Microsoft has enlisted Seth MacFarlane to promote Windows 7. Sure. The launch parties were such a success, it just makes sense that they would continue to align their product with something that is great. Hopefully, Mr. MacFarlane was given one million dollars to simply overdub a pre-existing animation from the show with new character dialog about Windows 7.

Perfect. You can see the original clip here (both via Mashable). It’s even the same joke! With the words “Windows 7″ thrown in to give it that extra OOMPH. Yuck. I haven’t seen something this lazy and awful since those “Where’s My Emmy” videos three weeks ago. (Seth MacFarlane is a Lazy Awful Factory.) (Thanks for the tip, Jason and Jessica.)

  1. More reason to use an Apple. They would never use Seth MacFarlane to promote their products.

  2. Yikes. At the end of that video, I yelled the vulgar long-form version of “WTF?” to myself, in my own bed, with nobody else in my apartment, because of how strongly I felt about the pointlessness of this video.
    That guy is seriously the LAFAT (Laziest Awfullest Factory of All Time).

  3. “seth macfarlane magic” is to “gay magic” what “family guy” is to “everything decent in society.”

  4. “Jokes” like these are why people dismiss Twitter.

  5. Check out the comments on the
    Mashable
    website. One guy actually speaks of Family Guy’s “creative brilliance.”

  6. Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see.

  7. Seth MacFarlane will eat itself

  8. Clearly I am not Windows target audience. Which makes me sad since I’m typing this on a PC that uses Windows. Who wants to start a get jneslo a mac fund?!

  9. This still wins over Rachel Zoe’s Bing realitimercials (I coined that. I get all the $$’s.)

  10. PC is the Republican Party of computer marketing.

  11. It’s nice to see Seth has found a more efficient way to be the worst. Recycled animation, rehashed, unfunny, self-referential jokes, and everyone’s favorite gay baby? Sign America up for YES!.

  12. This gave me a tummyache.

  13. Seth mcfarland, huh? What, were whoopie goldberg, phil jackson, the dude from the show about making motorcycles and maybe the lady that played the clumsy catholic schoolgirl on SNL in the early 90′s busy making a phone commercial or something? they were? oh.
