Seth MacFarlane Contest As Horrible And Unfunny As Everything Seth MacFarlane Does
Seth MacFarlane is the creator of Family Guy and American Dad and most recently Seth MacFarlane's Cavalcade of Comedy, an online series in which he barfs out all the jokes he couldn't use in his previously mentioned two projects, as if those two shows had a particularly high standard of joke quality to begin with. His shows are farty and redundant and unfunny, and this has made him a millionaire. More power to him. Seriously. You can't hate a guy for being a millionaire. He didn't unfairly create millions of dollars. He created garbage, and then that money was given to him. Blame yourselves. Man, there are so many crappy millionaires out there, you guys. I'm just waiting for crappymillionairegum.com to launch and then I'm out of here.
Anyway, as a promotion for Seth MacFarlane's Cavalcade of Comedy, which is sponsored by Burger King, Seth MacFarlane is holding what has to be the single worst contest in the history of contests. Not only is it miserable and sad and the worst, but it also encapsulates everything about Seth MacFarlane.
It's the "Buy Seth Dinner Sweepstakes." Click to enlarge.
One lucky "winner" will be granted the opportunity to BUY SETH MACFARLANE DINNER AT BURGER KING. Not only is everything about that the worst, but the way this contest is described, with the constant refrain of "you still end up on top," just UGH. Stop saying that, this contest. You don't end up on top. You end up at the very, very bottom. I would buy Seth MacFarlane dinner at Burger King if he would QUIT.
You can enter here. Or you can end it here.

"in the end, you're still a power bottom."
i would have liked that (truer) statement better.
Score = 1
Oh, come on. Stewie and Brian are two of the smartest characters in the history of animated TV. Seth and I are about 3 months apart in age. Much of his inside jokes and cultural references are specific to people who spent a lot of their youth watching TV after school in the early 80s. If you're outside of that age window, much of the show won't work for you. Seth is a smart guy. His humor is intentionally crude and offensive sometimes, but I'm much happier to see him get $100 million than any of the worthless hacks in the top 40 music charts.
Score = -20
Indeed, Gabe is in his early 50's and Lindsay is still a tween, so Family Guy is clearly lost on them. Me, I entered the contest because a Whopper value meal is a small price to pay for the opportunity to personally tell Seth MacFarlane he sucks.
Score = 7

You know what real integrity is? Spurning all those high paying, sell out writing gigs to take a job at a sort of popular blog where you can take it to the man every day. You go boy, you're living the dream.
Score = -7
Are you fucking HIGH????? Seth is definitely cocky and way full of himself, but FAMILY GUY IS THE SHIT. It's like Russell Crowe, he's an asshole, but Gladiator STILL ROCKS.
The contest is lame, but not as lame as pretending that Family Guy sucks.
Score = -8
untrue. Family Guy at best could have seen as fresh and funny when it first aired or (maybe if you're verryy generous) during the first two seasons. The humor quickly got stale and the jokes, even when you get the references, are not close to funny. Most of what he relies on now is shock value. And whatever tiny enjoyment could be sucked from any of the episodes was completely destroyed by the "Cartoon Wars" episodes of South Park.
Score = 7
Did you know that Seth McFarlane is dating Amanda Bynes? Now thats the worst.
Score = 2
Of course I'm entering. Where else could I buy food and then immediately throw it at a complete hack?
Score = 7
Seth McFarlane, the unreliable car of comedy!
Score = 1
Remember when everyone was like "Oh my God, haha Family Guy is so new and fresh and hysterically funny" and then those people looked around and saw other people saying the same thing and thus changed their original comment to "Pssh. Family Guy is so lame and predictable and lame and predictable. You guys are sheep. BAAAH" Presumably after uttering that statement those people then turned on their iPod and listened to The Shins because "no one realizes how cool The Shins are. Except me. I rule."
Score = -6
I hate it because the jokes are bad. I loved it when I was 17; so did a lot of other people. now a bunch of people still like it and I find it stupid and boring. my sense of humor evolved and family guy did not.
Score = 4
are you trapped in the year 2001? yes, back then family guy used to be funny and the shins used to be cool. a lot has changed, my friend...
Score = 3
Hating Family Guy is SO Indie Rock.
Score = -5
I liked Family Guy when it first came out, but that was mainly because I was eleven. Since then I've always assumed that that was the audience that the show was originally intended for.
And yes, hating Family Guy makes you a pretentious indie asshole sheep zombie out of touch elitist intellectual something or other.
Jesus Christ, I can't wait for the spoof movie hate backlash.

Brian and Stewie Griffin > Radiohead > Arcade Fire
Score = -8
you guys are seriously bitches
I'm not saying i particularly like family guy but the movies/shows you trash on this site is ridiculous... In just 10 minutes of being on your site you have called boondock saints one of the worst movies ever made and family guy one of the worst shows on television. Have you ever watched the disney channel. Family guy might just be mostly crude and random jokes but there is some actually very funny stuff every now and then. Pull you heads out of your asses. you guys need a reality check...
Score = -9
we most definitely value your opinion, buttlicker.
Score = -1
Seth MacFarlane haters = disgruntled Burger King employees. Hell... i'll spring for the combo if he'll put out.
Score = 0
There are two types of people in this world. People who love family guy and enjoy the genius mix of rudeness and intelligence...and those who don't wipe. That's it. Line in the sand. You either love Family Guy, or you have a dirty ass. No exceptions.
Score = -7
Who do you think is funny?
Score = -1
Hey, for a mentally challenged guy
I think Seth has done so-so.
Score = 3
Hey, remember that one time I made a joke about Family Guy and then everyone around me cried because I insulted their only way of picking up drunk college chicks at parties? "Hey, remember that episode of Family Guy where he told a random joke that was so hilarious that I completely forgot about it as soon as the magic seeing box went blank? Let's go fuck." And remember that one time they told a hilarious joke about that one time that Peter had this hilarious encounter in some hilarious fashion? Hahaha, I so totally remember it. And remember that one time someone pulled out a gun and shot themselves because they couldn't remember that one time that I remembered but no one else remembered.
Anyway, remember that one gay fucking show everyone watched and thought it was good then they graduated from college/high school and realized that all they can remember about it is how bad it sucked? Well, you will.
