Family Guy

[LC + VOC + GRA]

Watch part of an episode of Family Guy in which the Griffins meet the Simpsons and answer the questions below orally.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywmhnXMWamY

a) Why does Homer think he and Peter will definitely get along? b) What’s a prank phone call? c) Explain why Homer and Peter start arguing.

Now read the text below and try to fill in the missing nouns.

Family Guy is about the adventures of the Griffin family, consisting of (the) father Peter, a well-intentioned blue collar worker; stay-at-home mother, mom/mum (BrE) and piano teacher Lois; Meg, their awkward teenage daughter who is constantly ridiculed and ignored by her family; Chris, their teenage son, who is overweight, unintelligent and a younger version of his father in many respects; and Stewie, their infant son of ambiguous sexual orientation who has adult mannerisms and uses stereotypical phrases.

Explain the underlined words in the text.

Mark the pronouns indicating possession in the text.

Ø Have a look at the grammar topic genitive possessive case in your TB p. 181 and pronouns in your TB p. 131 and 182.

Complete the following text with the correct pronoun or genitive form.

Chris Griffin is Peter and Lois’/Lois’s son and Meg and Stewie’s brother. He’s a pretty innocent teenager who feels self-conscious, especially about his weight.

Meg Griffin’s insecurities cause her desperately to try to be part of the cool crowd. One time Chris read her diary and when she found out, he claimed he didn’t know it was hers!

Brian is the family’s dog. He is theirs. He is also one of the show’s icons. He can talk, walks on his hind legs, drives a car, and writes novels, screenplays, and essays. All members of 1

the family love their dog. Brian wears a collar. The collar is his, it belongs to him and its colour is red.

Do you have a large family? I don’t think mine/yours is as large as yours/mine/theirs.

The members of the Griffin family aren’t always that tidy as you can tell from the following conversation. Read through the conversation with your neighbour and fill in the missing pronouns.

Chris: Where are my trousers and where is my pullover? I can’t find them.

Meg: What colour are they?

Chris: A pair of black jeans and a green pullover.

Meg: How about this pair of trousers? Are they yours?

Chris: Ah, yes. They are mine. And here is my pullover. Thank you, Meg. Lois: I’m looking for my skirt and shoes.

Stewie: Is this your skirt, Mum? Lois: Not this skirt, no. Mine is dark blue. This must be Meg’s. She often wears this kind of skirt. It’s hers, I think. Ah, here is my skirt. And now, my shoes. They are black, with a low heel.

Stewie: Black with a low heel. Could these be your shoes?

Lois: I think so, yes. Let me try them on. Yes, these are my shoes.

Meg: Where are my glasses. I put them in their case and I laid them here on this windowsill. I can hardly see without them.

Peter: I’ll help you look. What colour is your case?

Meg: Purple.

Peter: A purple case with glasses. Is this your case, perhaps? It’s a purple one, with glasses.

Meg: Let me see. Yes, this is definitely my case and these are my glasses. What a relief!

Lois: And now the mobiles. The boys put them all together in the closet in the hallway. But where are they? I think somebody collected their mobiles and hid them somewhere. Brian, did you do that?

Brian: I have no idea where their mobile phones are. I carry mine with me. Let’s go and look for them together.
