Donald Trump may have effectively locked up the Republication nomination for the upcoming presidential election, but he doesnt appear to haveFamily Guys vote.
A for-your-consideration mailer that was sent to Emmy voters this week features series patriarch Peter Griffin looking like the candidate complete with the Trumpian comb-over hairdo and orange-y skin asking: As long as were voting for dumb loudmouths, can I get an Emmy?
The animated Fox comedy is known for its outrageous Emmy campaigns: In 2009, the show went afterthen-veteran comedyThe Office; in 2010, Peter Griffin was featured as the title character fromPreciousabovethe slogan Vote For Us Or Youre Racist.2012s plea addressed voters asbloated, overprivileged Brentwood Jews.
The show has never won an Outstanding Animated Program Emmy, though it has been nominated three times (2000, 2005, 2006).
From 2009 through 2012, the show switched over to compete in the Outstanding Comedy Series category instead, earning a nomination in 2009, making it the first animated show to earn a nod in that category sinceThe Flintstonesdid in 1961.
Family Guyhasnt taken on Trumps campaign in this seasons episodes, though it has joked about him previously, and creator Seth MacFarlane did host the Comedy Central Roast of Donald Trump in 2011.
