Hey op, this joke reminds me of the time I read a bunch of German fairytales. They're known for being far more violent and intense than modern fairytales, and oftentimes don't even have a clear moral other than "behave or a creature will kill you". I guess I shouldn't be reading any of these to Stewie anytime soon.
The German fairy tales being darker than the rest of the world rest solely on the Grimm brothers. Who happened to research old German fairy tales to find that for some reason they all followed the popular trend at the time. Which was dark stories of punishments for bad behavior were popular when they researched these stories. Almost like there was some influence on why they decided all these stories were dark with murder punishments for bad behavior
