The origin of Stoolbend – watch!

Wendy Boswell — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 05:11:58 +0000

Fox has just uploaded a fun video exploring the origins of Stoolbend (ew) Virginia, the main place setting in The Cleveland Show.

In the video, Mike Henry talks about where they got the name for the town and various poop-related jokes you’ll see mentioned in the show. GROSS.

Family Guy and Microsoft are teaming up – no, seriously, they REALLY ARE.

Wendy Boswell — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 17:08:14 +0000

Yes, it’s true – Seth MacFarlane has signed a deal with Microsoft to promote Windows 7 in a live action/comedy special due to air in November with fellow FG alumni Alex Borstein.

The show is titled “Family Guy Presents: Seth & Alex’s Almost Live Comedy Show,”, and will have no commercials, but they will weave in Windows 7 promo spots that are supposed to “blend seamlessly with show content”, which I’m guessing will be funny gags of various Family Guy characters trying out the new Microsoft operating system.

The Family Guy/Microsoft duo isn’t stopping there, though. They’re also embarking on a 12 week college tour that will give approximately 4.3 million college students the chance to try out Windows 7 and see how much it either rocks or sucks (anything is better than Vista). The tour will also feature entertainment like outdoor movie nights hosted by “Family Guy’s” Stewie and Brian, online videos, and other “Family Guy” content.

Here’s an example of what we’re in for November 7:

What do you think? Good idea? I’m guessing that Microsoft is betting on FG’s popularity with young males in their twenties to boost sales of their newest OS, but I believe their biggest problem is going to be washing the taste of Vista out of our collective mouths.

Seth Green’s “mugging” a publicity stunt for Butterfinger contest

Wendy Boswell — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 17:15:00 +0000

Remember the Seth Green mugging controversy? Most people (including myself) thought it was a big publicity stunt, especially as it’s Seth Green we’re talking about here, the master of put-ons. Anyway, it turns out that as Seth is the new face of Butterfinger, he’s promoting a big Butterfinger contest that includes this kind of adventuring. Here’s more information:

Nestlé USA today announced the launch of “Dude, Where’s My Bar?” an innovative online narrative game for consumers to help solve the mystery surrounding the October 2 theft of Green’s vintage Butterfinger bar. The “lite” alternate reality game starring Seth Green will call upon the clever, irreverent thinking of Butterfinger fans, as they compete to find and solve clues that could lead to the return of Green’s missing bar and a one-of-a-kind grand prize: a solid-gold Butterfinger bar worth $10,000.

Uh, not to be a downer, but what kind of prize is a solid gold Butterfinger bar?!?!? Geez, you couldn’t even sell that thing. Here’s more:

The heart of the game’s storyline is a multi-part mystery starring Green and his “evil nemesis,” bringing to life “Nobody’s Gonna Lay A Finger On My Butterfinger” for Green, the Butterfinger Mouthpiece. The narrative thread will span six different games over a nearly three-week period, beginning October 13, at 12:01 a.m. EDT with a big reveal on Halloween, October 31, at 11:59 p.m. EDT, when the game ends. Players can compete in all six games and dive deeply into the story or jump in and out at anytime.
Each game can either interconnect with the others or stand alone. Players are awarded points for playing games as well as clues that point them to the whereabouts of Green’s bar. Weekly prizes, including the iPhone 3GS, Flip Cameras, and DJ Hero Renegade/Guitar Hero game bundles, also may be awarded. At the conclusion of the game play, one grand-prize winner will be awarded a real, solid-gold Butterfinger bar valued at $10,000. The winner may have the opportunity to meet Green in person in Los Angeles.

Okay, well, the weekly prizes are worthwhile, and meeting Seth would be teh awesome. What about you – anyone out there going to play along? The official game site is here.

Was Seth Green mugged?

Wendy Boswell — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 05:00:30 +0000

There are two videos circulating the Internets right now that supposedly show Seth Green being mugged in the parking lot outside the studio, and then freaking out on his security guards INside the studio.

Here’s the mugging video first. It’s a security camera video, so the quality isn’t that great, and you can’t even really tell if it’s Seth or not, although he does walk and have mannerisms similar to Seth. Watch:

And here’s the video of Seth understandably getting very upset that his security guards weren’t there:

Now, if this is real, I feel really bad that this happened to Seth. However, I think there is the slight possibility that it could be a publicity stunt. What do you think?

Seth MacFarlane on MyFoxLA – watch!

Wendy Boswell — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 16:36:24 +0000

This is actually from May, but I don’t think it’s been posted. Highlights: Seth got an angry phone call from Ellen Cleghorne for a joke, his old school principal tried to get Family Guy off the air, he wants to open up a coffee shop when he grows up (yeah right), he goes over his 9/11 story, how FG is NOT vanilla, he wants to offend everyone so nobody feels left out, religious figures are the ones most offended (which motivates him to do more), the “Freakin Sweet” show with Alex Borstein, and a bit of inane chatter.

Somebody is going to die in the Family Guy universe – who is it?

Wendy Boswell — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 04:48:06 +0000

In an interview with FoxSource, Seth MacFarlane gives us a hint that someone, we don’t know how or who, is going to kick the bucket. He also talks about Eliza Dushku possibly guest-starring. Watch:

No Emmy win for Family Guy this year

Wendy Boswell — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 19:14:05 +0000

Dark horse Family Guy lost out to “30 Rock” in the 2009 Emmy race. Here’s a video of Seth MacFarlane at the Emmy’s:

NBC’s 30 Rock won the category for the third year in a row, beating out a seven-show field of contenders for the honor. The other nominees were Entourage, Flight of the Conchords, How I Met Your Mother, The Office and Weeds.
