In a surprising turn of events, yet another old joke from the animated series “Family Guy” has resurfaced, this time targeting actor Kevin Spacey.
The show's creator, Seth MacFarlane, seems to have an uncanny ability to predict scandals before they happen.
The controversial joke came from a 2005 episode of the show, featuring Stewie Griffin, a talking baby voiced by MacFarlane, running n^ked through a store and shouting, “Help!
I've escaped from Kevin Spacey's basement!”
Little did anyone know at the time, this joke would become eerily relevant years later.
The joke gained attention following recent allegations made against Spacey by actor Anthony Rapp.
Rapp accused Spacey of making a s**ual advance towards him when he was just 14 years old.
In response to the allegations, Spacey issued an apology, claiming he didn't remember the incident.
Social media and YouTube were abuzz with the resurfaced “Family Guy” clip, leaving many wondering if MacFarlane has some sort of insider knowledge or if it's all just a coincidence.
As of now, MacFarlane has not publicly addressed the Spacey joke.
This isn't the first time MacFarlane has seemingly predicted scandalous behavior.
Just a few weeks ago, he was applauded for calling out Harvey Weinstein's s**ual abuse allegations during the 2013 Oscars.
After announcing the nominees for Best Supporting Actress, MacFarlane congratulated the actresses, saying, “You five ladies no longer have to pretend to be attracted to Harvey Weinstein.”
When questioned about the joke resurfacing, MacFarlane took to Twitter to clarify his intentions.
He stated, “Make no mistake, this came from a place of loathing and anger.”
It seems that MacFarlane has a knack for using humor to shed light on serious issues.
