Animated U.S. television show "Family Guy" has spoofed Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin by lampooning him as a macho spymaster who entraps enemy spooks and lights cigarettes with a Kalashnikov rifle.The subversive award-winning show, which has featured bestiality, incest and stars Brian the talking dog, centers around one-year-old Stewie who speaks in an upper class English accent and abhors his middle class American parents.
The third episode of its eighth season, "Spies Reminiscent of Us" premiered on October 11 on U.S. television channel Fox, and features Stewie and Brian on an adventure in Russia.
Putin horrifies the duo, along with Hollywood actors Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd, whose animated characters are voiced by the real-life stars.
The episode, which also shows Stewie turning into the ubiquitous Russian nesting doll, has sprung up on several popular Russian media sites and was praised by viewers for its humor value.
Putin's spokesman could not be reached for comment.

I just watched it, and that has got to be the least funny way to include Putin in your show.
Family Guy fails.

Here's a clip from the show. I didn't find it very funny to be honest, apart from the Russian cutaway gag.

Love the title. Good that they've got Chase and Akroyd from the original "Spies Like Us" to take part.
