It's not even that it's edgy. Its jokes are by and large just lame. Too many LOL, SO RANDOM non-sequiturs that feel like the writers filled out a mad-lib. Too many "let's drag out something unfunny and hope that makes it funny" instances. Too many moments of characters stammering awkwardly at each other because of some misunderstanding between them. I can't stand it and I have no idea how so many people found this show funny.
Right with you on all of this, brother. And it’s not like other shows don’t suck as bad - it’s that this show sucks so bad and yet it’s got this cult of doofs who will swear up and down that this lame shit is the pinnacle of comedy.
I can promise you that 90% of Family Guy fans don't actually watch the show, they just watch the "best of" compilations that litter the internet.
Because its style of writing made it perfect for that "cut and clip" industry to give you entire jokes without needing the rest of the episode. And so they can focus on the best parts without their opinion being tainted by the rest.
