Lol i have no idea.

NoQuestion · 02-09-2009, 10:59 PM

I believe they were a bunch of shorts.

JackDurden · 02-09-2009, 11:03 PM

They're a bunch of shorts available to watch FOR FREE on YouTube. I personally wouldn't pick this up, none of the shorts have made me laugh, they just seem to be jokes the Family Guy staff decided not to include, but film anyway so they could make a compilation like this.

So it's even less funny than Family Guy? Definate pass for me since I already can't stand Family Guy's 14 year old target audience jokes.

SirSomerville · 02-10-2009, 02:04 AM

Terrible, Terrible news.

They aren't funny. at all.

14 years old? Most jokes are just references from twenty and thirty year old movies and television. So they're targeting people who weren't alive to see the stuff they're poking fun at.

Yea I thought the same thing when I saw his comment. How could the jokes be aimed towards kids. Heck, I'm 20 and I don't know who some of the people they talk about are. I have to look them up.

jono_0101 · 02-10-2009, 07:00 PM

they were a series of shorts in the same vein of comedy as family guy is, im sure if youre a fan of the show, you would like this, but its not quite as good as family guy, i would have to see a really good deal to pick this up on blu ray

Ozone · 02-10-2009, 11:04 PM

I though MacFarlane said that didn't want to do animation in HD?

marcellusk · 05-12-2009, 05:28 PM

Did this come out on blu? Best Buy's website doesnt have it listed. When you click the weekly ad it shows the blu but when i add to cart it's actually the dvd

Blu-News · 05-12-2009, 07:09 PM

From the looks of it yes. It's in stock at Amazon.com if you are interested.

Limited quantities, only 5 left in stock actually.

The Gnome · 05-12-2009, 07:17 PM

It is in Blu... I have seen it at BB. Never really check online though... After reading the box, decided not to get it untill it's under $10

OhDamaso · 05-12-2009, 07:21 PM

It's $16.99 at Best Buy. I picked it up to see what it was but didn't buy it. It's only 54 minutes long.

Clark Kent · 05-12-2009, 07:22 PM

I will wait until this drops in price. There does not look to be much content on the disc.

redtornado · 05-12-2009, 07:36 PM

I think there are about 20 shorts, some are funnier then others. There kinda like the flashbacks on Family Guy. Nothing that will make you fall over laughing. I dont know if this should have its own disc. Even at $16.99 its a little overpriced.

The Super Mario skit is the funniest.

marcellusk · 05-12-2009, 09:59 PM

yeah they had a ton at best buy. I went ahead and grabbed it. Love Family and watched a couple of these episodes online

Beast · 05-12-2009, 10:31 PM

Red Tornado, there's 50 shorts total. Picked it up today at Best Buy for $16.99.

Wish they had audio commentary, but the shorts themselves are funny as hell.

I almost died laughing, literally, during the final short. I couldn't breathe.

So I lost count. Nothing really special here.
