Family Guy Pleads for an Emmy With Racy Spoof of HBO’s Girls

Posted in: Uncategorized

Fox's Family Guy has a new "For Your Consideration" ad for this year's Emmy Awards, because Seth MacFarlane's unfunny Rat Pack schtick hasn't ruined enough award shows yet. The latest ad references an episode of HBO's Girls in which someone received a pearl necklace. Hence the Family Guy headline: "Here's a load of comedy to shoot on your chest." Groan. It's better than the lazy Jew-baiting that MacFarlane and company have been relying on lately, but that Girls episode was beaten to death long before they got to it. But that's to be expected from a show that hasn't been funny since I was in college.

Google Chrome’s Ad With Stewie From Family Guy Is Super Irritating

Posted in: Uncategorized

Stewie Griffin, the 1-year-old prodigy from Family Guy, is a lovable character, but man can he get annoying. In this 15-second spot from 72andSunny for Google Chrome, he proves just that. "Mom! Mom! Mommy! Ma!" he cries, as Lois stares off in a tormented haze. Ah, the gifts of parenthood. The spot makes its point, though. Google Chrome can't stop you from being interrupted, but it can let you pick up where you left off. What is it with Stewie being so repetitive in commercials? Now, someone please find Rupert so Stewie can finally shut up.
