Family Guy's Consuela: A Force Stronger Than the Dark Side

As you probably already know, I haven't posted in quite a while. What have I been doing? Watching Family Guy. Lots and lots of Family Guy.

So much so that my current cultural reference takes me back to Family Guy in just about every possible situation. Parenting. Eating. Basically, anything you mention will bring a response invariably starting with "Did you see that Family Guy episode where...."

Today, though, I am obsessed with Consuela, the Spanish speaking maid who does what she wants, when she wants and no one can ask her to do anything else.

Well, I guess you can ask her, but you'll get the same answer "No. No."  And always softly spoken but somehow unmistakably letting you know that no matter who you think you are -- even Lord Darth Vader -- Consuela will overcome.

We could all learn a little something from Consuela.

You've discovered Family Guy huh? That clip was pretty funny too. She definitely told the lord who's boss...it's interesting how so many people enjoy Family Guy. A great cartoon in an age where cartoons pretty much suck, in my personal opinion.

What gets me is when I first, first saw Family Guy, probably during the first season or so, I hate it. Found it entirely distasteful.

Somehow distaste has turned to brilliance.

But Consuela is the best. She's up there with Stewie in my book, possibly higher in my own personal Family Guy hierarchy.

Hahaha, I loved Family Guy at first, then hated it when they insulted Canada...and now I love it again. My favorite is Ollie the weather forecaster. He gets me every time.

Consuela for president!

Damn skippy! I'd vote for her.

I love Family Guy. It never fails to tickle my funny bone. Often, too much.
