I decided to talk about something I am shocked I have not mentioned yet: Seth MacFarlane's Cavalcade of Comedy. Okay what is it? They are short clips on whatever these writers feel like making fun of. They are hilarious. They are arguably better than a lot of the stuff on Family Guy this season. Yeah, I said it. There's gay knights preventing dragons from burning down kingdoms, a fat Jesus Christ doing literally nothing, and cute puppy dogs on game shows swearing like truck drivers. Completely random clips. I love the introductions to the clips because the advertisements [whether it is Burger King or Priceline] are shot in "cartoon" form. You get to laugh while hearing about the uselessness of these ads over and over. I think Seth did that to make the waiting game more enjoyable. These clips are available online at www.youtube.com/sethcomedy or you can buy the DVD in stores.
My top picks [in no particular order] from Seth Comedy:
You got kidnapped by something that goes on a salad!
"Super Mario Rescues the Princess"
I think the title speaks for itself. I was a good little girl and posted the "clean" version. If you so desire, there is an uncensored one with lots of swearing. Either way, this clip just proves how awesome they can take a video game and make it even more funny. If you have never played Super Mario Bros. or seen how the "final boss" level works between Mario and Bowser, you are missing out. The clip will still be silly, but you will not follow the real humor behind it. Who would have thought that the Princess would be such a bitch? Oh come on, let's get real here. She's a dumb fuck for continuously being taken to bigger, more challenging castles. Mario deserves a little somethin' somethin' for all the shit he had to go through, even if he did have the occasional help from a shiny star or flower that allowed him to shoot fireballs. Mario, you're the man. Well played.
Yeah, throwing up is gross. I don't do that.
"A Trip to the Psychiatrist"
The title speaks for itself. Classic. Didn't you ever just wonder why you had an eating disorder?
Yeah, well I'm the one with a boner. So, Jackpot for me. You lose.
Ever hear the fairy tale about princesses kissing frogs that magically turn into princes? Yeah, well that's a lie. And Seth Comedy is here to confirm that. Instead, frogs get wood and take advantage of young royalty. How's that make you feel Disney? How about all you crazy daydreamin' storybook authors? Suck on any frogs lately? I think this is the version children should someday be exposed to. HAHAHAH What the fuck! Of course I am kidding about showing this to little kids, but seriously when they are old enough...this is epic and totally amazingly raunchy. I'll drink to that!
Bop you on the nose!
"Gay Knight"
One of my favorites just because the knight is bad ass. He swears, he dances, and he bops a dragon on the nose. This clip is another play on a classic: the knight must rescue a kingdom from a fire-breathing dragon. However, this one works out in a different way...than expected. The knight doesn't have to fight the dragon and instead celebrates in super cool style. The king is completely stupid and grateful for the dragon's kindness. The knight doesn't give a fuck about the king or the dragon. He just wants to dance, and I say let him! Party like a rockstar champ.
It's like when you work for your meal, like really work for it, it tastes so much better.
"Die, Sweet Roadrunner, Die"
Looney Tunes have nothing on this. Remember that Wile E. Coyote trying to kill that damned Roadrunner? Remember wondering what would happen if Wile E. would EVER catch the bird? Watch this and get ready to smile. No beverages, 'cause you might spit things out of your nose from laughing so hard. Hahaha. Cheers.
Save us Jesus Christ!
"Fat Jesus"
...sometimes religion, is just funny. I said it, there.
I can't give it away...just watch.
"A Dog on 25,000 Pyramid"
Hands down my favorite. I grew up watching the $25,000 pyramid with my grandparents. Nothing like some wonderful bonding over the Gameshow Network. Love it and love Dick Clark. This takes a whole new perspective on playing the game. Dogs, dumb fucks, and swearing are wonderful combination. Crack open a beer and get ready to watch.
If you are not sold on Seth Comedy shorts at this point, you can go jump off a cliff...or just not watch.
I'm going to go watch the rest of the DVD now. What a way to study for finals eh?
