[@andrewjensen1146]

I am a huge fan of the first few seasons of Family Guy, but even at its peak it never came close to being as relevant or recognized as the Simpsons. My comment is a few years late and mostly a repeat of what has already been said. toddwschneider.com/posts/the-simpsons-by-the-data/ Peak episodes of the Simpsons had 33.6 million viewers while Family Guy's peak is at around 5 million viewers. That is not an entirely fair comparison, as all of television ratings are down, especially the Simpson's. The SImpsons was at its peak when network television was a corner stone of American culture.

I have a theory on how to make short Cameos work, at least in some cases. Take the cameo actor out, and think; "Would this scene work even without the cameo?"

[@mckenzie.latham91]

or have the cameo actor at least do something or have an influence on the plot, don't just have them there as a cameo for simply spectacle.

[@92brunod]

I don't know, there are ways to do it without the scene being funny on itself or influencing the plot directly. Vanisher being played by Brad Pitt in Deadpool 2 was the joke on itself for example and it worked. Matt Damon playing Loki on a play set up by Loki (as Odin) worked too. In none of those cases the scene would have been funny without the cameo because the cameo was the joke, neither it advanced the plot in any way. And yet, it worked.

Basically getting rid of the first 3 X-Men movies and are now able to reboot the modern day X-Men story in a way people will like more than they did with the first 3, while bringing back characters they killed like Jean Grey and Cyclops that were pretty essential to the X-Men story. That's how I took the ending at least. They made sure to keep the wolverine adamantium plot lined up with their new alternate universe.

[@spookycookies19]

Family Guy was a pretty good idea at first (I'm talking way back in the 2000-era) but I don't think Seth really had the material to make the show actually last as long as it actually has. That comedic well dried up long, long ago. The more he stays in the spotlight, the more it becomes apparent that he's kind of a hack. His humor is completely flat and shallow. Watch the bit at the interview where she mentions "juggles balls", his bursting out laughing was literally the only reaction he showed in those interview bits. The rest was him looking at the floor...probably laughing to himself about balls. It's fine to have a juvenile sense of humor...but ya have to have more than *just* a juvenile sense of humor, ya know.

[@pmalone117]

I think American Dad proves he isn't a hack at all. He can write quality characters and make you care about them, and actually have real jokes as well. Stan is a layered character who feels like a real person. So does Haley. They aren't caricatures of personality types like the characters of Family Guy. Roger is probably his most genius work yet. I think a lot of people don't give him enough credit for how great American Dad is because they have a bias against Family Guy (understandable). I enjoyed Family Guy for what it was when I was an 18 year old kid. It still hits that joke every 10ish seconds mark pretty well, but it's gotten tired. It wouldn't have survived if its original seasons hadn't been brilliant enough to warrant a return after DVD sales went through the roof. I think Seth is a very talented guy, and though I'm not as big a fan of his movies (Ted was okay, didn't care for the West movie), I still think he's a great 'creator' as it were. If he had to do Family Guy and the Cleveland Show to give us American Dad and all of Roger's myriad characters and personalities, then it was all worth it.

pmalone117 Well, I believe Seth left Family Guy, as a writer, after the 4th season or something (I think it was supposed to be cancelled, it wasn't, he came back but didn't write for them) And he didn't write American Dad, he just does some of the voices, and I think he co-produces it.

pmalone117 Actually American Dad is better than family guy because Seth gives more control over to the other people of the show than himself.

"I think American Dad proves he isn't a hack at all. He can write quality characters and make you care about them, and actually have real jokes as well. Stan is a layered character who feels like a real person. So does Haley." lol have you watched the show lately? they've had at least five to eight episodes where either one and or the whole family practically comes out and says they hate each other and or are pure sociopaths, and then come to accept themselves as a family who care about each other...at least eight episodes of that same plot... i believe they kill multiple people now with barely any thought or care, in fact such things are played for joke and or don't matter to the characters at all... they've been shown multiple times to be irredeemable sociopaths and just saying you admit you're not perfect or that you are sorry doesn't mean you're a good person. not too mention Seth does very little writing on american dad anymore as well. "Roger is probably his most genius work yet." Lol genius, sorry we already have an Eric cartmen and that was south park... Rodger is basically the plot device character...when you need a cheap joke have Rodger put on one of his alias, when you need some forced drama and or conflict, have Rodger be an asshole who the family should have killed by now... i mean there are so many inconsistencies and continuity errors in the show... in some episodes stan and the family reveal they hate Rodger, then the next episode they're Rodgers biggest fans and good friends and close, whenever plot and or contrivance demand their personalities, motivations and social stature changes...

[@notimportant3686]

well seth came up with the IDEA... but he's really only written a handful of episodes in his entire life... maybe the writing staff has run out of ideas or it's just too much of the same... nothing lasts forever

Jay was trying so hard not to laugh at the pants thing.

[@ElDocBruh]

I lost it at "That's why you're not on the show".

Missed opportunity to say "x-men: days you pooped your pants"

Spotted Cow + Green Screen = 👌🏻

I hope you guys are classy enough to invite beautiful Maria Salas over to your show. After all, with all the canuck sci-fi techs you keep bringing on, it would be a nice change of pace to bring a Spanish Canadian Film Critic who is big enough to love both Dracula and Seth McFartland.

[@jordonez42]

I am POSITIVE I laughed harder at the Maria Salas reveal than I would have if I had seen this shitty, shitty movie

[@SyndicateBrink]

I just love how sort off invested in the series as you actually acknowledged that the Sentinels powers were more Rogue-ish. She had a bigger role but was cut from the film. She will however have a play a big part in the Rogue Cut
