I noticed that The Simpsons is more universal while
Family Guy AND Futurama are full of references to American TV and politics.

If a foreigner hasn't seen the American TV shows or watch American news then someone from another country won't fully enjoy the latter shows.

Another prime example in America was the movie Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood
To FULLY enjoy this movie and get the jokes you would have had to see these movies:

Higher Learning
South Central
Boyz N' The Hood
Juice
Menace To Society
9 1/2 Weeks
Coolie High
Do The Right Thing
Poetic Justice
and more

(it also helped if you were black or at the very least white and watched alot of rap videos)

18 years old from Scotland? This is probably why it's hard to get into Family Guy. It makes references to alot of OLD American TV shows. So when they make a joke on the show referencing the show One Day At A Time your're like
and it's understandable.

I'm also from Scotland and i am 17 ...and i understand Family Guy fully.......its by far the best cartoon ...better than simpsons,futurama,south park n so on

I don't get half the jokes but its still funny

[sampson]

I watch Family Guy everynight@ ten after work

[scribblec]

to me it goes
futurama
family guy
south park
then simpsons
even though simpsons is funny it has become quite boring

I noticed people were making references towards Family Guy's um, references to American Pop Culture and such. A great example of this is when at the beginning of an episode it shows Stewie looking through the fridge and he goes:

"Hmm lets see here, we've got soda....purple stuff... ALL RIGHT, SUNNY D!"

It was very funny, if only I could remember what episode that was.

I do remember it's one of the first seven (first season)
