Hulu Ad Executive 1: Wouldn’t it be great if we could get Seth MacFarlane to do all of the annoying voices he does on his terrible show Family Guy, and then have a disgusting alien pop out of his needlessly bared stomach?
Hulu Ad Executive 2: No. What? Kill yourself.
Hulu Ad Executive 3: That’s a tremendous idea, Brian. You’re promoted to King of the World. Mike, step into my office.
Hulu Ad Executive 2: Why?
Hulu Ad Executive 3: Because you’re fucking fired. Seth MacFarlane is the best. I’m an idiot. Now, the rest of you, back to work. Let’s run this company into the ground with our awful ideas.

A rare miss, Hulu. A rare miss.

  1. Seth McFarland has ALWAYS been an alien from planet THE ABSOLUTE WORST EVER. Now he’s just coming out and admitting it.

  2. Seth McFarlane is so rich.

    Absolute fucking joke that Hulu won’t let Canadians watch any of their content, but they’ll let us watch this shit…

    …fucking Rumsfeld.

    Blame the dumb stoners in Boulder. CP+B did these ads. Apparently one of the “most prestigious branding firms” in the country hired that guy from college that wore cargo shorts all year.

    • first off. huh? second off. i went to school in Boulder and some kid that my Freshman roomate was friends with wore cargo shorts every day fro a year. but he never seemed like the advertising type.

      also. huh?

    Hey, guess what? Family Guy is actually a pretty decent show. Shucks.

  8. I don’t get why you hate this show so much. It’s really not that horrible, even if you don’t like it.

    Hate on Seth McFarlane all you want, but from an advertising standpoint this is perfect. The only difference between this ad and the Alec Baldwin one is that you guys don’t like Seth McFarlane. I don’t, either, but plennnnnnnnnnty of people do. Not an entertaining ad to ME but certainly not an abject failure.

  10. Hmm…the past three posters sound suspiciously like the same person.

    • Evan  |   Posted on Mar 18th, 2009

      What, do our voices all sound the same? I wasn’t either of the other posters.

      Heaven forbid someone likes a fucking show. Jeez, guy.

  11. Yes, putting Seth MacFarlane in a commercial is totally going to run Hulu into the ground.

    You’re an idiot.

    I have to suffer through Family Guy every Sunday thanks to my roommate. Sorry Seth MacFarlane fan(s), that show really is terrible. That gay episode they had on was probably the worst episode of ANYTHING I’ve ever seen. My eyes have yet to forgive me for subjecting them to that.

  13. Seth MacFarlane isn’t that bad, it’s lowbrow and dumb, but there are such worse shows out there that actually do real social/cultural harm.

  14. I’d point out the hypocrisy of saying this ad is only worse than Alec Baldwin’s Hulu ad because it’s Seth MacFarlane and not Alec Baldwin, but the problem is, it’s true.

  15. Yeah the ad is horrible, but who cares? Family Guy backlash is so 2006. Try taking on Paul Rudd. Yeah, I said it, Paul Rudd.

  16. Seth McFarlane is comedy roofies. And all of you punks defending him are gonna wake up with a wicked hangover and a sore ass in a few years when you realize how much Family Guy sucks.

  17. I’m ashamed to say that Family Guy occasionally makes me giggle quite a bit.

  18. This thread of comments is like when everyone cautiously admits they masturbate, but with kind of not hating Family Guy instead.

    I’ve actually noticed a lot of similarities in opinions between gabe and seth. One just has a lot more money then the other.

  20. The thing about Family Guy is, and I do know “the thing” and here it is: I/you/we all hate it so much and it’s so offensive to our core and being because it everyone here knows people that you love, care about or respect and they are passionate about how funny it is, and have made you watch it. And it made you question your feelings about them. And it made you realize that your sense of intelligence and humor is different than theirs. And somehow that makes YOU the asshole. There. I said it. If anyone asks you why you hate it soooo much, there. You’re welcome.

  21. I like Family Guy, and will happily admit it. I didn’t even realize it was a controversial position until I started reading Videogum I’m not crazy about Seth McFarlane, but at least he’s not Matt Stone and/or Trey Parker.

  22. I dislike watching Family Guy and, really, all of his other shows (How many does he have now, I don’t even know), but I like Seth MacFarlane as a person. I’d like to hang out with him.

  23. You just compared masturbating to watching Family Guy! FUCK YOU, MASTURBATING RULES

  24. You just compared masturbating to watching Family Guy! FUCK YOU, MASTURBATING RULES

  25. What was wrong with that commercial? It was along the same vein as the Baldwin one.
    And I like Family Guy & I have no opinion on Seth. I just don’t get the hate.
    Of course I also love guys who do voices more than any other group of people on the planet.

  26. this commercial is pretty horrible but not because its seth mcfarlane but because it’s just horrible. i don’t like (although there are many many worse shows out there than family guy) seth mcfarlane but i love alec baldwin and i thought his commercial was pretty horrible too. the commercials in general just suck.

    Run the company into the ground?!?!? You may hate McFarlane, but Family Guy, like it or not, is super popular, and makes TONS of money.

    Fact bloggers never seem to get: Businesses like to make money. If they make money doing something you hate, they aren’t ruining their business, they are making money.
