Fox TV Gag Family Guy Parody
Comic out-foxed in family feud
A dual blow was struck for freedom and farce in America today as comic Brian Froud was banned by Fox Television from performing his stand-up show Swiss Family Guy Robinson.
The one man sketch show is a parody of Fox's hit cartoon, Family Guy and sees the impressionist perform caricatures from the show's thirty-odd characters. But Fox Television issued a cease and desist order against the pilfering comedian to prevent him taking the show on tour.
Defending accusations he was a rip-off artist, Canadian-born Froud said: "We simply want to frolic within the hysterical realm of the freakin' sweet madness."
The comedian has launched an online petition to try and persuade Fox to change its mind.
