Everyone knows jokes about God and Jesus on Family Guy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9yLx5tM8...
but why are there barely jokes about the devil?
I can name only one ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3GDO0EPv...
and that's not classical
so .... is family guy not so blasphemously as we all thought?
or what are they actually trying to tell with all this jokes?
thanks in advance
ps: and thanks for not making any offenses and stuff like "family guy steals from Simpsons anyway" that's not the question...
Why are there not so many jokes about the devil in Family Guy, than God jokes?-Myspace pictures
Probably because everyone believes god forgives.

because family guy (recent episodes) do nothing but make cracks about religion. They make fun of God because they think thats funny.
family guy jokes used to joke about things in the bible. for example the skit with the 2 wise men getting mad at the 3rd for buying gold and 1uping their gifts, so they say "lets put them all together and say theyre from all of us"
now they just take cheap shots at the concept of God. for example Brian refering to God as a made up character that doesent exist when peter made a church praying to fonze.
It is more "shocking" to make fun of god/jesus. That's what adds punch to their jokes
Because there is not interest group behind the Devil and therefor no shocker potential.
For Jesus and God, there's the church behind it and many christians to say: oh my god, that was evil, i'm so pissed now, amen.
For e.g. Hitler-jokes well it's Hitler many people are touched by this name, have feelings connected to it.
But the Devil...who should complain here? Satanists? They're a minority compared to the other target groups.
So I think it's because of lacking shocker potential that Family Guy doesn't make that much jokes about the Devil than Jesus/God/Hitler/e.g.
