Seth MacFarlane said in the Famly Guy DVD that it's Laugh and Cry, he also pointed out that it does sound like F'in' cry.

Lois: It seems today that all you see is violence in movies and sex on Tv.

Peter: But, Where are those good ol' fashion values ...

All: ... on which we used to rely?
All: Lucky theres a Family Guy!
All: Lucky theres a man who, positively can do all the thing that make us ...

Stewie: ...Laugh and cry!

All: He's a Family Guuuuuuuuuuuuy!

Ya - it sure sounds like F'n cry to me and I've been listening super closely because of this thread. I dunno - I think Seth and the boys are just covering their tails.

AnGeLiCa1991 · 07-19-2005, 01:13 AM

If you listen to the extended theme (Family Guy: Live in Vegas) it tells about how they good it was back in the day and how F**ked it is today.

FOLN@NFan · 07-29-2005, 07:31 PM

It seems today
That all you see
Is violence in movies
And sex on TV

But where are those good old fashioned values,
On which we used to rely?

It used to be,
A big time star
Was elegant as Garbo
Or Hedy Lamarr

But now we get whores like Jenny Lopez
You want to curl up and die

Lucky there's a Family Guy
Lucky there's a man who,
Positively can do,
All the things that make us
Laugh and cry
He's a Family Guy!

When I was young
The songs were fair
With Mr. Johnny Mathis
And Sonny and Cher

But now we get Justin Timber-homo
A heartache all gone awry!

The classic films
Were works of art
The images were graceful
The stories were smart

But now we get Matrix Revolutions
I'm sorry, I know this doesn't rhyme, but what the hell were you Wachowski Brothers thinking?

Lucky there's a Family Guy
Lucky there's a fella,
Sweeter than vanilla,
Wholesome as a piece of
Apple pie
He's a Family Guy!

Lois: His smile’s a simple delight.
Chris: He lets me see the boobies on the internet sites.
Lois: Peter!
Meg: He bought me my cute little hat.
Brian: Yeah we should have a talk about that.
Chorus: About that! And his hat!

Brian: He’s mastered the comedy arts.
Stewie: He says, “Look out, Hiroshima!” then casually farts. (fart sound effect)
Lois: He’s loaded with sexy appeal.
Peter: And best of all my titties are real. Have a feel!
Brian: No thank you.
Stewie: I gave it the office.

The Brady Bunch,
Has got their Mike
And pretty Laura Petrie
Has Dicky Van Dyke

But who around here could fill those loafers?
But here's a happy reply

Lucky there's a Family Guy
Lucky there's a man who,
Positively can do,
All the things that make us
Laugh and cry
He's a Family Guy!
He's a Family Guy!

its Laugh and cry. He says it on Volume 1 DVD. He doesnt sound like effign cry to me.

DaTechnician29 · 12-07-2005, 02:31 PM

I think it was an audio editing blunder. It seems in Season one when they recorded it the sound engineer hit the button a tad late when doing Stewies voice over into the song, which in turn resulted in the first part of the word Laugh getting cut off. Therefore you end up with Eff N Cry. It appears they redid it in the later episodes and got all of "Laugh" in there. check it out.

Lurker · 12-07-2005, 03:27 PM

The opening song in the new episodes has been changed a little to make Stewie's "Laugh and Cry" sound more like it should.

The first few years, it was a lot closer to "eff-in Cry" I think they should have left it abiguous. Gets people talking
