Macfarlane's horrid attempt to copy Robot Chicken

seems to me this is Macfarlanes absolutely failed attempt to come up with a short sketch program similar to Robot Chicken. This is an absolute 0 out of 5, what a waste of resources. I watched several episodes on Youtube, thinking that maybe one might be semi-entertaining. Well that didn't happen.

Every single one was boring, vulgar and pointless. Not to mention totally unfunny. I'm so sick of Seth Macfarlane using his cartoons and sketches to voice his opinions to the TV viewer. On Family Guy all he does is use Brian to propagate his social agenda and political beliefs. This show he picks out the celebrities that he dislikes and disses them, or talks about the movies he hates.

The scene with the two ducks watching "Meet The Parents" was the worst. Every sktech he did before that i can sort of see how Macfarlane might have found it funny, even though it did absolutely nothing for me, but the duck sketch - i cannot figure out where there was humor in it at all. Seriously, i don't even know if he meant it to be funny. If he did, that's incredibly pathetic.

I love Robot Chicken. Albeit sometimes really crude, that show is incredibly clever. This show completely fails by comparison.

How is it that television networks will cancel pure gold like Futurama, but keep this garbage on the air?

I see where you are going but i don't think the networks even touched this, it was all on youtube.

I really like American dad, not sure why they have to push the envelope to completely amorality, I try to like shows such as: family guy, robot chicken, and this but they seem to cross my line. Think of how clean television was 40 years ago compared today (how we mocked the Christians), there's no sign of any stopping (eventually they will cross your line to which the youth will mock you l), eventually we will reach a point at which nothing is off limits.

Because kids from 10-16 like hardcore sex jokes and overuse of violence.
I asked today who's better "Simpsons or Family Guy"

They all say Family Guy.
The're all ignorant and don't know what's good comedy.
OH! and they all hate Futurama.

i quite enjoy family guy over simpsons. but this cavalcade is just more disgusting than funny (sex scenarios, penises, fred *beep* etc.) this seriously appeals to 12 - 16yr olds who only like crude humor

As much as i love Family Guy (Not a big American Dad fan i'm afraid) I admit that most of these sketches suck. (The Mad Cow Disease one was the worst), and Jeff Garcia512, I'm 16 and i like Futurama, and i can't wait for the new episodes to come out. I Don't like the simpsons anymore though due to the awful new episodes (Seriously there was one episode where homer gets on a plane, meets celebrities...and that's it!) So don't say That all 16 year olds like sex jokes and violence based on outdated observaions you ignorant ass.

Ignore Me!!!!!!!

Since we're venting pointlessly, Futurama is overrated crap. And Simpsons, though once great, have outstayed their welcome.

They should bring back Leave it to Beaver. Now there was some good, clean comedy! Gee willakers did I enjoy watching that! But sometimes my father would get sore at me because he wanted to watch the news before evening bible study. That, and because Mrs Cleaver's dress was too short and sometimes you could see her ankles. Poor woman is probably burning in hell for that one!
