you may not recognize his face but you
definitely know his voice

think Jesus Christ was so popular
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be learning more about the life and
career of Seth MacFarlane Seth Woodbury
MacFarlane was born October 26 1973 in
Kent Connecticut at age 2 he began
sketching beloved characters like Woody
Woodpecker and Fred Flintstone and soon
his hometown paper ran an original
cartoon strip he created after high
school MacFarlane followed his dream by
enrolling in film video and animation at
one of the country’s top art schools the
Rhode Island School of Design oh hi
there you scared the crap out of me I’m
here to tell you about a fantabulous new
series concept I’ve developed while
there he produced the animated short the
life of Larry in 1995 well wasn’t even
in this apartment I mean some nut in his
underpants could just walking off the
street bang on the door the man God
knows what you guys have any cheez-its I
mean I think we should move and this
served as both his thesis and as a
prototype for the show that eventually
made him famous the powers that be at
the legendary animation house
hanna-barbera got hold of Larry and were
so impressed with MacFarlane skills they
hired him to work on shows like Dexter’s
Laboratory and Johnny Bravo MacFarlane
then produced a follow-up to Larry which
got the attention of Fox after a failed
attempt to hire him to create animated
skits for Mad TV network execs gave
MacFarlane $50,000 for an animated pilot
it seems today that all you see is
violence in move
and sex on TV but where are those good
old-fashioned values which we used to
six months of hard work hand drawing and
channeling his edgy humour paid off when
Fox picked up MacFarlane show Family
Guy’s debut episode got a plum spot
right after Super Bowl 33 when 22
million people tuned in to see the
show’s wealth of pop-culture references
and it’s crude politically incorrect
humor Meg you don’t need to change the
way you look you know most of the
world’s problems stem from poor
self-image
not only was MacFarlane the creative
mind behind the project he was also the
voice of many of the show’s main
characters you’ve impede my work since
the day I escaped from your wretched
womb who would have thought getting
drunk at a stag party you’d get me a
hundred and fifty thousand bucks a week
from the government this is why I don’t
vote in 2000 he took home a Primetime
Emmy for his voiceover work
unfortunately the network tossed the
show from time slot to timeslot this
cost the series valuable followers and
eventually Family Guy was officially
cancelled in 2002 that was the same year
MacFarlane won an Emmy for Outstanding
music and lyrics so let’s go see the USA
they’ll treat you right unless you’re
black or gay or Cherokee
but life after family guy was not dull
for this up-and-comer MacFarlane lent
his voice to a few other animated shows
and appeared on-screen in programs like
Gilmore Girls and Star Trek Enterprise
he also began developing a new adult
oriented cartoon series meanwhile just
because Family Guy was off the air did
not mean people stopped watching the
show won legions of fans through reruns
and DVD sales this renewed interest
resuscitated the show and Fox made the
shocking move to bring new episodes of
the series to TV in 2005 MacFarlane also
unveiled a new show that year American
Dad eventually became a success with
MacFarlane again taking on voice roles
and skewering right-wing politics you
know dad it’s great that you and your
CIA buddies have created a fun little
system to keep the masses paralyzed in
fear
you’re like shaving your armpits Hayley
ah cuz if the terrorists take over this
country that’s the first thing to go
with to hit cartoons MacFarlane set out
to do something different in 2007 he
served as executive producer on the Rob
Corddry series the winner but it failed
after just six episodes the next year he
made a splash online with the webseries
Seth MacFarlane’s cavalcade of cartoon
comedy we are gathered here today to ask
the blessing of the Lord our God for
this union of Mark and Stephanie but
McFarlane had more hit cartoon ideas up
his sleeve the Family Guy spin-off The
Cleveland Show began in 2009 the hell
he’s getting his own show and MacFarlane
became the highest paid TV producer to
that point with a 100 million dollar
three-year deal for his three shows in
2010 he appeared in the critically
panned but commercially successful
comedy toothfairy and began serving as
host of various Comedy Central roasts so
we’re going to take a few pokes at him
here tonight but there is no denying the
Charlie Sheen is an icon you’ve seen him
on TV you’ve seen him in movies and if
you’re a prostitute you’ve seen a
pointed gun at your face while you try
to get him home he then showed off his
impressive musical talent by releasing
music is better than words
in 2011 the other cream in my coffee
you’re the salt in my stew get it now
where he’s saying Big Ben jazz and
traditional standards he branched out in
2012 by making his feature-length
directorial debut with Ted where he also
voiced the title character when you hear
the sound of thunder don’t you get too
scared just grab your Thunder buddy and
say these magic words but perhaps his
most atypical project was a revival of
Carl Sagan’s popular show cosmos in an
effort to underscore the importance of
science fans of the original will know
more or less what to look forward if
you’ve never seen the original you
haven’t heard of it a lot of them are
dead so what are you telling as a
comedian McFarland’s humor has sometimes
gotten him into trouble he has been
named in various lawsuits and his
sometimes offensive shows have been the
subject of boycott attempts however
mcfarland has offered his support for
issues like gay rights and marriage
equality
despite the controversy MacFarlane has
led the charge for animation domination
and has become a star in the process
that is just with his quick wit talent
and trademark voice seth macfarlane
became one of the most important names
in cartoon history Oh for the love of
penis
definitely know his voice
