(Set to be released immediately after deal finalization and after the stock market closes.)


In a shocking move that has left industry experts scrambling for answers, PiggyMcPig Studios today has announced that they will be acquiring the rights to FOX's Family Guy for an undisclosed amount.

Early rumors suggests that the undisclosed amount, despite being 'extremely low' in the industry, but due to the scenario here, argues that PiggyMcPig Studios has paid "way too much" for a show like 'Family Guy'. Representatives from FOX declined to comment, while a now-deleted internal memo allegedly described the decision as “a pivot toward evolving digital humor trends.”


We are aware of the feedback involving the sale of 'Family Guy'. At this time, we encourage audiences to stay tuned to PiggyMcPig Studios for further clarification. A FOX representative said.

Other sources has claimed that the reason behind this deal was the decline of "family guy funny moments" compilations on the site YouTube, and that the sale was reported to cost $420.69, a real price that that the people who work on the show insisted on.

FOXA was also reportedly to jump 36% after hours due to investors "finally believing there is a god" and "well wishes to PiggyMcPig Studios". PiggyMcPig Studios is not a publicly traded company but data analysts estimate that this would've dented their stock price, if it had one.


A Statement from Michael Rivera, Owner of PiggyMcPig Studios:

Thank you for coming today, yes, the rumors are true and yes, we will take over the entire intellectual property of Family Guy starting today.

Yes I know that this is considered complete corporate suicide, but thankfully I can use the episodes and sell them as a FAST channel for anyone to enjoy for free. And as to people who are concerned for any artificial use, I can assure you that we will NOT be using any AI whatsoever when making Family Guy, but instead use free labor from the comments under the "funny moments" compilations on YouTube since they are really the only target audience that still cares about this.

Also, apologies to Apple and NASA for overshadowing their historic days today, I know that this deal is more important than a 50th anniversary and a historic lunar launch. But to ease any tensions, I do want to say that congratulations to Apple for their historic milestone, and wish the Artemis II crew the safest and best of luck in space.
