Except, even early on (or at least before "Screams of Silence") "Family Guy" was incredibly dark in its humor. Peter regularly abused Meg and others, and had blew up a children's hospital, Quagmire was a rapist, who in one scene raped Marge Simpson, before killing her alongside her entire family, Stewie killed a lot of people, Bertram tried to destroy the entire universe just to kill Stewie, etc.

Furthermore, Jeffery originally wasn't that serious. In an earlier episode where he appeared named "Jerome the New Black" his abused wasn't played that serious, it wasn't until "Screams of Silence" where it was played completely serious.
