Seth McFarlane Is A Fucking Genius!!!!

[Busyman]

I'm sitting here watching this past Sunday's family and he has the 1,2,3,4....12 Pinball cartoon short from Sesame Street.

I can't believe he put that in there.

He has got to be my age.

[GepperRankins]

isn't that reason 4 why family guy sucks?

I have no idea what that means.

[GepperRankins]

it means. that genius, doesn't have to try. he just has to put pop references in the show, people will appreciate it just because they "get it"

[Evil_Monkey]

isn't that reason 4 why family guy sucks?

You are a fucking 5 year old if you say Family guy sucks or just a total loser :D

:blink: I mean have you ever looked at the worlds cartoon Tv rating
scene 2002 its reached 1 to 2 on the list ever time
So something is totaly wrong with you if you say it sucks

or you just have a very bad taste in TV :dry:

Actually Family Guy hits a specific demographic.

It seems to be Americans between 25 and 45.

He may reference Robocop one moment, Family Ties the next.

I wouldn't expect a Briton to get any of the references actually. Bothers me none, however.

That cartoon is quite noice.:D

[Mr. Mulder]

Family guy season 4 is teh ghey - too many references to american television stars that i couldn't give a fook about, every obvious joke is stretched out to fifty million hours long, stewies character has completely turned into some sort of hollywood fag type person, the list goes on.

i used to really like it, but after i watched the first three seasons on dvd too many times, i went rite of it - and the fact that they've now completely butchered the show has made me not want to watch it at all, gave up on it two episodes ago and haven't missed it one bit :snooty:

American Dad is/was the nuts but seems to be going in the same direction <_<

To me, American Dad has gotten 10 times better. I hated it at first.

Either way, I agree. The show isn't geared to toward non-Americans or youngsters.

Well I said that 'cause he references things all the way back to when I was a youngster.

A 13 yr old won't what the hell Family Ties was or that white guy with the afro that did the paintings on public television.

Fucking great show.

[hobbes]

I don't watch the show, but the old hack is that comedy comes full circle.

Comedy is not a great line, but a reference to and an articulation of what has come before.

This may be lost if you have not shared his prior experience and will be added to if you have.

An unexpected reference to something one has thought forgetten by time is really satisfying and a bond therefore formed.

These comedic shows exist on double entredres.

The literal jokes appeal to the kids, the references appeal to their parents.

[Skiz]

The Sesame Street part caught me way off guard. Funny as hell!

The Bill Lumberg (cameo?) reference was hysterical too. :lol:

[Cheese]

Family Guy does seem to reference back too often, I kind of roll my eyes at times. The Sesame Street gag was certainly one of those moments. I still laugh at the show mind, and find it funnier than the stale-as-hell Simpsons. The only reference I didn't get from this weekend's show was "The View" (?). Which was referenced on American Dad as well.

I'd say Seth MacFarlane is a genius in the sense that he has found something that works and he'll keep using it. There is also a certain amount of genius in the fact that he (they really) don't even have to try very hard to write an episode either.

Anyone got a copy of "How To Write Cartoons by Seth McFarlane"?*

*Oh, I ended with my own pop culture reference.

I prefer this kind of pop

south park -> American Dad -> Family Guy :snooty:

south parks just as funny as it's ever been imo, the last ep "Bloody Mary" was brilliant :snooty:


Also really like King Of The Hill because it doesn't have to rely on extreme situations to be funny :)

I'm loosing intrested in South Park. American Dad is growing on me, I hated it to begin with. Family Guy is always great. I feel the same about King of the Hill. The Simpsons was gay, but this season has been great.

[Mr. Mulder]

The Simpsons can be ok, its nothing brilliant (or funny for the most part) but it's something to watch lyke :ermm:


Futurama > simpsons though :dabs:

Yeah but you think poetry is not pish, so your opinion re what constitutes genius is about as valid as an American's.

Using your argument The Sun is a work of genius, it works so they keep doing it. Oh and they don't have to try very hard to write it.

[Cheese]

I was being sarcatsick, the writers on Family Guy are pretty average imo their only nod to genius (in any sense of the word) is that they figured out how to stretch a three-joke show for four seasons. My Kevin Smith reference at the end should have tipped y'all off to that. :snooty:

Took me a while to figure out you meant the newspaper.:(

[GepperRankins]

the simpsons seems to be taking off family guy this season, with the references and stuff. and the jokes that make you go "eesh" like "let's win this war so we can slowly give black people their rights" :dabs:

Sealab 2021 does those type of jokes much better. In fact, with all this celebration of the mediocrity of Seth MacFarlane I had forgotten about the truly great cartoons:

Actually I wasn't being condensationalist.

I was serious. Unless a person is off the age to have seen the show referenced or watched older American TV, you won't get many of the jokes.
Pretty simple.

You guys emit those "you don't get it 'cause it's subtle and you're American" condensation vapors. What I said was rather concrete. There's a fella in my crew from Trinindad that came over here rather "late" and he doesn't get some of the jokes either.

Which is why it will never be considered a work of genius, a mark of genius would be to be accessible to all. Sure, they'll be the fanboy minority that praise it above all else, but a work of genius? I think you have very low standards on that point.

Though it is stale, Matt Groening's Simpsons is streets ahead when you consider each cartoon as a whole. People will still be watching old Simpsons episodes in ten years time whereas Family Guy will be all but forgotten except for when referenced as a "joke" by lazy writers on some future show that relies on pop culture to get a laugh.*


*Kevin Smith already did this on his superior Clerks** cartoon and none of you cnuts got my reference.

**Another show that suffers from an overabundance of pop culture references, but at least they are cleverly done.

PMSL:lol:

The humor lies in a common denominator amongst all humans.

It is not like Osama gets hit in the face by a pie and we call that "genius" because we hate that guy, but it portrays Osama as someone we can all relate to. His agenda differs from ours, but in the end, he exibits the same human emotions/reactions that we all would.

He is not some absolute evil, but a man trying to sell his wares. His "homies" delete his bloopers and out-takes and broadcast the editted image he wants to portray.

Seth has stuff like

At school the hall monitor is ED 209 from Robocop.

PRESENT HALL PASS

Here ya go.

PRESENT HALL PASS

But I did

...you know what happens next...provided you saw Robocop.

Seth presents this stuff in way that the show isn't focused on the references but presents in a passing-as-matter-of-fact way that just goes along with the show.

People come to work talking about the show whereas a show like The Simpsons is not mentioned.

Other shows like American Dad (a Mcfarlane show as well), Boondocks (from the comic strip) and Drawn Together are pretty good as well.

Seth presents this stuff in way that the show isn't focused on the references but presents in a passing-as-matter-of-fact way that just goes along with the show.

I disagree. I reckon it has taken over the show, and there are about a dozen pop culture references per show. I see it as filler for the proper jokes, it must be hard to fill 20 minutes after all.

People come to work talking about the show whereas a show like The Simpsons is not mentioned.
Is this the way we detect the quality of our TV shows now? At my work everyone talks about X-Factor and Strictly Come Dancing.


Boondocks (from the comic strip) .... pretty good as well.
I can agree on that. So that's something.

popliar = good, in america.

thats the problem with a society which judges everything by its monetary value. its also why it will rarely produce true genius. extreme capitalism discourages novel thinking, stick with what works / makes money.

Kurt Vonnegut is a genius.

Nah if I like it...I think it's good.

Pretty simple.

Family Guy, for instance, wasn't popular. Neither are Drawn Together or Boondocks. Call me an early adopter.

Cheese's Geniusity Ratings

Simpsons = Class swot.
Family Guy = Above average kid who amuses other children by making fart noises all the time.
Sealab 2021 = Smart kid who makes better fart noises.
South Park = Stupid kid that thinks he's cleverer than he is.
Monkey Dust = Creepy clever Brit kid who got expelled.
Aqua Teen Hunger Force = Intelligent kid that smokes way too much weed.


See? By this highly scientific manner you can see that there is not a genius amongst them. Though they all seem to be pretty clever.
