Your view on Seth MacFarlane cartoons

So Seth MacFarlane, creator of Family Guy, has just done this Super Mario sketch.

I like Family Guy and American Dad. Some episodes, newer Family Guy in particular, can be a bit on the off side but most of the time they are very enjoyable.

I think it's great that he's doing this little sketches on pop-cultural references, which is what he's best at.

I think its funny to be honest.

I love Family Guy, I hate American Dad, and I think his comedy is overall very funny

I love Family Guy and American Dad. Can't touch Southpark, though, but that is a whole other discussion. Seth is funny.

"I think it's great that he's doing this little sketches on pop-cultural references, which is what he's best at."

I think Seth McFarlane's stuff is very funny when it's at its best. I think everyone I know was pretty much blown away upon first seeing Family Guy. However I do sometimes find that his jokes can drag on or get a bit worn out.

hilarious

Family Guy was good before he changed the format and killed any plot in any show he makes.

Seth MacFarlane always pulls references out of pop culture things that were forgotten ages ago, and makes them funny again.

For that, I respect him.

That scene could have been from any of his "here are some people having an unexpected awkward conversation" scenes.  I liked the first year of Family Guy I saw but it gets tired fast.

I love Seth MacFarlane and everything he creates.

His shows are okay, but they are not definitely the first shows I turn on if they are on.

I think anything hes done has always stood in the shadow of South Park...it completely eclipses Family Guy and any other basically the same show he keeps copying and pasting with just different backgrounds..some of it is funny but not much to me.

I think i'd have more respect for this new cartoon thing he's doing if Robot Chicken hadn't already done it so much better.

People who compare South Park to Family Guy are rather misled. The shows are completely different and give you different experiences. South Park aims for Satire on current issues while still going for the shock value. Family Guy doesn't require much of a plot or thinking for that matter. Which is fine and i love it. It's just a bunch of hilarious sketches loosely connected and it works. Comparing the two shows is just stupid.

Yea it isn't worth it since Southpark is so much better.  On a just story level and comedy wise"

LOL that sketch is awesome. I like Seth's style of comedy.

American Dad's kind of meh in my eyes, but Family Guy's pretty good. At least it is most of the time.
Some of the newer episodes I think have been hit and miss. But I think he hits more then he misses, so tis all good.

Seth MacFarlane is just the most unfunny person ever. Family Guy tried too hard to be wacky and offensive so it just fails all the time and American Dad is pretty much the same show only with some awful attempt at being a political satire too. Also, he totally ruined the character of Johan Krauss in Hellboy II by playing every line as if it was a gag in that stupid German accent.

I liked the first 3 seasons of Family Guy but when they brought it back it was just so unfunny I can't believe its so popular.

IMO, The Simpsons are way better than Family Guy, American Dad, or South Park.

Ugh. I didn't think that sketch was funny at all. All he does is take Super Mario and turn it into a really drawn-out unfunny conversation in which Mario is disappointed with Peach's reaction after he saves her. That's basically what half of the jokes in Family Guy are, with the other half being, "Hey, remember that time Peter --(insert ridiculously unrealistic flashback involving an 80's celebrity that no one remembers here)--?". American Dad is more of the same, and it just blows my mind that he is making another Cleveland Show spinoff. If you want quality cartoon comedy, then go buy some mid-90's to early millennium Simpsons or King of the Hill seasons.

thier funny but those sketches seem like they were made in few minutes.

I like his shows, he does a great job with pop culture references.

I like Family Guy and American Dad their funny and entertaining but they aren't South Park entertaining, i don't find myself going back to watch Family Guy repeats like i do South Park repeats....

But that being said i could just be getting old and set in my ways :S

Family Guy has the same humor as The "movie" movies. They don't make a joke just make a pop culture reference and people laugh cause they know what there talking about.

This sketch isnt his best work.

That was actually pretty funny.

I enjoyed that sketch. Especially the invincibility star part.

His comedy is alright, but really to me its like once you see some of his stuff, you have seen all of his stuff. And if he tries to change it, its really really dumb.
