Prince Harry, Meghan Markle mocked for second time in ‘Family Guy' episode: ‘Like all of your wives are so much better?'
'Family Guy' is at it again. The animated show mocked Prince Harry and Meghan Markle a second time in its most recent episode, two years after it first took a jab at the royal couple. Advertisement In the July 17 episode, 'Twain's World,' in which characters Brian and Stewie (both voiced by creator Seth MacFarlane) travel back in time, the talking dog compares the couple to some of history's worst events. After Stewie warns Brian that taking a certain action while traveling through the past could 'change the course of history,' Brian answers, 'You always say that, but doesn't history pretty much suck?' Then, using the comedy rule of threes, he mentions Hitler and the Crusades before Stewie quips, 'Prince Harry marrying Meghan Markle.' In the next moment, the show cuts to one of its signature cutaway gags with Harry sitting on a couch watching the episode. Advertisement 'Again?' he complains of the joke, before turning toward the camera with his hands on his hips to say, 'Oh, like all of your wives are so much better?' 'Family Guy,' which is known for not pulling punches when it comes to its pop culture digs, first took aim at the Sussexes in 2023. 6 'Family Guy' mocked Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in a recent episode. Family Guy/FOX In that episode, main character Peter Griffin, also voiced by MacFarlane, sits in a bar with friends pondering how to get back money he is owed when he jokes that he'll 'go it alone, just like Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.' Advertisement The scene then cuts to cartoon versions of Harry and Meghan poolside as a butler approaches with an envelope. The butler says, 'Sir, your millions from Netflix for … no one knows what.' 6 The July 17th episode titled 'Twain's World' showed a cartoon of Prince Harry on the couch, shocked that the show joked about him again. Family Guy/FOX Prince Harry waves him away, saying, 'Put it with the rest of them.' Advertisement Markle then gets a notification on her phone and declares, 'Babe, time to do our daily $250,000 sponsored Instagram post for Del Taco.' The animated prince sighs and says, 'I shouldn't have left the made-up nonsense.' Animated comedy 'South Park' also made fun of the couple in a 2023 episode, 'The Worldwide Privacy Tour.' 6 The couple found themselves the butt of the joke in a 2023 episode of the series, in which their money-hungry ways were mercilessly mocked by the animated show. FOX 6 'Family Guy' first took aim at the Sussexes in 2023. Getty Images Described as royalty from Canada, they are depicted throughout the episode as simultaneously demanding privacy while seeking attention, appearing on talk shows and stages around the world. Prince Harry's memoir even got a satirical new title on the show, changed from 'Spare' to 'WAAGH.' The fictional couple decided to move to South Park to convince people they are 'really serious about wanting to be normal,' soon unloading their private jet and moving into a house across the street from character Kyle Broflovski. Advertisement Kyle is routinely distracted by them and complains to his friends at one point, 'I'm sick of hearing about them! But I can't get away from them. They're everywhere!' 6 The pair were brutally mocked in a 2023 South Park episode over their decision to move across the pond in a desperate bid for privacy. Comedy Central 6 Prince Harry spoke at an event with HALO CEO James Cowan on Wednesday. AP Advertisement The Canadian royalty eventually visit a branding agency, which teases that 'victim' is part of their brand. Though they never addressed it publicly, a source told The Spectator that Markle had been 'upset and overwhelmed' by the episode and was 'annoyed by 'South Park' but refuses to watch it all.' Representatives for Seth MacFarlane and the Sussexes did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Barstool, Fox, and a marriage made for modern sports media
Barstool Sports is back on TV. Eight years after ESPN cancelled a Barstool late-night show, the digital sports media company that has spawned devoted fans and fervent critics is coming to Fox and Fox Sports1 for the upcoming football season. 'Barstool Sports, myself, we are joining 'Big Noon Kickoff',' Portnoy said in a video posted to social media Thursday, referencing Fox's Saturday morning college football show. Portnoy has long been a divisive figure in sports media and beyond, building a massive digital following with commentary on an array of subjects, including sports, politics, gambling, finance and pizza. He also has a history of misogynistic and racist comments and has been the subject of sexual misconduct accusations. Now, he will appear alongside Matt Leinart, Urban Meyer and others during college football season. Barstool, meanwhile, will produce a daily morning show for Fox's cable sports network. As one high-level media executive told The Post: "It's insane! How can you put [Portnoy] on TV next to Urban Meyer? Of course, I'm going to watch.' Here's what to know about this seismic move for sports media. Industry insiders spoke on the condition of anonymity for this story, to offer candid thoughts without jeopardizing working relationships. When ESPN launched a show with the hosts of the popular Barstool podcast, 'Pardon My Take,' in 2017, ESPN staffers revolted over Barstool's treatment of women. Portnoy has made degrading comments about women, including once suggesting some 'kind of deserve to be raped.' The ESPN show was canceled after a single episode. (Portnoy has said many of his comments were jokes.) Much has changed since then. As other digital sports outlets have struggled or disappeared, Barstool still claims a rabid fan base of mostly young men who consume content, buy merchandise and show up at events. It leaned into gambling ahead of others and helped to launch the careers of several media superstars, including Pat McAfee, now at ESPN, and Alex Cooper, among the most popular podcasters in the country. Go to any college football tailgate and you will find Barstool flags flying in the parking lots. 'Pardon My Take,' featuring Dan Katz and Eric Sollenberger (better known as Big Cat and PFT Commenter) is going on a decade as one of the country's most popular sports podcasts. Portnoy has become the most important pizza influencer in the country. Barstool's ESPN show also came during President Trump's first term, right before the #MeToo movement gained prominence. Trump since has been re-elected, and Portnoy is now a regular guest on Fox News and Fox Business. After the Barstool partnership was announced, one Fox Sports staffer told the Post, 'I think from a business proposition this is probably smart, and I don't love that that is true.' ESPN has re-made its business around the industry's biggest personalities, most notably McAfee and Stephen A. Smith. Portnoy is arguably better at generating attention than either. "Dave has built a one-of-a-kind brand that connects with a new generation of sports fans – authentic, bold, and original,' Fox Sports CEO Eric Shanks said in the company's announcement. A buzzword among so many executives today is relevance. Portnoy has mastered the attention economy with more than 9 million followers between X and TikTok. (Katz and Sollenberger each have more than 1 million X followers, too.) On Fox, Portnoy likely will deliver his share of viral moments, perhaps along the lines of McAfee doing a backflip into the Tennessee River when ESPN's college football pregame show visited Knoxville. ESPN licenses McAfee's show for two hours every afternoon. It will soon license TNT's pre- and post-game show for its NBA coverage. Now Fox, after canceling three of its daytime talk shows earlier this month, is turning to Barstool to develop a morning show. (According to people familiar with the deal, Barstool is building a TV studio in its Chicago headquarters.) Sports networks are showing a reluctance to develop new programming outside of live sports, outsourcing what used to be a core function of a network. That leaves Barstool a chance to make a morning show that looks nothing like traditional TV. It's reasonable to assume that whatever Barstool produces won't look anything like ESPN's 'Get Up' or Fox's now-canceled 'Breakfast Ball," shows consisting mostly of ex-athletes and talking heads debating the day's biggest sports stories from behind desks. Whether Barstool's fans — and other sports fans — will watch on linear TV is another question. McAfee, for example, has a big digital footprint, but his TV ratings have lagged. (ESPN has said that doesn't matter because McAfee is part of the company's direct-to-consumer strategy.) Barstool will now confront similar questions to the networks: Can they take a digital concept and translate it to TV? But also: Can anyone make a successful linear TV show in 2025? Many have compared Portnoy's role at Fox to something similar to McAfee's — a big-energy presence with a strong connection to young male sports fans. But one media executive said Portnoy also reminded them of ESPN's hiring of conservative pundit Rush Limbaugh on its Sunday morning NFL coverage in the early 2000s. If you watch McAfee's show, he often isn't delivering the most provocative takes the way Portnoy does or Limbaugh once did. (It's often McAfee's guests making news.) Limbaugh lasted just a few episodes after he suggested quarterback Donovan McNabb was overrated because he was Black. But it felt then like Limbaugh was interested in the ESPN platform for his own visibility. This has been the cause of some tension at ESPN with McAfee, too. Is what is good for McAfee always good for ESPN? And in the same vein, will what is good for Portnoy, the executive wondered, always be what's good for Fox Sports?
