Is Seth Macfarlane A Good Animator Reddit

Seth MacFarlane

This past Friday, Seth MacFarlane – creator of Play tricks TV's "Family Guy" and "American Dad!" along with the profane teddy bear "Ted" films and "A Million Ways to Die in the West" – went on Reddit (the cocky-proclaimed front folio of the internet) to do a Q&A with fans.

However it appeared some wires got crossed between Reddit and MacFarlane's PR folks when he began his (first) AMA thread by stating he would answer questions about his new evidence 'The Orville', writing: "For the adjacent 30 minutes, I'm answering as many questions as I can nearly The Orville. Ask me annihilation."

Simply AMA on Reddit stands for "ask me annihilation" and the community there takes that literally. Members balk at whatever attempt to use an AMA for strictly promotional purposes – whether it exist for a new TV show, movie, production or service – and Seth'southward stumble resulted in an almost immediate reference to an inside joke involving the film 'Rampart'.

That debacle involved a 2012 AMA with actor Woody Harrelson, star of the and so upcoming motion picture "Rampart", when announced he would reply questions well-nigh the flick and seemed to stick to that limitation – although he did appear to reply some non-film questions. The resulting blowback from Redditors resulted in a debacle that's become a meme of sorts on the AMA subreddit.

But in Seth's example, this mistake was apace realized by both MacFarlane and the Reddit admin his team was coordinating with, and a second AMA was opened where he answered a number of the thousands of questions thrown at him.

His responses included both amusing quips as well every bit some insight for fans of his shows. A few of them are featured beneath:

Seth:
An accordion. It sits in my living room untouched. One solar day I will play it.

collinjames asked:

Seth:
Untangling Iphone earbuds in nether six minutes.

NipplesInAJar asked:

xThatTedGuy asked:
Which character on Family Guy was your favorite to voice for? Least favorite? Was voicing any of them difficult?

ahoy_there asked:

infinitempg asked:
Cosmos flavour two: still happening?
Seth:
Stay tuned. I can't give a concrete answer to that yet cause I'thousand not allowed, but permit's simply say you won't be disappointed.

ChumbaJB asked:
What do you think about the South Park episode lampooning you lot?

Seth:
I thought it was actually funny. They flagged our cutaway setups, which had been getting a little fast and loose at the time. Props for that. RE: the cutaways themselves, though, they were off the mark a bit. The cutaways are actually the hardest things to write on the show. Story-centric jokes come a little easier, merely when you have to conceive and invent a whole independent little sequence several times in a episode, it's challenging as hell. Like doing a Far Side cartoon 10-12 times an episode.

Being involved in so many shows and projects all at once, how do you manage? Do you ever feel pulled toward one project and burnt out with another? Does your passion tend to go dorsum and forth between different projects at a time?

I jump betwixt TV and film for that reason. I felt fried afterward 12 years of Family Guy and so I left to practise Ted. At some point perhaps I'll air current upward writing for Family Guy full time again.

I haven't written on the bear witness since 2010. I still do the voices, but it's now run by my co-writer Alec Sulkin.

2th added:

Seth:
If y'all have his number, call him and ask. I'll back you up.
