Humor based on the September 11 attacks

Domineau said he started the script to show "an exercise in bad taste" to a student in a class. The script shows how the characters of "Seinfeld" would do after the attacks: Jerry thinks that dust from the destroyed towers is hurting his food. Elaine must keep dating a 9/11 survivor. George makes people believe that he is a first responder and Kramer tries to get a box cutter back from one of the terrorists. "The Guardian" said that the script perfectly shows how "Seinfeld"s characters would deal with 9/11.

Bush starts a civil war that causes nuclear war. Brian and Stewie must go back to the past to stop the civil war. When they stop it from happening, they high five. Stewie says that it would look bad "out of context" (taking away the context to change its meaning). "Time" thought that the episode was made "too soon" but said ""Family Guy" viewers live for 'too soon' moments, no matter how sensitive the material." "Entertainment Weekly" also thought that "Family Guy" had "finally gone too far" (go over a limit) and "Deadline" said that it went "past the Fox standards and practices".

In 2016, Miracle Mattress (a mattress store in San Antonio) made a commercial with a 9/11 theme to sell mattresses. The commercial shows the store owner's daughter and two other men. In the commercial, she says "What better way to remember 9/11 than with a Twin Towers sale?" Two tall mattresses are behind the men to look similar to the twin towers. She says "Right now you can get any size mattress for a twin price!" The two men fall on the mattresses and make both of them fall. She screams and says "We'll never forget".
The commercial made many people write angry messages to the store on their Facebook page. Mike Bonanno (the owner of the store) said that he did not know about the commercial until it was first shown to people. He made an apology on Facebook and closed the store down. Miracle Mattress was given negative reviews on Google and Yelp. The store opened again a week later.
