Rides-A-10-Speed-Everywhere Guy

Family Guy
S6:E8
"Peter's Daughter"

About 1 minute in The town is getting unseasonable rains to the point of flooding. News Chanel 5 is there to interview the man on the street. This guy mentions how bicycling is a great way to stay in shape. Simple. However, he repeats how bicycling is a great way to stay in shape at every topic change, even when he discloses that he has rectal cancer--information that was not asked.

Family Guy pokes fun at everyone and everything so it would be hard to say that FG is debasing people on bikes (or bikes), and it is funny. But is it the kind of funny that has a deeper layer that perpetuates a mind set?
