Seth was terribly funny on _Gilmore Girls_ tonight. He played one of Lorelei's fellow community college graduates. Relentlessly caustic and insulting character, like Brian on coke. (Brian's voice, too.)

No he wasn't. I didn't actually see it, but c'mon, this is the creator of "Family Guy" we're talking about here. -------------------------------- "That's the worst reverse-acting I've ever seen!" -Sam Raimi

You're right, he wasn't terribly funny at all. He was absolutely freaking hilarious!!! Although still not as funny as you of course. How's the petition going? Oh look, three more people on it, all calling you an idiot. Keep up the good work, thanks bud.

Update: I actually watched the show (actually watched it mute while listening to the new Weezer CD) in order to catch MacFarlane's appearance in order to put a face to the one who I consider as my mortal enemy, and I must say, anyone who says he was "terribly funny" or "absolutely freaking hilarious" should just come out and admit that they're a lobotomy patient. There was nothing hilarious about his performance. In all honesty, I wouldn't say it was any worse than anything else on such a terrible show, but it was far from notable. It's fairly obvious that most "Family Guy" fans think shit like "if it's 'Family Guy', it's gotta be good', or 'Seth MacFarlane created a show I think I should like so I'll go on a newsgroup and talk about how great his performance in a show I'd otherwise hate was regardless of it's mediocrety".. I look forward to seeing MacFarlane as "Man #7" on "Dawson's Creek" in the future. -------------------------------- "That's the worst reverse-acting I've ever seen!" -Sam Raimi

You watched it with mute? Your opinion on his performance is as valid as claiming he had no lines.

Actually, I watched it on "mute" until he came on. I should have clarified that in the post. -------------------------------- "That's the worst reverse-acting I've ever seen!" -Sam Raimi

Well, thank God you cleared that up. Now your hard-earned reputation as a self-hating depressed loser can remain untarnished after all.

The real questions is, what did you think of the new Weezer CD?

Its ok, doesn't compare to the blue album though. Much better than Pinkerton though.

I gave up on their 3rd cd. Listened to it once, it just wasn't the same weezer from the 1st album and Pinkerton. Matt Sharp, come back...

Jason AllenPhil7101

Isn't the new album the third CD?

I thought there were just the blue album, Pinkerton, and the new green album.

They've got a brand new one out now...gets confusing when they don't title half their records!

I agree with Gareth - Pinkerton is definitely my favorite. El Scorcho!! The new album just doesn't quite measure up to their best stuff, IMO. "Burndt Jamb" is my favorite so far.

My rankings:

  • Pinkerton
  • Weezer (2001)
  • Weezer (1994)
  • Maladroit

Blue and Pink are pretty much on a par, the new one is really really good though, close behind. Green has its moments but has too much weak filler.

Go on...say "Worst episode ever", I dare you. It'd just complete the picture.

and I must say, anyone

So if I am to understand your logic, so to speak, then whoever enjoys themselves by laughing at a comedy show is "a lobotomy patient", whereas the man who is obsessed with a cancelled tv show he hates and who posts on the internet late at night trying to get attention by attempting to insult total strangers is the sane, happy, intelligent and well-adjusted one? Now who's living in the bizarro world? (Facetious hint: You).

There was nothing

Well most fans just like watching the show actually, because they enjoy Seth's work. Thanks.

You watch Dawson's creek? Ah, now we're finally getting an insight into the true depths of your depravity.

CLOSEDOWN8Phil7101

Well, considering I've only seen that particular episode of that show and I only really watched the parts that Satan was featured in, I couldn't say it was the "worst episode ever" as it's the only one I've seen. It's apparant that you live in a sad fantasy land where "Family Guy" is actually funny, so if your mental image of me as a cartoonish overweight geek, which is equally inaccurate, helps you dismiss me, fine. I'll continue to hate "Family Guy" for no other reason than it's complete lack of comedic merit. And for the Weezer fans who might be reading this, my Weezer album ranking would have to be:

1: Blue 2: Pinkerton 3: Maladroit 4: Green -------------------------------- "That's the worst reverse-acting I've ever seen!" -Sam Raimi

Actually I live in reality, where, unless you're in the industry, tv is just a minor distraction from life, not something to completely fill the void of an empty existence. But whatever works for you.

so if

Hey now I didn't say you were cartoonish. Come to think of it, most geeks are quite clever, so I wouldn't put you in that category either.

which is equally

Dismiss you? That implies that I've been taking you at all seriously. Don't flatter yourself now.

I'll continue to hate "Family Guy"

Well I've no doubt you've managed to convince yourself that's the reason you've
chosen to fixate on it, but you'll have years of therapy to get to the real
root of the problem.
   And at this point I'll devastate you with the news that I probably won't be
responding to any of your "posts" in the future; the reason being that you've
gotten pretty tired and repetitive of late.
   Sure, you were a good comedy troll at first, but you've just been saying the
same thing over and over for weeks now; you've committed the cardinal sin of
trolldom, which is to be boring. So unless you can come up with some fresh and
exciting new angle, I bid you farewell. And seeing as I'm pretty much the only
one who even bothers to acknowledge your presence in here anymore, I'm sure
you'll have a happy career ahead of you of being completely ignored by all.
   But good luck with everything...seriously.

Seeing as it was first broadcast last night, that would probably be highly unlikely. I don't know if there's any place for _Gilmore Girls_ episodes in general.

Heh, thanks for letting us know he was on. I took a look at the episode (after I knew he appeared in it ofcourse for those questioning my manhood :-) ). I never would have seen him otherwise. He did a good job, made the previous 30 minutes of inane female banter worth it by delivering a funny albeit brief appearance. I hope he sticks to "Family Guy" but if all hope is lost with the show he has more than enough talent and attitude to make it in the industry. Is it just me or does he look a bit like Jason Alexander? Must be the squint.
