'Family Guy' takes a jab at Kevin Spacey and 'The Usual Suspects'
Hollywood's sexual misconduct headlines are officially old enough to have made it on TV, as with Family Guy's Dec. 3 episode "Crimes and Meg's Demeanor." The episode refers to Kevin Spacey being a gay man in relation to the ending of The Usual Suspects– which is to say, completely unrelated in context.
SEE ALSO:Kevin Spacey officially comes out amid allegations of sexual misconductIn the episode, Meg starts drinking to boost her social capital at school during her senior year. She goes to a party and downs several beers, impressing her fellow youths by casually tossing them over her shoulder.
"What can I say, I'm full of surprises," she says. "Like the end of The Usual Suspects."
The show then cuts to Meg watching said ending with her parents and realizing the truth about Kaizer Soze...or not.
"He was gay the whole time!" exclaims Peter.
Spacey received heavy backlash for publicly coming out in October after Anthony Rapp accused the actor of making inappropriate advances when Rapp was a minor. Spacey's critics, including actors Zachary Quinto and Billy Eichner, pointed out that the LGBTQ+ community has spent years distancing itself from pedophilia, and that using his sexual orientation to respond to Rapp's horrific allegations conflates the two in an extremely problematic way.
In other words, being gay has nothing to do with it, just like it had nothing to do with that twist in The Usual Suspects.
Family Guy joked about Spacey a couple times over the years, while Difficult Peoplemade a habit of throwing in Spacey jabs with regularity.
"Crimes and Meg's Demeanor" is available to stream on Hulu or FOX NOW.
