Am I the only one who is tired of this?

All the new episodes of family guy are a mix between celebrities/celebrities life jokes and olf stuff. Like on this episode when Stewie gets the reward and gets interrupted while he is speaking, and keep telling jokes with celebrities names most people are unfamiliar with. Every episode have a reference of things that was previously shown on family guy, like our new stuff sucks so at every 5 mins of show we will give u something old.
I really love family guy, but the last episodes and seasons are really bad. Miss the old days with the dark humor and jokes/situations u can relate to. Nowadays, is just this bull crap I already described.
Another one of Stewie Griffin's untold stories

We get to see Stewie lying in bed in the style of Citizen Kane. Though instead of dying, it turns out to be a cheap fart joke. Then he attends the Lifetime Achievement Award ceremony, but in the middle of his big speech Brian comes to visit him. When he's told that Peter's dying, he gets to see all his family members for the first time in nearly 50 years.
It's a terrific concept: A look into the future as Stewie has grown old and rich. And since the show hasn't done many fastward stories it doesn't feel like well-trodden territory.
I appreciate the fact that the episode cuts to the chase right away. Since there's no unrelated first act, no subplot and only a small amount of cutaways, most of the attention is directed at having fun with this alternate reality. They get some good mileage out of the future versions of the characters, such as Chris and his talking penis, Meg working as a bulletproof vest tester (which is not only a demeaning job, but incredibly dangerous as well), Cleveland being so gullible he's willing to be in a phone queue for an eternal amount of time and perhaps most unexpectedly, Quagmire now being obsessed with ice cream.
There are also some miscallenous funny gags. The New England accent becoming incomprensible was possibly my favorite joke of all, and the silhouette with Stewie looking like a grown attractive woman changing was bizarre to say the least, but amusing. Global warming also ended up being fake, so we now have a polar bear for president. Priceless stuff.
I didn't really like the twist with the whole family tricking Stewie just to steal his money, especially not Brian being in on it as well, considering he was nice enough to give him an anti-aging pill. However, it's slightly saved by Stewie having an ace up his sleeve too by being prepared that they might trick him and blows up the house.
After that, it's revealed that he stared at an old man kit the whole time.
I feel like this will stand out as one of the season's most memorable efforts by the time it's over.

I've missed out on most of this season but I've been catching up on it latley with hulu and this was my first recent one I watched the day after it came out and I loved it Stewie gets old and we get many great references to classic jokes like surfing bird and a great reference to citizen cane I don't want to spoil much but Stewie as a old man is a interesting concept even though it's been done before but this is different

Man, this episode is shockingly good. The concept is good for starters. Its interesting to see whats changed in the future, even if they don't focus on that aspect too much. I like how they use most of the main cast. They all have some funny moments and entertaining backstories. While i didn't like the ending, the rest of the episode is pretty good.
