever
07:11West is up to.
07:12I want to throw you
07:13the wildest
07:13bachelor party
07:14of all time.
07:15It's going to be crazier
07:16than whatever Kanye West
07:17is doing at this
07:18particular moment.
07:19We then see
07:19the disgraced musician
07:21massaging a lasagna
07:22and announcing
07:23his intention
07:23to join an extremist
07:24group.
07:25In the years since,
07:27West has descended
07:27into a far-right
07:29rabbit hole,
07:29making anti-Semitic
07:31statements and
07:31supporting the legacy
07:32of the evil dictator,
07:34Adolf Hitler.
07:35We got to a point
07:36where something
07:36needed to happen.
07:37Something needed
07:38to be said.
07:39Somebody needed
07:39to say something.
07:40Jimmy Saville.
07:41For decades,
07:42Saville had a reputation
07:43in the UK
07:44as a beloved
07:45children's TV presenter,
07:47mostly with the BBC.
07:49We got it all
07:50happening tonight,
07:51ladies and gentlemen.
07:51Everybody's around,
07:53and they're going to start
07:54with our guests
07:54from America.
07:56However,
07:57a year after he died,
07:58in 2012,
07:59we discovered
08:00that he used his reputation
08:01to abuse hundreds of people,
08:03often using his charity work
08:05as a cover
08:05to target victims.
08:07In 2002,
08:08Road to Europe dropped.
08:09It involved
08:10Brian and Stewie
08:11traveling to the UK
08:12to visit the baby's
08:13favorite BBC TV show,
08:15Jolly Farm Review.
08:17There it is.
08:18The BBC.
08:20While the episode
08:21doesn't feature
08:22Saville directly,
08:23it seemingly hints
08:24at his horrible exploits.
08:26When Stewie discovered
08:27it was a set,
08:28he went to speak
08:29to one of the characters,
08:30only to realize
08:31he's creepily looking
08:32at dirty drawings
08:33without an ounce of shame.
08:35What is it you've drawn here?
08:36Oh, that's Oswald Owl
08:37slamming Mother Maggie
08:38in one of them
08:39Chinese baskets?
08:41Ryan Singer.
08:42We have no idea
08:43what Fox's X-Men franchise
08:45had in the water,
08:46but after Ratner,
08:48another director-producer
08:49was alleged
08:50to have committed
08:50terrible acts.
08:52You know,
08:52you know it's going to get
08:53some reaction to that,
08:54but at the same time,
08:55it's my way of saying
08:57the third one's
08:58always the hardest.
08:59After allegations
09:00had been coming out
09:01for years,
09:02it really took off
09:03in 2017
09:04when Singer was issued
09:05a lawsuit
09:06for assaulting a teenager.
09:08The destruction
09:08of his career,
09:09Song Fired
09:10from Bohemian Rhapsody
09:11and Dark Phoenix.
09:12In 2016,
09:14the episode
09:14The Peanut Butter Kid
09:15aired,
09:16which had Stewie
09:17explore the murky world
09:18of child celebrity.
09:20Stewie actually got a call
09:21for another commercial tomorrow.
09:23Who knows?
09:24This could be the beginning
09:25of a nice career for him.
09:26You sure about this, Lois?
09:28I mean,
09:28the world of child acting
09:29can be a pretty bad
09:30environment for a kid.
09:32Struggling to keep up
09:33with his parents' demands,
09:34Brian spoke to Stewie.
09:36He pointed out
09:37that plenty of actors
09:38had been destroyed
09:39by parental greed
09:40or perverted Hollywood directors,
09:42giving Stewie a chance
09:43to name-drop Singer.
09:45Oh, like Brian Singer.
09:46Exactly.
09:47Bill Cosby
09:48From America's Dad,
09:50Cosby had the admiration
09:51of many.
09:52No, I was not rambling,
09:55and I think it's a very good way
09:57to tell that particular part of life.
09:59I mean, it worked on you.
10:00But then,
10:01in 2014,
10:02the allegations
10:04that he wasn't as wholesome
10:05as everyone believed
10:06emerged.
10:07The actor was accused
10:08of sedating women
10:09and then assaulting them.
10:11This led to Cosby being jailed
10:13for three to ten years
10:14in 2018.
10:15However,
10:16the sentence was later overturned
10:18on a technicality.
10:19In 2001,
10:20the episode
10:21Brian Does Hollywood dropped.
10:22A big, stupid doo-doo hat.
10:29Honestly,
10:30the things these children
10:31come up with.
10:32Stewie had the plan
10:33of mind-controlling viewers
10:34on Kids Say the Darnedest Things,
10:37hosted by Cosby.
10:38However,
10:39the device was taken
10:40by Cosby,
10:41who then used it
10:42on Stewie,
10:43making him docile.
10:44In 2008's
10:45The Man with Two Brains,
10:47there's a joke
10:48about Brian's
10:48video compilation
10:49involving Cosby
10:50attacking someone,
10:52somehow hinting
10:53at the actor's
10:54hidden violence.
10:55It's freaking brutal
10:56for no reason.
10:57You know,
10:58poor little guys
10:58just sitting there
10:59eating his snack pack,
11:00Bill Cosby just runs in
11:01out of nowhere
11:02and just starts wailing on him.
11:03Kevin Spacey
11:20According to Family Guy creator
11:22Seth MacFarlane,
11:23this was a complete coincidence.
11:25However,
11:26that won't stop people
11:27from wondering
11:28if the industry knew things
11:29about Spacey
11:30behind the scenes.
11:31Ten bucks.
11:32Five bucks.
11:32Eight bucks and I'll do it.
11:33Fine.
11:34In 2005,
11:36Don't Make Me Over Air,
11:37it featured Stewie
11:38streaking through a mall
11:39for a dare,
11:40yelling that he'd escaped
11:42from Spacey's basement.
11:43In 2017,
11:45several actors and crew
11:46came forward
11:47with allegations
11:48that Spacey had assaulted
11:49and harassed them.
11:50So in 2017,
11:51when everything happened
11:52and I lost everything,
11:53I remember I said to Evan,
11:55I don't know who I am
11:57without my work.
11:58I don't know,
11:59I don't know
12:01acting as all
12:02I've ever, ever known.
12:04This caused the actor
12:05to be fired
12:05from House of Cards,
12:06as well as other projects.
12:09Upon the allegations
12:10coming to light,
12:11Spacey infamously
12:12denied the claims,
12:13while also admitting
12:15he was gay,
12:16drawing severe criticism.
12:18Since then,
12:19the once respected performer
12:20has struggled
12:21for the mainstream work
12:22he was used to.
12:23I accept my accountability.
12:26I think it's
12:28incredibly important.
12:28I am not going to
12:30be accountable
12:32for things I didn't do
12:33or that were exaggerated
12:34or greatly changed,
12:35but I absolutely believe
12:37that my role in it
12:38was my role in it.
12:40Which celebrity
12:41was most brutally
12:42roasted by the
12:43Family Guy team
12:44for a scandal
12:45they were involved in?
12:46Let us know
12:47in the comments.
12:48Are you saying
12:49we do fraud?
12:50No, no, no.
12:51It's not fraud
12:52because the machine works
12:53in my head.
12:55If I think it works,
12:56then it works.
12:57That's the Silicon Valley motto.
