Seth MacFarlane (creator of Family Guy and American Dad!) gives his advice to Harvard graduates as himself, Peter Griffin, Stewie Griffin, and Glenn Quagmire. See parts 2-4 for the characters' speeches.

This was uploaded twelve years ago. Bush was still president. Family Guy was still funny. Let that sink in.

[@kertackle]

Seth saved my family. The episode of family guy with peter needing a kidney transplant was a sore point for me as my 12 year old was being treated for possible kidney disease. But the poem meg wrote gave me hope and the strength to hold my family together. Thank you Seth.

[@TitantheWise]

I love how his speaking voice is the voice of brian

[@puddingdsi]

Seth's just so cool, effortlessly funny, I love him!

[@ghosttroop]

Seth, that was brilliant! Best speech i've ever heard. Humour is so uplifting. Even on a grey, rainy day, that entire audience was having a ball. Great job! You're invited to my next party, but bring your own weed.

[@LiraelRyelle]

He is one of the smartest, funniest, most brilliant people who ever lived, all hail Seth McFarlane, the creator of genius

[@BiancaWong]

Looked it up, apparently they have Scrotie for a mascot.

[@oreoswirl7]

" Your grandchildren will boast impressive salaries and trust funds, my grandchildren will owe money to the FCC!" Freaking Awesome!!!

[@runesc8pe]

seth's normal voice rlly sounds like brian in family guy but a lighter version hes still funny in person

[@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself]

"My grandchildren will owe money to the FCC" - LOL So funny, and probably so true.

[@hardcoreocealot]

this guy created my favorite childhood show cow and chicken

[@ashcatchum]

Don't let Seth's magnetic charm fool you, all I gotta say

[@BanzaiBush]

Seth MacFarlane is my hero.

[@jaydoug11]

brians voice is seths natural speaking voice

[@lokeyere]

awh man seth must of spent ages preparing this speech seth is amazing fairplay:D

[@papercoversrock2]

I would love to comment on Seth's speaking and jokes, but I keep getting distracted by the guy sitting behind him, laughing his pants off. LOL x

[@mengtingw]

it's a nice speech, i like it - the show he creates actually makes me think much higher of american

[@vardsmith]

He's actually a very good actor.

[@SteelersDrummer]

i like how he laughs at his own joke

[@island2Mystery]

seth is awesome. and i agree about that guy who laughs in the background. he makes me laugh everytime, too.

[@Kweku1706]

Seth sounds like he's playing Brian the dog.

[@hassamdaudi]

the guy sitting right behind him is such a nerd....lol....Seth Rocks..

[@DiegoBerlin]

Seth MacFarlane really grinds my gears!

[@meldme]

This guy has possibly the best range of voices in animation. But he does sound a little like Brian in real life.

[@cantcount0]

His voice is amazing. lol

[@zomferic]

he wasn't lying about the mascot, he's telling the truth :o

[@cartercool90]

thats why his favorite character is Brian. he even has a picture of Brian next to his name on his office door. he also voices Stewie and >Peter

[@PhelanVelvel]

I love Seth Macfarlane. If I listen to this without looking at the video I just visualise Brian speaking. >_>

[@fourstring182]

This is what Harvard tuition gets you

[@diezul08]

SETH YOU ARE THE BEST !!!!!

[@ashebull123]

It would be funny to see Seth Macfarlane as Brian argue with Seth Macfarlane as Quagmire.

[@EricRipperOfficial]

the guy in the back loves him

[@bombdiggity8179]

Love it! Awesome video! Can't wait to see what else you guys come out with.

[@PooButt3]

Harvard is so lucky..I love Seth MacFalane!

[@stiskavac]

The guy behind Seth seems so happy. :)

[@EmeraldFlame96]

I was REEAALLLYY happy when I realised he WASN'T kidding about "Scrotie" xD !!

[@Fuckoffgoogle25]

he's a talented guy, but he strikes me as someone who has never been unconditionally loved

[@guruofrock]

how ridiculously RIDICULOUS is it that he calls out a Harvard grad named Barry becoming president in 2006.

[@nocchipasta]

his voice is so husky

[@MahikaPavithran2106]

he slips into Peter mode now and again xD

[@Nickfattyfat120965]

man i wish i had his talent he can do so many voice's :)

[@azgh11]

Wow, he's good.

[@closemyeyesandleap1]

What a legend

[@Kaixfikwind]

If I had a penny for every pixel on this video, I would have 2 pennies.

Incredible he didn't bring something to drink with him never seen that hehe Love your show Seth both Family Guy and American Dad

[@j4w7]

When I close my eye I see Peter giving the speech...

[@Julian24151]

I thought this was youtube not a goddammed high school reunion

[@Y0urHumbleNarrat0r]

"Thats what you sound like..." Fuckin lol'd.

[@enjoyitbro]

lol that was a hell of a lot funnier than the last Family Guy episode

[@0ldar]

at 2:36, that girl picks her nose with one hands and (with some sort of magic) eats it with the other!! amazing...

[@adamjayc]

yeah we're good dude! fuck this is the best ending to an argument ever!!

[@theconn234]

he's like mike Myers in Austin Powers, he's plays half the parts... not that I'm complaining... Family Guy is amazing!

[@norton23jer]

i love the guy behind him

[@GhouliaLou]

His voice. Oh my. Yummmmm!

[@MoonOvIce]

The guy criticizes absolutely everything that is society, he seems to hate it and he really points out all the stuff he sees wrong with it. That's why I like him.

[@saix1498]

lmao "my grandchildren will owe money to the fcc" classic :D

[@aeckstrand003]

the funny thing is, is that the road island school of design is an amazing school....people sometimes forget that it is a human who teaches you... and you can pay twelve thousand or fifty thousand to get the SAME kind of education.

[@sidearmsalpha]

Probably the only guy I look forward to hearing on Loveline.

[@daf83]

It amazes me that an establishment like Harvard stooped this low.

[@GamrDan]

The hands of a prison doctor...... jesus, Seth is hilarious!

[@Yazzielyt]

He does the voices of Peter Griffin, Quagmire, Brian and Stewie, he is also the creator of family guy but he uses his own natural voice when he does Brian, just a tad lowered.

[@aGothicStory]

you know at this point i think she's smoking a joint. Harvard you lovely bastards

[@DorothyOfOzManhwa]

I love Harvard football as well as Family Guy! That Seth guy also has a great sence of hummor.

[@WesTMusik905]

He doesn't change his voice for Brian's, it's his own voice.
