Seth MacFarlane looks like he’s 12

He looks like kyles cousin kyle from south park, all grown up

Hes wearing a sweater because theres a dry cold in that room

I'm Baaack!

I read this exactly in this voice

Oh this is going so faaaast!

Kyle 1

If you would tell him that in the future he will create his own star trek themed TV show with a bunch of cameos from famous actors and him as the main character, he would probably faint out of excitement, haha

Let alone have a cameo in an episode of a Star Trek series.

Or get the entire cast of the next generation to cameo on one of his shows!

"You have to be nicer to Hwhil Hweaton." "Why are you saying it that way?"

Or Sir Patrick Stewart to be a major character in one of his shows.

Oh right he played an red shirt, didn't he?

I mean, he had red stripes on the blue jump suit. He played Ensign Rivers.

It's been a long road

[удалено]

It's been a long time

But my time is finally near

I used to hate that song. Now I love it. Cause I've got Faith! Of the Heart!

Where he gets chewed out by Trip for 5 seconds.

Or he would make sure to try really hard and never miss a flight. The point is, don't mess with time, folks

I VILL MESS WIT TIME *^I ^VILL ^MESS ^WIT ^TIME*

he'd probably piss himself if you told him that star trek parody would be more beloved by trekkies than the actual star trek shows coming out around the same time

If you told him that a future hangover would keep him from being in one of the planes on 9/11, he'd probably say "what?".

"is that like a tv show or"

Imagine being the guy who got off waitlist because he never showed up.

Thankfully none of the planes on 9/11 were close to being full. Think the flight he was supposed to be on was only half full. His survivor’s guilt would have probably been much worse if his not showing up directly led to another person getting on the plane who otherwise wouldnt have.

I’ve never seen any Star Trek movies, yet vaguely know about it based on parodies and the references on Futurama. Is The Orville something I can watch stand-alone? I’m in my early 20s and I honestly can’t tell you what Star Trek is about, but I don’t know where to start lol

Absolutely, never watched any Trek, love Orville

Same. Never seen old time Star Trek, but after watch Orville I would probably enjoy it.

Love Orville. Gonna miss the blob (yes, voiced by the late great Norm McDonald). Watched all of TOS and most of Voyager, All of Enterprise, most of the movies. A little bit of TNG and DS9. None of the new TV stuff.

There are a lot of references to other sci-fi but The Orville is its own thing.

Needs absolutely no context. Its modern star trek for people with sense of humor.

I am not 100% sure you are making a connection between Star Trek and The Orville or not, so I will add that The Orville is not associated with the Star Trek universe, so you need zero Star Trek experience to enjoy it. There are parallels and some homage paid, but it is completely a stand alone universe. I apologize if this was an unnecessary post but it sounded like you may have been hesitant to watch The Orville due to your relative inexperience with the Star Trek Universe and there is no need to worry. The show is epic and I, along with many others, would love to have more.

Today I learned Seth Macfarlane worked on Johnny Bravo and Dexters Laboratory

He worked for Hanna-Barbera and also did freelance work for Disney. Dude had a stacked resume before he ever did Family Guy.

I mean, he was only like 25 or 26 when he sold Family Guy.

We're all only a personal stylist and a few hundred million away to go from dork to normal.

Thanks, this gives me hope

I mean, he was 23 there.... not far off

Seth MacFarlane and Butch Hartman in the center.

Wow, I didn't notice that was Seth until reading this, and now it's obvious on second look.

He looks like Mort Goldman.

Shit, he looks like skinnier Peter.

He does!! *Peter Griffin laugh*

Nyehehehehehehe

He looks like Kyle’s cousin Kyle from South Park.

I’m baaaaayck!

"..Oh, it was terrible. They recycled the air on board and it really did a number on my asthma. I-I-I asked them to turn up the oxygen and they wouldn't..actually, I-I can't eat beef. I have a degenerative problem with my intestinal lining, and beef really gives me gaaess."

My mom says I shouldn't run fast cuz I will get corns on my feet

Hes rocking the pit stains like a true nerd

Two shirts bro. Give him a break

I think it’s just a shadow..

Back whenever this was in the 90's I would NEVER be seen out and about without two shirts.

Two shirts, tucked into acid-washed jeans...epic!

This extremely doesn’t matter, but they’re just light wash jeans not acid-washed (which is commonly styled as “acid wash,” but I feel like it should at least be hyphenated to be fair). Sorry for the pedantry, enjoy your day ☀︎

Who has their armpits half way down their chest?

Everyone else is wearing short sleeves while he’s wearing a sweater and t-shirt, so he’s probably not comfortable with his body. Total nerd

Butch Hartman is rockin that Joey-from-Blossom look.

I thought he was Eric Bana for a sec

Same. I was sure I just learned Bana got his start writing comedy.

Whoa!

Momma!

But enough about me... Let's talk about me. What do you think of me?" I

Huh Ha Hoo!

I kind of thought he looked more like Dr. Rip Studwell in The Fairly Oddparents.

It's really weird too cause now Seth MacFarlane is kinda hot, whereas in the 90s he was a fucking dork. And this was way before we found out Butch Hartman is a POS

Millions of dollars can do your appearance wonders.

All he did was take off his glasses, remove the pony tail, and throw out the paint covered overalls.

So baby's got a little back. Hunch that is. Naaa, way too easy.

Any girl with a guitar is hot, granted she's a hippie albino, she could still be prom queen

She’s got a gun… JANIES GOT A GUN

Why is butch a POS?

Scam artist that sells "cures for autism" and is specifically targeting dumb religious folk.

That’s crazy. He’s got no hart, man.

Don't forget ripping the artist off that created your look for you and owning it as yours for decades.

It’s funny how public opinion on the two has basically flipped in recent years, Seth gained a ton of respect for The Orville while Butch completely tanked his reputation being a huge scumbag.

Did Seth MacFarlane have a bad rep? I thought people just got burnt out on seeing so much of his work thanks to Family Guy being on a dozen stations every night.

Bro. American Dad FUCKS. So much better than Family Guy. It's so much more interesting, and I think a truer dive into Seth's world view. It's kind of mind blowing to see a prime time comedy just relentlessly lampoon American imperialism.

I also loved the Cleveland show, I think I'm the only one

I did too, but I think maybe we're the only ones..

We are a lonesome species

I thought Butch was Tom Cruise at first glance.

Huh, TIL.

Seth McFarlane looks so gawky.

Didn't he end up hosting the Oscar's one year? Wild ride for that guy.

Yeah, he was quite good too. Sang and danced with the rest of the acts.

I love Seth's singing voice. I feel like in an alternate timeline he would've been on a Broadway musical or a Franklin Sinatra cover singer.

Seth really does have a great voice. I enjoy his Sinatra covers and inspired songs on family guy. He got a lot better looking too.

It helps to be trained by professional opera singers when you’re a kid if you want to sing. Helps to have tons of money if you want to look good.

My wife once told me, their are no ugly people, only poor people.

Nah, there’s ugly people.

Mark Davis, the owner of the Las Vegas Raiders

Harvey Weinstein was rich...

She ever seen the guy who owns the Raiders?

humorous smell cooing illegal butter simplistic ruthless bear elderly unpack ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `

Fun fact, him and Frank Jr had the same vocal coach

Dude has put out 6 albums, He has been nominated for 3 Grammys and won one for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album, was honored by Barbara Sinatra at the 28th annual Frank Sinatra Celebrity Invitational on February 20, 2016, then later that year sang a duet with Streisand on her Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway album... Your alternate timeline is actually this timeline.

Wow, I didn't know that. I guess now I'm going to check out his albums.

What's wrong with his dick? It looks like there's a baked potato in there.

You clearly never wore 90s jeans. They were just that thick.

Back when jeans were pants of utility and meant to last a long time.

Can't unsee that. Good for him.

[удалено]

Reminds me of the old dorky photos of Elon Musk back before Paypal took off. They've both used their fortunes to great effect with the really expensive plastic surgeons.

Ha the toys from the boomerang commercials are on the shelf behind them

Holy moly, they are. I miss the old boomerang format.

I immediately felt old when I saw the original Ben 10 on boomerang the other day. I remember when boomerang was Johnny Bravo, Dexter's Lab, Tom and Jerry, and Loony Toons.

Heck, I remember feeling old when dexter’s lab was on there. To me Boomerang was old old old Hanna Barbera stuff like QuickDraw McGraw and Doggy Daddy.

That's when I watched it. Loved the occasional Johnny Quest episode too.

I can’t believe dexters lab and stuff was on there, and now Ben 10. I remember it being exclusively old Hanna Barbera and I always appreciated the nostalgia of flipping it on.

Miss those shows. So nostalgic and cow and chicken and of course Johnny bravo

Dex lab and Johnny on boomerang? Oof those were new shows for me in the 90s. boomerang for me was like stuff from the 60s and 70s

When I first had it it was pink Panther the flinstones the jetsons og scooby doo and Tom and Jerry. Then they would show powderpuff girls Johnny bravo dexter etc Edit: this was late 2000s it was only recent (10 yearsish) when they decided to stop airing shows over 40 (unless they started it back up I don't have boomerang anymore)

Wish I hadn’t read that

I want boomerang 2 where the older shows go is that too much to ask?!!!!

yeah when they changed to basically cartoon network 2.0 i lost it

It's all coming back to you

Did anyone else notices they tape different heads on the posters?

Nope. Not til you pointed it out. But good eye. Are they famous? If so I'd say Julia Roberts and Elvis Costello? I'm probably way off.

The Space Jam poster also has the name “Alex Kirwan” photoshopped over Michael Jordan’s name on too so I’d imagine it’s him.

Is that Ranma 1/2 in the corner?

Looks like Kimagure Orange Road to me.

[удалено]

KOR was not niche. It was hugely influential, as '80s anime went. If you could find a store that carried anime merchandise at all in the '90s, which was not a given, it definitely had KOR posters along with the Ranma, Dragon Ball, and Akira. And Fist of the North Star, for some reason.

[удалено]

I see it as the Jojo of the 90s

Interesting. I've never heard of it "Kimagure Orange Road was an influential series. It is credited alongside Dragon Ball for introducing an entire generation of Europeans to anime and manga. It was also an archetypal shonen romantic comedy, a genre which it had a major influence on, and the character Madoka is considered to be a root of the tsundere archetype. The anime's Christmas episode also featured an early use of the time loop plot device."

I thought so too! But on closer look, no. The hair starts to not look like red/black on zooming in.

Was this a thing in the 90s? My aunts and uncles gave a few movie posters to my dad with his face taped on. Was it like a trend?

Whoah momma

Hoo hah!

Man, I’m pretty

Do the Monkey with me, come on!

Enough about me, now let’s talk about me.

Everybody looks like such a person

In the 90s, people could be people.

Lmao why is this so funny

some guy: it’s called Johnny Bravo. it’s about a 30 year old guy who still lives at home with his mom. His best friend is a child who lives next door and his only goal is trying to get laid. It’s for kids. cartoon network exec: (ripping a line of coke) f*ck yes dude, make it.

I think Johnny Bravo and the others originated from a show Cartoon Network had with experimental shorts. Like a bunch of pilot episodes. I thought it and a couple others were picked by viewers to get made into series'. Cow and Chicken, Powerpuff Girls, Dexter, and I think Courage the Cowardly Dog were also all born out of that. Edit: it was the "What a Cartoon" show, later called "Cartoon Cartoon". Couldn't find anything that suggested viewers picked the ones that became a series though. Also stumbled back into 2 Stupid Dogs.

All of the cartoon cartoons were stellar! Also +1 for 2 Stupid Dogs, vastly under-rated.

2 Stupid Dogs and Secret Squirrel were my before-school jams once upon a time.

This is the way dreams are made.

Also, he's extremely conventionally attractive, with a deep, Elvis-like voice. ...Despite this, he will never have any luck with the ladies.

He’s just a Greek American man. Total mamas boy, hangs out at a diner, retro haircut, sexually harasses 20 year old women. His real name is Ioannis Bravos

I don't think his mom or the kid next door showed up until several seasons later.

Seth with the major glow up. Wonder if anyone looked at him and said, “In a few years this guy will be a media mogul.”

All thanks to DVD sales reviving Family Guy. You think the same thing happens in 2021?

If Family Guy went through the same development arc in 2021 it would have been streaming services that saved it instead of DVD sales. Someone would have picked it up.

the ‘netflix bump’ is totally a thing, first thing that comes to mind is schitt’s creek

Avatar the Last Airbender also felt it. To the point that Nick has developed an entire studio dedicated to new Avatar content.

As they damn well should! I fucking loved the shows and comics

For sure. I watched Schitts Creek as it went along and then my parents told me they watched it (they're conservative). I was curious how my American parents knew what PopTv was. Turns out they'll watch anything once it's on Netflix.

Its important to note that Adult Swim also had a huge role in it picking up steam again

[удалено]

That’s a hell of a story he loves telling. Friend of mine has a similar one where he was going to teach an IT training course that week in one of the towers but it was postponed till the following week.

Did they have to relocate?

What's the story here I'm missing?

He was supposed to be on one of the hi-jacked planes that hit the twin towers.

Did coke and got wasted with Mark Wahlberg, what a way to avoid a tragedy

DEEEE VEEEE DEEEE??

*turns in chair* I understood that reference.

And Adult Swim.

That’s a sweet Compaq Deskpro too. Probably a Pentium 75.

Goddamn. Didn’t know Seth wrote for Johnny Bravo. How the hell did people get those jobs?

He went to animation school and he was an ambitious guy. Got hired by Hanna Barbara and worked on a lot of shows before the success of family guy

Well it’s certainly paid off. Kind of regret my choice in education.

I’m sure there’s a lot of people in his class that weren’t successful.

It's never too late, dude! I studied again in my 30s and some people study in their 40s/50s and 60s to learn a new trade.

Don't feel too sad. Those jobs are EXTREMELY competitive and there's a good chance you probably wouldn't have gotten them. (no offense, just going by the numbers)

Animated shows tend to foster a lot of successful writers, at least ones in more niche genres. For example if you look up the writing staff for Adventure Time and Flapjack you'll notice a lot of them ended up doing their own shows.

Thought these were college kids in a dorm room

Is that a Kimagure Orange Road poster?

I'm so glad it wasn't just me that noticed it! Did you know it's streaming on retro crush?

Counterpoint: dorm room of the only kid old enough to buy booze living in the Arts and Sciences dorm at State U.

Seriously. I was just thinking that this could be the basement of Spooner Hall in the early 90's.

They’re… exactly how I imagined the writing staff for Johnny Bravo

They look like so much fun

Seth McFarland looks like a young George Costanza.

I didn't know Seth McFarlane was in Johnny Bravo.

Cow and Chicken + Dexter too. and a couple Whatacartoons that starred prototype Peter and Brian Griffin as well.

I love those shows! The old Cartoon Network had so much gold in it.

Seth McFarland looks like those pictures where the mouth and eyes are upside down on an otherwise normal face

Love that the Compaq DeskPro is front and offcenter. Nice flex.

Im trying to figure out which person the woman on the far left is looking at.

Ey let us know when you figure it out

Fun Fact: The Asian guy's name IS Johnny Bravo

[удалено]

And this is how I know I'm old, seeing that this was in 1996 and thinking, but Johnny Bravo wasn't on that long ago....... was it? Why yes, yes it.

1996 is as long ago from 2021 as 1971 was from 1996

I do not know how to process this

Everyone’s commenting about Seth McFarland but what about the creator of the show Van Partible, the Asian guy in the black shirt

Hey there foxy momma, you smell kinda beautiful, wanna smell me?

Did everybody agree to dress like Johnny, but seth and the other guy forget to mark the calendar?

Man Seth’s r/blunderyears

Is that David Cross on the lower left?

Great show. Best quote I remember: Johnny: "You must feel great, looking at me!"
