Ok this has been bugging me.

In Family Guy Peter's ancestor is Nate Griffin a Slave own by the Pweterschimt Family. We find this out in Peter Griffin Husband, Father...Brother?

Then in the Griffin Family History Episode we find out that Nate had sex with Pweterschimt's daughter and had kids. So the famliy line kept going and soon Pter was born. Peter then meets and falls in love with Lois. So wouldnt Peter and Lois have already been family before they were married?

I think that the show changes their history as they go so it is whatever they want it to be at the time of the most recent episode...

And actually Peter's father is from Ireland remember, and I don't think that his last name was Griffin either...

When someone says "That is a big ASK" or "I have an ASK" or something similar instead of saying "request".

Also, when someone gets asked a question and the first word they respond with is "So..."

Character 1: "Hey Fred, what happened to you last night?"
Character 2: "So I hooked up with this woman..."

Character 1: "Can you explain the process of cross-pollination?"
Character 2: "So when dada such and such..."

Character 1: "What kind of things does your pop-up store offer?"
Character 2: "So we sell antiques..."

Everyone on tv and movies always has a cup of coffee in it and is drinking it without spilling a drip even when doing crazy stuff!

It's not coffee, but your comment reminded me of this scene from "Undercover Brother":

Not really TV but in werewolf and vampire novels all this dominant pack and covern crap where Americans (sorry to be nation centric) all of a sudden becoming fawning pawns to dominance and soda-masochistic group relationships. In werewolf novels, there's usually some guy name Bararock (or like that) and we all have to kiss his butt. All the females are pawns to his pheromones.

Similarly, the government is always clueless about such packs, coverns.

Sad sack loser are always janitors. Way not working at Walmart or a tire store?

Yelling ambushed. When you are being ambushed. In a war movie.

Every tough guy. Owns one cool classic muscle car.

Bad guys always waiting for you inside your home. When you get home.

I hate when one character says something, then another character basically repeats what the first character just got through saying.

Character 1: "Wow, I really like these fries, they are so good."

Character 2: "You like them?"

In books, characters don't have to act stupid to keep the plot going. In TV and movies, it's almost required. There's a reason Tyrion got stupid in the Game of Thrones series -- because the material from the books had ended. (Also see it now in the adaptation of Station Eleven.)

Part of the problem is that characters can't function more intelligently than the writers. And the writers being at mere mid wit level can't construct events so the characters logically would chose to do those plot required things.
