I like Seth MacFarlane a lot.  Dude seems like a great guy, seems to be having the time of his life, and despite what his cartoons may make you believe, he comes across as a super intelligent guy.

Heck, even during an episode of the Adam Carolla Podcast, I realized - he and I may not be that different mentally.  We have a lot of the same flaws, we have a lot of the same barriers.

And hey, I still find myself watching Family Guy/The Cleveland Show/American Dad.  Sure, none of those shows are really ever going to win an award for their writing, but even with their not so great hit/miss ratio, when one of those shows hit for me, it’s out of the park.

So, when I watch the above video, the humor for me is in two places.

First, CollegeHumor nailed the MacFarlane tropes to the freaking wall.

Second, it’s not really his fault.  If Fox offered you $100 million to basically do the same show for 90 minutes a week - wouldn’t you take it?
