After grabbing the rights to Family Guy in 2021, FXX thought a good way to promote its new acquisition while entertaining its audience was with the “Avoid Your Family Family Guy Holiday Marathon” to run December 25 through January 1.

But how to sell it in a way that held true to FXX’s irreverent brand? Working with Los Angeles-based creative agency and frequent collaborator Mocean, Disney-owned FX Networks came up with this clever campaign for “the ultimate couch,” which rocks your baby, placates your chatty neighbor, provides your children with a fake blow-up mother, massages your legs to maybe prevent blood clots and squirts nacho cheese straight into your mouth.

It’s all in service of watching 368 straight episodes of Family Guy, including the complete antics of Peter, Brian, Stewie and the rest of the Griffin family.
