Seth MacFarlane's Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy

In 2008, before The Cleveland Show, Seth MacFarlane made an entire 50-episode web series based on cutaway gags removed from Family Guy. Despite having the same professional TV animation budget as Family Guy, it does not have to abide by any network standards and it can have as many curse words as they want.

I think most of this is okay if you're old enough to enjoy it. Some are funny, but there are also some disturbing shorts with blood and sex, and there are also 2 shorts with poop and 2 shorts with nudity. It really depends on what sense of humor you have, but there are also a few shorts that are too cruel for most people to find them funny. My most favorite episodes were the Scotsman yelling at stupid movie characters, the game show about naming that animal penis, the gay knight, the glass house, Barry Gibb singing on the roller coaster, and 10 things you never hear, like "Stressed Eric is a comedic masterpiece!" That's just 1 I thought up myself. It wasn't 1 of those things they said.

It must've been a painful evening for the crowd that went to the release of this trash-bucket. I'm a huge fan of Family Guy and American Dad. I think it's some of the most brilliant cartoon humor around. This, however was base, crude, sophomoric and flat-out embarrassing. If I was at the premiere, I'm sure I would have had to leave. I was truly deeply shocked at the difference in tone between FG, AD, and this. Also, Seth M. continually, obnoxiously jumps up and down on, and smashes the toes of Christian believers with ever-present offensive references to Jesus and God. God in bed with his "girlfriend" and because it's His birthday, he wants to skip the condom. NOT FUNNY. Let's see you make a caricature of Mohammed. See what happens. You do that to Christians because you know they won't fight back. McFarlane is his funniest when he just sticks to good ol' crazy "generally-offensive" humor, where every stereotype just gets whacked. Equal-opportunity discrimination, if you will.

I actually could not agree more. I find the you tube clips funnier since they are not as apparently offensive as the DVD versions. E.g. "Haha! Douchebags!" is way more funnier than "Haha! Assholes" (which isn't that funny at all). I am a huge fan of Family Guy and American Dad but Cavalcade took away all the mystery. It is equivalent to Cartman getting away with all his profanity. It just wouldn't be as funny. Now don't get me wrong, I laughed out loud at several occasions during Cavalcade but I never felt that subtle "spark". This has made me realize that networks actually can make a comedy series "better" only by being restricted to government influences.

But, would I buy the DVD? I would most definitely do.

Seth MacFarlanes Cavalcade. Well what can I say it's Seth MacFarlane,a comedic genius for todays and yesterdays generation people who don't find his sense of Humour funny, don't have one.

These clips are what lots of people are thinking but no one has said aloud.

These ideas, and i say ideas as they are not beliefs, could make the next big thing in cartoon animation, for no real person has the balls to say it.

If your still unsure if you would like this show? "Family Guy" (127 episodes, 1999-2009) "American Dad!" (79 episodes, 2005-2009)

If you enjoyed just 1 episode of these than his humour is for you and I would recommend this for you

I'm a fan of Family Guy and found these skits to be extremely funny. Seth MacFarlane is infamous for coming up with fart jokes and/or crude sex jokes randomly, but this collection of his extra cutaway gags are hilarious. Don't expect a brilliant story 'cause there is no plot. It's just a bunch of random skits that MacFarlane came up with. For that, I respect what he's done.

If you're expecting something with logic, turn away. This collection is very funny, although not for everyone. I think MacFarlane tackles the parody and satire very well, the punchlines usually hit home-run. Take it for what it is and you'll have a straight hour laughing frequently.
