- emecks, on 09/13/2008, -9/+30Anyone who's into family guy will love this, I know I do :D
- neod, on 09/14/2008, -1/+2I do. Because to me, these are all the cutaway jokes from Family Guy that we never got to see...
For example:
Peter: Meg, you are just an ungrateful brat, just like that Princess Mario rescued... (cue Mario short)
OR
Brian: Peter, you are just like an adopted kid who doesn't notice the most obvious differences between him and his family... (cue long nipple short)
etc. etc. - Sil369, on 09/14/2008, -0/+3.... "go on"

- macweirdo42, on 09/13/2008, -5/+17Man, it's great - I was more advertising gave me an actual incentive to pay attention. Not that I want more advertising, but if I'm going to be subjected to it, why not make it not be annoying as all get-out?
- DeathfireD, on 09/14/2008, -0/+5Ya, who doesn't want to see a fast food restaurant's mascot get shot down by a bunch of tribal hunters.
- brlmnd, on 09/13/2008, -6/+14I wasn't expecting this to be such a massive success
- RawMeat3000, on 09/14/2008, -6/+7Seriously. It's not *that* good.

- raydeen, on 09/14/2008, -0/+8Well you should have made a note there. It's a huge success.
- warplayer, on 09/15/2008, -0/+2It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.
- SealandRes1, on 09/14/2008, -2/+2Well, this is good news for Google investors, because for the first time in a long time, youtube now actually has potential to turn in profits.
- RawMeat3000, on 09/14/2008, -6/+7Seriously. It's not *that* good.
- sexualwasabi, on 09/13/2008, -11/+18I love Family guy
- Roger, on 09/14/2008, -2/+3It's weird, I like manatees but I hate Family Guy.
- Sil369, on 09/14/2008, -0/+1I love Family guy
- DJIDJI, on 09/13/2008, -4/+28these is just like the short cut scenes in family guy and they're the best bits!
- macweirdo42, on 09/13/2008, -0/+49It finally completes the MacFarlane trilogy. First there was Family Guy. Then there was American Dad, which is like Family Guy without the constant cutaway gags. And now there's this, which is nothing but the cutaway gags.
- Tantelina, on 09/13/2008, -2/+18hopefully we could see a similar thing from trey parker
- Slashered, on 09/13/2008, -2/+9I wish my nipples stuck out five feet in front of me.
- twodollars, on 09/14/2008, -0/+2"Ah! My nipples explode with delight!"
- raydeen, on 09/14/2008, -0/+2"My hovercraft is full of eels."
- Tooch07, on 09/14/2008, -0/+1Look into my nipples of the future!

- mrhogg, on 09/13/2008, -5/+36Man, I'd LOVE it if Seth MacFarlane had a second joke to tell.
- Godlike, on 09/14/2008, -1/+15He's made a fortune off of "remember that time"
- sobe86, on 09/13/2008, -4/+32I call shenanigans on the first few comments.
- BoonTobias, on 09/14/2008, -1/+13yea, the fellacious behavior is very suspicious
- AmyVernon, on 09/14/2008, -2/+8To me, the most interesting thing about this is that here's another high-profile guy taking content directly to the Internet. (Think Will Ferrell, Joss Whedon.) The implications for the industry every time one of these guys does this are heavy.
- adougy, on 09/14/2008, -0/+5it's not comedic genius. it's just his unused family guy jokes.
- MScrip, on 09/14/2008, -1/+2"it's just his unused family guy jokes...." which are pretty darn successful. Remember when FOX put Family BACK on the air after public outcry?
Seth is clearly doing something right... and we're talking about it right now! - adougy, on 09/14/2008, -1/+2family guy ran out of creative juices around Season 4, when it came back on the air. it used to be clever, outrageous and funny. now it's just predictable crap.
some type of basic setup, stretch it out a bit, then end it with awkwardness.

- pingpants, on 09/14/2008, -2/+5Seth McFarlane, you leaped a bunch of mushrooms. So impressed.
- byronshell, on 09/14/2008, -8/+2Impressive comedy and funny animation. Well done, indeed.
- roxgod666, on 09/14/2008, -2/+3Lol in his opening video Seth was like
"I was asked to pick a handful of videos that i like, an assignment which i promptly subcontracted to my assistants and people who work for me, but if i actually were responsible enough to sit down and take the time to do it myself and not be a douche about it, these are the ones i would pick"

- cheeseron, on 09/14/2008, -2/+11for some reason i'm craving burger king
- kombat1337, on 09/14/2008, -2/+29So he took one of his random cut scenes that could have been in Family Guy (probably leading in with Peter saying "...and rescuing people really isn't that rewarding, just look at Mario") and just posted it on YouTube instead. Neat!
- boombye, on 09/14/2008, -8/+3Or you could not just get any clips at all? Would that cheer you up? Whine when there's something, and whine when there's nothing...
- adougy, on 09/14/2008, -1/+12nonono, he's being honest.
you could slap ANY one of those videos into Family Guy by one simple line- if the manatees allow it.- boombye, on 09/14/2008, -1/+2It's better than nothing, and we're already getting the Cleveland show..
- saqer, on 09/14/2008, -1/+11HIs youtube stuff is, meh. He's like telling youtubers well, this stuff isn't as good as the original family guy episodes but I"m gonna go ahead and do it because you've made me into your god and you'll like just about anything I push.
- Godlike, on 09/14/2008, -0/+3It's probably that so many people own family guy now that he can make way more money on other stuff, if people buy into it.
- adougy, on 09/14/2008, -2/+4It's Family Guy without the Family Guy.
- hamdoken, on 09/14/2008, -7/+23Call me a buzzkill, but none of the videos impressed me. Not horrible, but nothing massively funny.
But hey, at least I didn't have to sit through a half an hour of stale television to hear one decent punchline (see Family Guy). - FreshPineSent, on 09/14/2008, -2/+6Great, more ***** flashbacks.
- leif77, on 09/14/2008, -4/+5Whats with all the family guy hate... i remember a time when there were so many fans of the show that it was brought back after cancellation... i love the show and ive always found it funny but it seems like when something is popular enough people stop finding it funny... I bet if arrested development came back and was funnier than ever and actually became popular there would be a ridiculous amount of flamers around to just tear it down... its just sad.
- adougy, on 09/14/2008, -1/+5the thing with family guy is that it ran out of creative juices around Season 4, when it came back on the air. it used to be clever, outrageous and funny. now it's just predictable crap.
- RobotBuddha, on 09/14/2008, -1/+3I really don't see it. Season 1 kind of sucked, and I really can't see any difference between seasons two and three aside from ditching some of the running jokes that had gotten stale. It's always been predictable, in the same way most sketch comedy is. I could see someone saying family guy was never good, but I really don't get the accusations of it having changed in a dramatic way.
- bssj4, on 09/14/2008, -0/+3They started overdoing the jokes right after they came back from cancellation. They overdid it until it wasn't funny anymore.
- mistergoomba, on 09/14/2008, -0/+2Agreed.. even season 3 was so-so compared to seasons 1 and 2
- adougy, on 09/14/2008, -1/+5the thing with family guy is that it ran out of creative juices around Season 4, when it came back on the air. it used to be clever, outrageous and funny. now it's just predictable crap.
- matt487, on 09/14/2008, -1/+1Eh
- RichardCory, on 09/14/2008, -7/+15Too bad those videos sucked.
- prettydoll21, on 09/14/2008, -12/+0My friend recommended me an interesting place #$***richkiss Com ****, where wealthy hot singles looking for someone to enjoy their wealthy lifestyle with. They discuss women, men, dating, life, sports, sex, movies etc.
- Nodaki, on 09/14/2008, -0/+1The baby in the dumpster musical was distasteful and stressful to watch.
I liked what he did with it.
Free to express himself and being massive amounts of money to do so. I want to be him. - yellowfish04, on 09/14/2008, -0/+2AUUGHH, cant -- watch -- any -- MOREEEEUUGHHH
- jgubbe, on 09/14/2008, -4/+1i like sitting here digging, while these stories of intended inspiration pierce into my little existence and somehow weigh upon. This burden is due to either former experiences which either i feel i must somehow return to or that just the articles should be written about me or by me; or is it that I know that it is all so possible that to fully achieve any of these tasks I would lose out on something else or is it that by not just doing of that I am losing out, and is it not completing or achieving accomplishing more than what i have been inspired by or to which I may have dissident with other than self inspiration or following my gut which i am currently dissecting as of this moment trying to figure out why i am here in this chair at this thing of human accomplishments called a computer which is another question of that itself that is of inspiration which is the possible reasoning for the feeling of burden at this time because i associated it with as being of not my self inspiration but that of a collaborated one so which upon why that.............................Oh, dude...........why am I typin........... Man, I am baked. .....water............Got to get more from that guy
- hollywoodphony, on 09/14/2008, -0/+5You think that's bad? What about the time I had...
- pandawho1212, on 09/14/2008, -2/+3that clip was just as bad as new family guy
- cabdirazzaq, on 09/14/2008, -0/+1Simpsons
- mohsenxp, on 09/14/2008, -1/+1This is pretty funny. I heart this.
- abrasion, on 09/14/2008, -0/+6Family guy is the most bi-polar show on television, when it hits the mark it's so incredibly funny and wrong that only Family Guy could pull it off, when it's wrong though, I mean it's painfully embarassing to watch.
Like Peter saying 'ow' for about 90 seconds after hitting his knee, it goes from funny, to over-done, to taking it so far it's funny, back to just lame, in 90 seconds.
I will however never forget the star trek flashback from early season 1, first episode of Family Guy I ever saw, 'captains log' with over-acting by the animated shatner and the pants tearing open, I was literally crying with laughter. - BankyEdwards015, on 09/14/2008, -0/+1I lol-ed
- NeoCortex, on 09/14/2008, -0/+2Is it really "Family Guy inspired"? It's by the same guy, who has a particular style. That's like saying Hot Fuzz was inspired by Shaun of the Dead.
- fuckingusername, on 09/14/2008, -1/+1Seth MacFarlane = brilliant
- whytey, on 09/14/2008, -1/+1Sarah Jessica Parker
- agoldstand, on 09/14/2008, -0/+1bark bark you dumbass..
ah, good times - Mutton, on 09/14/2008, -0/+7I TOO AM ON THE INTERNET AND HOLD AN OPINION REGARDING SETH MACFARLANE, HIS COMEDY, AND HIS PROJECTS.
- Sil369, on 09/14/2008, -0/+3Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
- Spankus, on 09/14/2008, -0/+0Why does he need multiple shows for the exact same shiat?
- Sil369, on 09/14/2008, -0/+1in case they get cancelled one by one
- lukensds, on 09/15/2008, -0/+1Well I am already turned off by this series since this mario skit has already been done with Link and Zelda in robot chicken...

so does everyone think this is really that original?- shipwreck58, on 09/15/2008, -0/+1Seth meet Seth!
- shipwreck58, on 09/15/2008, -0/+1The fact is I could watch hours of shows that were just Peter Griffin's alternate world fantasies!
