Occasional douche or not...Kanye West ain't that bad.

I love Family Guy and all, but the show has taken a serious down turn in quality this season. Does anyone actually believe this spin off will be any good?

American Dad gets all McFarlane's good material these days, anyway.

(Good in a relative context)

jaylectricity: Occasional douche or not...Kanye West ain't that bad.

His "Gold Digger" ditty is certainly right up there with the best art of the last 1000 years, without a doubt.

That song certainly contributed something wonderful to music - his is a name that will forever be synonymous with artistic triumph.

On top of all that, he's wonderfully modest and humble. You have to love him... especially that wonderful "uh - uh" he does all through what once upon a time would have been the verse melody of a song. This is boundary pushing stuff, people - he is nothing less that a trailblazer, the light by which the darkness in which other would-be artists is destroyed and replaced with wonderful creation - more than just a man, a God amongst us, here to show the very limits of the imagination of Man, and then go beyond them.

Yikes. This is how you overreact. Textbook example right there.

So you're saying he's the black john lennon?

Kayne West and MTV: a match made in my ass your face heaven.
Between them, they've put out more shiat than Don's Johns, and it's smelled about the same.

president bush doesn't care about black cartoons.

Will he be in the closet?

Thom Yorke unimpressed.

HA!! Thank you, this post is better than coffee, what a way to start the day!

But seriously, you forgot to mention his contribution to the fashion world as well.



Like Ray-ban's

Spin-offs rarely work. Usually it's the ones which are nothing like the original that have higher success rates. To start out this 'Cleveland suddenly has kids' spin-off with Kanye West is just asking for a major fail. But perhaps that's what they're going for, you know the ol' two wrongs make a right theory.

West's second blunder was including his trademark excessive autotuning. Where this song calls for raw, earnest vocals, West insists on his bass-ackwards method of serving a heaping pile of oregano with a dash of chicken on top. The song should move me like I'm listening to Freddie Mercury belt out "Who Wants To Live Forever." Instead, I'm stuck trying to sympathize with a heartbroken Wall-E.

Wow, they are actually going thru with a Cleveland show? I thought that was a joke.

That's funny 'cause it's true.

Story sounds much better in my head without the auto-tuner.

That's why Frasier worked so well. You get away from the blue collar bar in Boston and follow this fruity intellectual and his sissy brother out to Seattle.

No, he's saying Kanye is John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Jesus, Dr Manhattan and Cher sitting together on a solid gold bidet dropping bombs of truth, wisdom and happiness.

Great, another reason to completely ignore the show.....

Kanye is a marketing genuis. He acts like a douche to keep his name in the headlines

I find that the young black men whom are TV junkies are really into the Family Guy. They are bored with or were never into the Simpsons . They tend to find South Park idiotic or racist. I wouldn't be surprised that the Family Guy has a surprisingly strong African American Nielsen rating. This is probably why Cleveland spin off was ever considered. Seth McFarland should close shop on American Dad and focus his own energy and humor toward the Cleveland show. Depending on established black comedy writers to create the show for him on the side may fail since they Family Guy style comedy wouldn't carry over as much and lose its original appeal.

This will be about as funny as that time Peter worked as a greeter at Walmart...

FTFY

Seriously, AD is a much better show.

It has these things called plots. And humor arising from the characters, not the situation.

I think I dislike Kanye West more then Conway Twitty. SO does clevland get back with Loretta?

Bek: I love Family Guy and all, but the show has taken a serious down turn in quality this season. Does anyone actually believe this spin off will be any good?


They seem to have taken to recreating scenes from 1980s movies with no irony or point. I mean they always recreated scenes from 1980s movies but there used to be some kind of twist or punchline involved. Still, there's enough of the funny in each episode to make it worth watching.

/would have preferred a Quagmire spinoff

I don't totally disagree with that sentiment. Family Guy is getting pretty long in the tooth too. Establishing a strong and profitable following for a network TV show that has decent entertainment value is very challenging. Seth McFarland to his credit, has pulled it off twice. If the new show can stay on the air for three years with something relatively innovative and humorous, I'll be impressed. It probably won't happen though.

Great, now we get to listen to Kanye biatch about not winning an Emmy, too.

I would have preferred a Quagmire spinoff as well. Give'em what they want.

Quagmire is great, but he's a one-trick pony. The spinoff would suck because it would nothing but sex jokes. Cleveland would be good to focus on because you could put him in a million different situations and it wouldn't all end with "giggity giggity goo" every time.

Eh, I've lost all interest in Family Guy... That OJ Simpson episode the other night recycled a lot of the jokes, and I really got pissed off with the 'Conway Twitty' thing. It wasn't really funny the first two times, so what makes the third time (which was longer than balls) even remotely entertaining?

What was once a good show, has now become nothing more than gallery of fail.

Copycat

bruce4bruce: I think I dislike Kanye West more then Conway Twitty. SO does clevland get back with Loretta?

I swear to God, if there's one more stupid farking, "Conway Twitty, ladies and gentlemen..." segment on Family Guy, I'm going to personally hunt down Seth MacFarlane and make him drink 12 ounces of Verne Troyer's sweat.

Thanks for the warning. This will be one episode I'll be sure to miss.

/#1 on my list of 'people you annoy you'.

He should give Family Guy a break...

Cleveland Show could work in theory...

The guy can make creative characters, Roger from AD is a prime example.

The hurt knee, giant chicken fight and Conway Twitty shiat needs to FARKING STOP!!!

/random odds and ends...

Like the Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy, Futurama, American Dad, the Critic... except King of the Hill, how did that cartoon last 11 years?!

I actually removed it from my dvr scheduled recordings.

I love Stewie and Brian, but the Conway Twitty shiat last week was the last straw.

/hate the "American Dad" show, refuse to watch.

Kanye can definitely put out some good songs, he has a good voice and his beats are awesome, but his lyrics suck ass.

"Strong" is an AMAZING remix of "Harder Better Faster Stronger", the singing/rapping was great, the video was awesome (farking Akira in a rap video), but the lyrics were awful. That's pretty much your average Kanye West hit. Catchy, technically well done, with a good voice, but dangerous to your brain if you actually listen to what he says.

"You know how long I been on ya? Since Prince was on Appolonia. Since OJ had isotoners. Don't act like I never told ya!" Gah!

I still mainstain the "Family Gay" episode was among the best I've ever seen.

WFern: I still mainstain the "Family Gay" episode was among the best worst I've ever seen.

Seriously. It's one thing to make a point. Another to beat you over your farkin' head with it.

I'll pass from now on.

I think it's funny how everybody on Fark is an expert on comedy when it comes to dissecting the humor (or lack thereof) on Family Guy. Like a bunch of Pabst drinkers talking about wine by repeating technical terms they've heard actual connoisseurs use.

Ok, the man himself may be a douche, but his music never fails to get my rump shaking.
