Seth MacFarlane Continues To Compare Family Guy To Barack Obama
Back in May, when Seth MacFarlane took the audacious step of having an intern fill out an application form, thereby risking it all and entering Family Guy into consideration for the Emmys (Seth MacFarlane, America's greatest risk-taker?), he said that his thinking behind submitting Family Guy to the Emmys was "allegorical to Barack Obama."
Yikes.
Well, in the past he has claimed full ownership of the experience of 9/11, so it is not that surprising. But it is July now. Surely someone who likes Seth MacFarlane and cares about him has taken a moment during the intervening months to suggest that he STOP comparing Family Guy's entry into consideration for the Emmys to the historic election of Barack Obama. Oh, nope? Nope. The Hollywoood Reporter interviewed him about his thoughts and feelings about getting a nomination:
Hollywood Reporter: What do you think your chances are of winning?Seth MacFarlane: It is enough just to be nominated. I just think [winning] would be asking for too much change all at once. I doubt we would win. Although, I thought we were further away from Obama [winning] than we are, and that was a nice surprise. So, who knows?
Hey, Seth MacFarlane, save that awfulness for your TV shows! You're giving away gold here.
Ugh. Seth MacFarlane, everybody. The Rosa Parks of being the worst.

"and the Emmy for Best Non Sequitur in a Comedy Series" goes to...
Score = 8
Seth McFarlane, when the American people cry out for the leadership of an unfunny chipmunk-human hybrid* to guide them, then and only then can you compare yourself to Obama.
*Jimmy Carter doesn't count. He was hilarious.
Score = 14
Seth MacFarlane, go sit at the back of The Worst bus.
Score = 10
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, except Seth MacFarlane, who is a bag of dog shit."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood, and map out a plan to beat the ever-loving shit out of Seth MacFarlane.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character, and where Seth MacFarlane will actually be judged by the content of his character, and thus he will be sent to the fiery depths of hell.
Score = 27
"It is a time for martyrs now, and if I am to be one, it will be for the cause of brotherhood. That's the only thing that can save this country. That, and firing Seth McFarlane into space."

Hey guys who's your favorite character? Mine is Stewie! "How you uh, how you comin' on that novel you're working on?" HAHAHAHA This should win a Nobel Awesome Prize!!

Hi MacFarlane, you can help yourself to a nice cup of shut the fuck up and a biscuit.

I would like to point out that Seth MacFarlane himself is nominated for an Emmy in the "Outstanding Voice-Over Performance" category. The guy could actually get TWO awards.
This world is going crazyy. Crazy, i tell ya.
Score = 1
If Emmy voters dare to decide Family Guy is better than Flight of the Conchords, I am quitting TV forever in favor of puppet theater, where the worst thing is a nun with boxing gloves instead of Family Guy.
Score = 9
I would like to complement you unique Photoshop skills, Gabe. I had to look at the image twice to realize it was a collage. For a minute there, I thought Seth MacFarlane's ego had gone to his ears...

I'm so done with all these Family Guy posts. Obviously you hate the guy. THE END.

Sometimes I forget that Seth McFarlane and Jimmy Kimmel are different people. They are so awful.

I think Seth MacFarlane, Michael Bay, and Gwyneth Paltrow should have a The Worst-Off! We can put it on Pay-Per-View and all the proceeds could be used to implement elementary school programs teaching kids the importance of humility.
Score = 4
I think you're onto something:
(the Griffin's kitchen)
Peter: Lois, you know I hate going to your father's house. Holy crap, he hates me!
Lois: Now, Peter, he doesn't hate you; Daddy's just, well, he's a kind of a bastard.
Peter: Holy crap, Lois, it will be more uncomfortable than the time Gwenyth Paltrow auditioned for that Michael Bay movie...
(Michael Bay's driveway)
Gwenyth Paltrow: You, you want to film me cleaning your colon, Darling Michael Benjamin Baywatch?
Michael Bay: giggity giggity.
(the Griffin's kitchen)
Brian: I have a boner.
SETH MACFARLANE IF YOU'RE OUT THERE I NEED WORK AND HAVE NO STANDARDS WHATSOEVER.

Sadly, it turns out that Seth MacFarlane is more qualified to get an Emmy than Obama was to run an economy...
