[QUOTE=General J;52233330]Seth Mcfarlane doing something that's not an animated family sitcom? I'd give it a chance.[/QUOTE] [IMG]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/22/A_Million_Ways_to_Die_in_the_West_poster.jpg[/IMG] That said this looks okay. It got a few nose exhales out of me but I doubt I'll be plugging the cable box back in for it.
One problem is IMO, Seth can't act in live action. He is great in voice roles.
Seth's got a good humour taste, the problem was that he was doing shows that he didn't give a fuck about anymore which is why most of his shows fell flat after a few seasons iirc he wanted to cancel family guy but FOX refused to because they were making so much money off it
[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;52233962]Was that the dude from Legends of Tomorrow at the start?[/QUOTE] don't forget the dad from Alias
After seeing Seth McFarlane in the title I was getting ready to really cringe But after seeing the trailer, I don't think it's actually that bad. I was pleasantly surprised when each joke wasn't Family Guy tier shock/cringe humor
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;52234289]Seth's got a good humour taste[/QUOTE] haha [editline]16th May 2017[/editline] good humour. like the joke in this trailer 'haha women always gettin mad at the terlit seat!!!'
[QUOTE=RichyZ;52234443]Theres no way youve seen a million ways to die in the west if you honestly truly believe the man is funny[/QUOTE] I saw that movie in theaters and I don't remember a single thing about it. I don't even think I particularly disliked it, it's just apparently the least memorable movie I've ever seen. I think there was a Django Unchained reference at some point? What the fuck, Liam Neeson was in this movie? Even the reviews for it mention how forgettable it is. [quote]"There are enough laughs scattered throughout A Million Ways to Die in the West that while you're watching it, the movie seems like a passable comedy. By the time you get home, though, you can barely remember the jokes."[/quote]
it is and is gonna be terrible
i can already tell this is gonna fail since it's coming from seth macfarlane.
I thought a Million Ways to Die was very... well. It was very. I can remember a few scenes if I tried. It helped that it was the first movie that my boyfriend and I actually saw together, so those are free points I guess. I think Seth McFarlane gets timing, and solid delivery. He doesn't seem to get wit, or depth, or really anything beyond that though. But his timing has always been spot-on as far as comedy he's made/produced goes, and he knows how to command good delivery. For compare and contrast value: Ted. That movie had no [I]jokes.[/I] Plenty of "funny moments," like the whole schtick with Flash Gordon, or the opening narration by Patrick Stewart, but if you asked me what jokes that movie had, I'd be absolutely lost. I guess the Teddy bear and his adult-best-friend getting stoned as fuck together in a smash-cut counts as a joke. [I]That[/I] movie is a thousand times less memorable for me. Orville looks like it'll be a decently bland low-to-middle-brow comedy, and that's fine. Hell, it might actually do something fun and interesting with it's budget, since it looks like they're going all in on that. I don't think everything needs to be Rick And Morty or some other 'so deep' and 'so clever' comedy with nuance and meaning. I even think the world needs someone to deliver some simple, stupid comedy. I enjoy Family Guy and American Dad in small doses, for instance. Orville might be that for me.

He churns out so many shit stuff but people still seem to lap it up.
I guess my sense of humour and taste has apparently become shit since I last remembered according to Facepunch standards, but I didn't think it looked that bad. Just seemed like a typical sitcom to me, don't know what kind of humour is to be expected from a family sitcom show

Looks like utter trash. Just like anything else Seth McFarlane has produced so far.
It looks trashy as heck but that seems to be what they're going for and hopefully they pull it off. I'm hadrly hyped but definitely curious.
The only thing I honestly found funny was him stepping through that gelatin alien.
Doesn't look as bad as I expected, I'll probably watch it to at least see how it actually plays out.
If it hits netflix after its initial run I'll probably watch it.
This thread reminds me of the type of guy at work who thinks [U][B]anything[/B][/U] related to McFarlane is like the comedy Black Plague, and then watches some dead show like Brickleberry and say it was the best thing ever.

This show makes me sad. Not because it's going to be good or bad, but because whatever happens it will taint the idea of a sci-fi farce for years to come. Meaning we'll not see something like Galaxy Quest for a long long long time. Did anyone else feel like this is an Adam Sandler movie in tv form?
I think Seth would be great as an actor who's delivering lines written by someone else. But man, like 30 seconds into this trailer and we get a whole 15 seconds dedicated to toilet humor, then later in the trailer another 15 seconds of domestic fight humor. the only thing that differentiates this humor from any other time it's been implemented is the context, and that kind of joke can only last so long. eugh.
I actually think it looks pretty good. I won't get hyped about it or anything, but I'd be more than willing to give a few episodes a chance.
if it's got a "loosened it for you" joke in the trailer, i'm suspicious
it's a sci-fi show on fox, it'll last just 1 season.
It looks bad but in a watchable way. I'll certainly give it a go, always open to fun sci-fi
