Have you ever stopped to wonder what Family Guy would be like if it were a classic, wholesome 1980s sitcom? Well, thanks to artificial intelligence, we can now see the answer. And let me tell you, it's quite something - equal parts uncanny, unnerving, and filled with a surprising amount of fingers.
For those of us who have been loyal fans of the iconic animated show since its debut in 1999, this glimpse into an alternate reality is something we will never be able to un-see. YouTuber Lyrical Realms recently shared a video featuring a fake opening sequence for this fictional show, using AI to create various clips with the help of an image generation model. And let me tell you, it's bizarrely spot on.
From the moment we see Peter Griffin bursting out of his white shirt, it's clear that we are in for a wild ride. Every member of the Griffin family is represented, from Lois and Meg to Quagmire and Cleveland. And perhaps the most jarring part of it all? Stewie and Brian making an appearance as a toddler and a golden Labrador, respectively, looking quite wholesome and out of place in this strange new world.
As one of the most iconic animated shows in history, it's no surprise that a live-action twist would have been both horrifying and fascinating. Just imagine the chaos that would ensue if this version of the Griffins were to come to life - and let's not even get started on the hands. Even Peter's arch-nemesis, the chicken, makes an appearance, but in a much more sinister form lurking behind him on a subway station, resembling more of a featherless foe like Jabba the Hut than the feisty fowl we know from the show.
Opinions on this AI-generated version of Family Guy have been divided, with some viewers finding it unsettling, to say the least. One person described it as a "bizarre window into an alternate reality," while another pointed out how eerily realistic the characters look. And let's not forget the struggle with creating normal-looking hands, as one YouTube user cleverly noted.
But not everyone was put off by this strange new version of the show. Many praised the likenesses and even suggested that this could be a skit in the actual series. Some fans even admitted to feeling a sense of nostalgia for something that never actually existed, while others could vividly imagine the concept of this fake show.
In fact, some fans went as far as to come up with their own ideas for the plot of this imagined family-friendly sitcom. One suggested a wholesome and silly dad, Peter Griffin, getting into amusing situations in the neighborhood and solving them in a wholesome manner. Sounds like something that could definitely fit in with the real show's style.
