Changes: Manatees

Revision as of 20:26, 3 April 2020

The Manatees are the writers of the animated television series Family Guy. Their names are Gretchen, Flubber, Tigger, Pete and Lucy, and hail from the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. They live in a tank filled with idea balls, each containing a noun, verb, adjective, celebrity, etc. They pick five balls and they are placed in a compartment which arranges them into a cutaway joke. If one idea ball is taken away, the manatees stop working, losing money for the series. No matter what the executives do, the manatees refuse to work, even if they offer a raise. They appeared in "Cartoon Wars Part II".

Judging from their location, they are likely West Indian Manatees.

Trivia

A manatee first appeared in Fat Camp.
The Family Guy writers embrace the joke, and even previews for episodes sometimes include the term "This week, the Manatees decided..."

-''Family Guy'' is written by five manatees with idea balls swimming in a tank. Every idea ball has a noun, verb, adjective, celebrity, etc. When they pick one, it and four other idea balls are placed in order in a compartment with five place holders for idea balls to be made into a cutaway joke for the show. If one idea ball is ever taken out of the tank, the manatees stop working and production slows, thus losing money for the ''Family Guy'' corporation. No matter what executives do, the manatees will not work if an idea ball is removed. The manatees somehow know whether an idea ball is taken out, even secretly by anyone. They are presumably underwater mammalian herbivores.
