I definitely won't be buying this.
 
Yep, everyone and their mom is on Blu-Ray these days.

Has anyone noticed as well that some of the videos on the YouTube channel have been removed? Subtle way of saying "Love these shorts? TOO BAD! Get them on DVD now!"? I think so.

Pass. Although the ones I enjoyed were the Monkey Evolution one, Mario, Jeff Goldblum Wafers, Frog Prince, Cat business meeting, and the Beavers one. And seriously, one of the sketches being about "guess which animal phallus is this?". Argh.
 
I'm incline to agree with the review. There are a few that gets a chuckle out of me, but otherwise, it's just predictable humor. As Chad stated, it's like seeing deleted or rejected Family Guy cuts. Cats having a meeting until dog crashes in; seen it coming a minute shorter then how long it played, Scottish man talking about movies because "lol accents are funnie."

The only part of the review I don't agree on is the Mario saves Princess Peach. I honestly don't get why people (at least according to youtube last I checked) view this as the most funniest, popular short. It's not. It's another one of Family Guy-ish long rants over a subject I've seen fans do for the past seven plus years.

I'm not saying Seth can't be funny. When he's at his top game, then holy cats, he can punch out a joke. But when he either induces a tiresome running gag or a joke I can see coming a mile away, he does it poorly - much of what Cavalcade of Comedy composes of. Out of the three currently airing MacFarlane series, this one is the barrel of low thus far (no idea how The Cleveland Show will fair).
 
Every one of these that I have seen on Youtube has simply made me sit and stare at my screen in silence. They aren't funny--they're mean spirited and based solely on shock value--and this comes from someone who thinks one of the few appealing elements of Family Guy are the clever pop culture references and cutaways. These are just...BAD.
 
I love how much they brag that this is "uncensored", yet they just add naughty words. LOL NAUGHTY WORDS MUST BUY - Typical highschooler.

Compare the two:
"Censored" : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KKyxHAYBoY
"Uncesnored" : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghZ_dkxOwEY

Only difference is a few F-bombs and "suck my dick". That isn't uncensored, that's going back and editing it to contain more "dirty" stuff to make highschoolers and dumb college boys giggle some more. How is it better and funnier just because Mario says "**** this" instead of "Screw this"?
 
THANK YOU. It's not like I 'don't get it' it just wasn't funny. |: Why do people find it funny? It's just basically a sigh-worthy rant.

Honestly FG is successful for its characters more than anything, so this obviously is not going to do much for me.
 
Honestly, even if you found these funny (which they are painfully not), haw many times can you sit down and watch a bunch of random jokes you already know the punchlines to? Yeah, the same could be said about a lot of comedies, but the best ones have characters and stories that keep you coming back even if you know all the gags by heart (I can watch Ghostbusters or The 40 Year Old Virgin anytime and still laugh my butt off). But a mountain climber pooping on a wedding party? How many times can you watch that and still laugh? I kind of grudgingly realize why a lot of people like MacFarlane's "cutaway" style on Family Guy (which was basically YouTube before there was a YouTube...no matter what part of the episode you come in on, it doesn't matter, because the "plot" is merely a clothesline to hang as many random references to stuff MacFarlane watched on TV when he was twn as possible), but isn't the "out-of-nowhere" style of the Family Guy gags part of the appeal? Even those 30-second "Toy Story Treats" shorts on the Toy Story DVD have more replay value than this garbage.
 
Yeah for pretty much every piece of this I saw on Youtube, my reaction was "Oh God just shut up already." Even the Mario one, which people seem to like.

Absolutely terrible and predictable too yet. If Seth's aiming to annoy rather than entertain he's succeeding.
 
I know, I know, it's just the word "dick" that's the hang up of course.

It almost feels to me like they wrote the uncut versions after or something. Like "where can we insert naughty words to make it even more sophomoric teehehe". Looking at the level of tripe this collection is I wouldn't put it past them.
