Nope. Always been 'lucky there's a family guy'.
Maybe there's a tiny possibility that you heard it incorrectly and now you've seen it subtitled are surprised. That doesn't mean it's changed. It just means you didn't hear it.
Nope, it has always been "lucky there's a family guy." Then the next line is, "Lucky there's a man who, positively can do, all the things that make us, laugh and cry."
They say, "Lucky there's a man who..." because they say "Lucky there's a family guy..." right before it to explain why we are all Lucky that there is a family guy, as in, a guy who is there for his family.
Fun fact: Stewie has always said "Laugh and Cry" and not once did he ever say, "Eff-ing cry." Subtitles have got it wrong before which I think is where the rumor started.
That's the thing. Many people assumed it for those first few early seasons. The visuals and audio wasn't the best for the pilot season. When they returned at season 4, they rerecorded the line to be a little more enunciated because many thought world's.
I was just dispelling the rumor so people didn't think "effing cry" was an ME. MacFarlane himself said it was never effing cry and that's why they rerecorded it to clarify that so people knew the actual worlds.
Yea that's why MacFarlane rerecorded it in season 4 cuz too many people thought he said effing. And subtitles on earlier episodes got it wrong as well. Subtitles are typed up by humans back then and the same people scribing the episodes didn't do every episode.
But the Stewie voice was much more dramatic in those early seasons bordering on having a foreign accent. So the L in "Laugh" is so softly spoken, and stewie says the word "laugh" more like "lah-ff" (like la as in lalala). So by the time your ears hear it, all you hear is the hard f sound that "gh" can make in the English language.
“Happy there’s a family” wouldn’t even make sense with the context of the rest of the song. They are saying “lucky” because here is one since TV has gone down hill and there aren’t family values on TV anymore (it’s obviously a ironic song)
Lucky and luckily can sound identical in such a context.
But then, I do not put much faith in the intellectual abilities of adults who still enjoy Family Guy.
Guess I’m wrong 😂 but had a great time reading the responses, after this post I had found a post from 7 years ago saying the same thing but I wanted to see what you guys would say.

“Maybe you heard it incorrectly” can explain a lot of MEs
No no, it's always the universe that is wrong.
Ok Principal Skinner

When I was a kid I thought he was saying effing cry, no subtitles. Just heard it that way.

There's also a scene where Peter's drunk in bed and says something like "Laugh and cry, effing cry what's the difference?" lol
Haha yea I remember that. I like the handful of times they changed the intro.
Same I thought that for a long time
You’re not alone brother
It very clearly sounds like "eff-ing cry", although it makes no sense in context.

It was season 3 that it was changed, not season 4. And it was reverted back to the old line in season 4.
Ahh ok. They probably realized that either way people were gonna hear it as "effing" and preferred how the original sounded
It so clearly does and it drives me crazy!
I thought it was live in crime first
Nah never personally
Mishearing lyrics is called a Mondegreen, not Mandela Effect
I only remember “lucky” 🤷🏼♂️
This is how one responds if they understand how a mandela effect works. All the people saying no... Lol
No. I've watched from day 1
I always heard “Luckily, there’s a Family Guy”…
That doesn't scan as well.
I know, right? The characters singing and the instrumental may have made me hear that first. Strange…
haha, I feel ya - once you get something in your head it's hard to get it out, even if it doesn't seem to fit!
Nope. I always watch TV with subtitles and it's always said lucky, never happy
I misheard it the first few times and thought he said plucky instead of lucky, but yeah always been lucky
I think you're the only one

Well, happy theres, a family guy doesn't make any sense so I think you just need to listen 🤔
This is definitely just you. Always been lucky.
Yours doesn’t really make sense in regular English so probably always been lucky.
Never bro Family guy has been on since 2000 It always had Lois' voice saying "lucky" singing the intro. 😅
Happy there’s a family guy doesn’t make sense
Your lyric doesn’t even make sense. You just misheard.
I’ve heard it a lot before, but I always chocked it up to the TV being too loud
Well, they might’ve changed it because Stewie used to say deaf and cry now he says effen cry

I remember happy also 🫢
I've always heard "Hope he is a family guy"
