Family Guy And Married With Children Predicted The Bruce Jenner Transformation
I’m sure these have been floating around since he made the announcement he was transforming, but now that he’s gone full blown Caitlyn I’m just seeing them. The Family Guy one is much more of a prediction. The Married With Children one is just making fun of Marcy D’Arcy for looking like a dykeish Olympian. Turns out it was just a joke that was just like 25 years ahead of its time and it was making fun of Bruce Jenner for actually looking like a chick, not the other way around. That fucking show was always ahead of its time.
Pretty fucking bizarre though, no? Not the first time we’ve seen this with Family Guy either. Ordinarily I’d say the chances of making a Bruce Jenner transgender joke and having it come true is about 1 in a GAZILLION, but I suppose when your show’s brand of humor is the most random collection of references and jokes imaginable, its not that crazy. All those Family Guy tidbits read like Mad Libs and this time Stewie just drew “Bruce Jenner,” “Woman” and “Dutch” and bingo bango you’ve got yourself a Family Guy joke and prediction for years later. You gotta wonder what Bruce Jenner* thinks when he sees this. Because you know he’s gonna see it, if he already hasnt. Does he just kinda chuckle like “How about that shit?” Or do you think maybe he saw it when it originally aired and was like “FUCK how did this get out?? How the fuck did Seth MacFarlane know??” Either way I would love to be there when he first saw that scene.
*I’m still calling him Bruce Jenner. I know its super popular right now to be all supportive of Bruce Jenner and just immediately start calling him “her” and “Caitlyn” and says hes “brave” and all that shit, but I’m still calling him Bruce. I am all for what hes doing – do you, man! But I still call Metta World Peace “Ron Artest.” I still call Giancarlo Stanton “Mike Stanton.” And all those assholes did was change their names. So I gotta be consistent. Bruce Jenner is still Bruce Jenner to me. Primarily because my main problem is with people who give themselves nicknames. You gotta let those things come about organically. Should have let the public decide and then maybe I’d call you by your girl name. But for now its still Bruce Jenner over here.

For real, did the Family Guy writers just know?
