Even Seth MacFarlane's Hands Are The Worst
Seth MacFarlane was on Conan O'Brien last night to talk about what it's like to have 100 million dollars and still look like you shop at Wilson's Leather. During the interview, he WOWED the audience by doing the voices from Family Guy. Now, if you like that show, I'm sure that it's fun and weird to see those beloved characters coming out of a human face. I can understand that. For me it would be like the first time I saw the Magnetic Fields in concert, or when someone from a not super-shitty cartoon is on Conan O'Brien. But just because you like that show, did you also like the arrogant self-satisfaction he exuded while doing the voices, as if he was about to give the audience the greatest thrill of their adult lives? Gross.
Naturally, the interview turned to Seth MacFarlane's upcoming live show at Carnegie Hall, which is a thing that exists.
Oh, you ALMOST feel like you don't belong there? Because you DEFINITELY don't belong there, so it's weird that your feelings are so confused. Look, I don't blame Seth MacFarlane for doing a show at Carnegie Hall. That's on Carnegie Hall. He would have been a fool to turn that down. But let's at least be honest about it.
You know what else we should be honest about? ALL THE FAKE TANNER SETH MACFARLANE WAS WEARING ON HIS HANDS.

But Gabe, I'm pretty sure you said self-tanner on the hands was a good idea???
Score = 0
He must take your Man Style videos very seriously. Very.
Score = 3
I don't care, I still find Family Guy funny, even if its getting a bit lamer at some parts, it makes me laugh, and thats why someone should watch family guy right?
but yeah, Seth is kind of a douche.
Score = 3
Last night's episode might have been the worst ever. Seth sucks, but I didn't see this part 'cause I couldn't make it past the "interview" with Kanye West, which was really just Conan inexplicably kissing Kanye's ass and talking about how cool his clothes are. Why the hell did they put up all those images Kanye? Why the hell does Conan O'Brien need to drool over Kanye West? UGH.
Score = 0
He's gearing up to take Leno's place, which means completely inoffensive, family friendly, no opinions. Playin' it safe.
Score = 3
One thing I am thankful for this Thanksgiving is having a blog like Videogum where someone besides just me hates the shit out of Seth MacFarlane.
Score = 9
Ewww. Seth MacFarlane is gross to the max.
And a Magnetic Fields reference, sweet! I've been listening to "69 Love Songs" all week. Since when did you start borrowing Stereogum's indie-cred, Gabe?
Score = 1
Nice! I've been listening to 69 Love Songs all week too! I think I'm in love with Stephin Merritt. Which is a problem because I am a straight girl and he is a gay man. Ah, well. Magneticfieldsgum

Seth looks like a Newport Smoking Douche now.

You mean black? Haha, I can't wait for the Gabe post explaining why I am racist.
Score = 0
Weird thing: I saw American Dad the other night. That show was unbearably awful the last time I attempted a viewing. I actually smiled at some of it this time. Is it improving a bit, or am I devolving?
It still pretty much sucked, but...weird.
Score = 0
I like american dad, hate family guy. wondered why for the longest time, then I figured it out. different writers. booya!
Score = 1
Your blatant hate of Seth McFarlane notwithstanding, I must approve of your Super Troopers reference.
Score = 0
i don't think his douchiness has anything to do with the fact that Family Guy is still one of the funniest shows on TV.
Score = -5
Hey, lets look at some pictures of Mischa Barton with cellulite or Cameron Diaz with sweat patches! For goodness sake! By all means hate the guy because of his show or his attitude, but to pick out a small imperfection in his appearance and use that as a reason for mockery is stupid. Granted, it seems somewhat unmanly to wear fake tan, however, pointing out how badly he has applied it and enhancing the images to make it clearer is just as bad. This is not newsworthy material.
Score = -5
Except that cellulite and sweat are things people have and can't do anything about. Fake tanning is stupid and unfunny and HE DOES IT TO HIMSELF.
Score = 8
Was this on TV? Who the watches TV anyway? Doesn't everyone stalk japanese girls on flickr, or am I alone here? Hmmmm?
Score = -1
he has a disconcertingly buttery, smooth voice.
he should be the knew 'in a world...' guy from previews.
Score = 0
YOU THINK THATS BAD?! REMEMBER THE TIME I WENT ON CONAN O'BRIEN AND HAD FAKE TANNER ALL OVER MY HANDS?!
Score = 8
self tanned or not he is slime and creeps me out! why must you break from the story line and go into a flashback or fantasy sequence to make a joke in this show? Don't you have the talent to fit your jokes into your storyline? For 100 million dollars you should.
Score = 1
lol, i like seth macfarlane but this was funny in a deliciously snarky way.
Score = 2
