@@DeathToMayo Yeah but money is the top priority in if a television show gets continued. Even on networks that allow more creative freedom shows can start to cost much more than they produce and be cancelled because of that. And obviously mainstream networks like Fox are gonna do everything they can to keep generating cash off of Family Guy. I do agree with his point about how the show should've went, Family Guy was consistently solid for its first 4 seasons then gets rocky and another 4 years pass and it's pretty much down the shitter.
Most of the comments forget how different Family Guy was in the beginning seasons. Back when Seth was ACTUALLY working on family guy as a writer and director, the show was genuinely charming and funny like this pilot. The Griffin family was relatively healthy and the characters were actually likable (especially Brian who was a lot like Steve). It wasn’t until later seasons when Family Guy depended on violent gags and dark meta humor that it tanked, which to be fair, Seth wasn’t a part other than voice acting. It’s sad to see what Family Guy’s become.
It's because Seth doesn't want to do anything else with family Guy. He's got a bunch of other projects he'd rather be working on. I think he's just using family Guy as a safety net in case of those don't pan out.
I remember that. It was a smartly-written show with actual character development and moments thatll make you smile. Then it was cancelled. And when it came back it was a slobbering mess of violence and memes. I distinctly remember when I stopped watching the show- it was the episode where Stewie wanted his money from Brian, and it devolved into like a 5 minute segment of him getting brutally beaten, cut, dunked in the toilet while Stewie just goes "WHERES MY MONEY BITCH?" and Im sitting there like, ".....this isnt funny."
Guy Incognito itd be the same. we'd all be like "Larry and Steve is running out of ideas". Also we're all sick of current Futurama and wish it was cancelled, and reminisce about how classic futurama was better
Futurama is Family Guy in our universe I'm guessing. Because I don't know what people are going on about with "classic Family Guy". I don't even know what that means. Where does old family guy end? There are tons of good episodes in the past few seasons.
Anti-HyperLink Actually Futurama is the Simpsons. The Simpsons gets cancelled for a few years and is picked up by...G4TV...only to end after 2 seasons.
knuclear2010 Right, I totally thought of that later on. So what about American Dad? And what, people hate the Simpsons now? And Futurama was cancelled and picked up? Hmm. I have yet to watch that in full. And I'm probably never going to watch the Simpsons. it's not on Netflix and I honestly don't have the motivation to watch it online!
Because this was made with passion, and they actually had to impress the audience so that they watch the show. Nowadays people will watch family guy no matter how bad it is
"You're be indirectly responsible for the resulting Euthanasia" "Oh man they got enough kids over there as it is..." ....It's ben 10 fucking years and I just got that fucking joke!
seth's too dumb to write a show good enough. FG, AD, idc what ever he touches with his finger rots. the trick is, even if he's cowriting a show, as long as the other person making it with him is good, it can be okay
"You'll be responsible for the resulting euthanasia." "OH boy, they got enough kids over there as it is." That joke was simple as hell but damn was it good.
deathknight2400 From my perspective, it just seems like a poorly-made show, with the overuse of slapstick humor and flat personalities all around. Maybe I would've liked it if it had taken off, but it seems like it would've died out in the mid or early 2000s. It just doesn't seem unique enough to last two decades.
"you will be indirectly responsible for the resulting euthanasia" "oh boy they got enough kids over there as it is" that genuinely got a laugh out of me
This looks like an actual cartoon rather than the sitcom style crap they pump out now, where everyone stands in the same side angle and everything is in a wide shot
this was Seth McFarlane's one shot, he'd go on to make Johnny bravo after, and eventually use this duo of "Larry & Steve" concept to eventually make Peter & Brian on family guy
Imagine Larry and Steve crosses with Peter and Brian. That would be an insane crossover "So your human is..." "Yeah, they could be brothers...But Peter is a nice guy."
5:16 "I I think I know what I'm talking about alright? Alright, I didn't spend 12 years in kindergarten because I'm stupid" "Why then?" "I got my foot caught in the radiator" is the single greatest line and I'm pissed they didn't make a green light for this show
It's because this wasn't an actual attempt at a show. This was just a pilot they made for "what a cartoon" fox wanted to work with Seth after seeing this so he made family guy
It's pretty nuts that Seth went from a shy kid who likes to draw cartoons, to becoming successful behind the scenes in the animation industry, to getting his shot at a pilot, to creating a massively successful show, to hosting the damn Oscars. Any one of those things would be a career highlight, and a dream to a kid from Rhode Island.
To be honest it was easier in the 1980's and 1990's to become an animator. Cable TV was in its prime and networks were pumping large amounts of money to pick pick animators straight out of college and put them into roles in network television. In fact in the case of Steve MacFarlane's his college professor sent a copy of his first Larry and Steve skit to Hanna Barbara which resulted in this skit here. If you look at the earliest Mike Judge animation skit with Beavis and Butthead the animation is so crude it would have been rejected by Disney then and now. Though, with that being said more riskey adult animation came into vouge following The Simpsons. Allowing for a range of animation styles and approaches to become valued. Another example is the crude cutout animation style of South Park which started as a mere college thesis, like Steve and Larry, but eventually was picked up for a full show after an exclusive viewed the short. These days it isn't so simple as to create a 2d animated skit and get hired by a major network right out of college. Especially with streaming, youtube, 3D animation, computer animation in general and styles like anime are now the norm the field has become more complicated to navigate through as a upcoming animator. You really can't expect Fox to pick up your college thesis in animation as a pilot like what might have happened to someone in the early days of adult animation on cable television.
“Peter are you falling asleep?!” “I’m not there’s just a fly in my eye and I’m trying to suffocate it” First couple seasons are very much Seth’s writing primarily and very funny/clever
Holy crap, I think I remember seeing this back in the 90s on the What a Cartoon show Fun Fact: "What a cartoon" was a show of just pilots that Cartoon Network thought was entertaining enough to show off to the public. At which point, they'd gauge thier audience's reaction to decide whether to green light it as a full fledged show or not. If my memory is correct, it helped pilot Powerpuff Girls, Two Stupid Dogs, Dexter' Lab, & Courage the Cowardly Dog. Just checked wikipedia: Apparently it also helped launch Johnny Bravo
That's because Peter, Brian and Quagmire are all voiced by MacFarlane and he's obviously providing all the male voices in this cartoon. And the funny thing is that Quagmire is a pilot too.
I'm so upset. After the amount of times I've watched this video over my nostalgia for Steve and OLD-Brian, I never noticed that the pilot is Quagmire. @Ideas/Memories/Snapchat Nope
The Fox Exec: Now Seth, you can either have integrity or boatloads of money with three of the exact same show and two movies, what do you say? Seth: You had me at me boatloads.
Why is it cool, to hate family guy. Like grow the fuck up. Its still pretty funny. Also if you didn't know, Seth Mcfarlane use to write for dexters lab, Johnny Bravo, and Cow n Chicken
I like how you can hear the the inflections in Seth’s voice that travelled over to the characters in the family guy pilot and continued to develop through the seasons. It’s cool to see things like this, because it’s interesting to see the things that transfer over and the things that don’t. For example, Brian had a similar design (the large black nose, floppy ears, walking on two legs), just with a different colour palette, whereas Peters design is almost 100% different even down to the different colour of trousers. You can even hear quagmires voice in the pilot, even though they look nothing alike, with the only thing in common being the fact they’re both pilots. I wonder whether he was meant to be a recurring character in this version of the show, or whether it was another one off gag. It’s just interesting to see how concepts change, but how people saw the general tone of the show and could see what it could become if it had a little alteration (changing the main character from Brian to Peter, changing names, ages, backstories, and adding a family element to relate to more of the audience).

@@worldcomicsreview354 Ah, Its been so long , all the years of the show kind of get jumbled together. I believe Dexter is older though. I could be wrong. like I said, it's been a long time. Also they had re runs, so that could also account for not knowing who won when. all I remember is Dexter, Johnny, Billy and Mandy, Courage and KND won. There might be a couple others.
Was a Democracy election by Votes. I think this was the time when Dexter Laboratory Won and have a Series. But yeah from this segment to many cartoons born. Or someones turns into a new thing.
***** Then you must get your eyes checked. Even Seth MacFarlane commented during the first (and second) seasons how crummy the animation was. For example, during the song & dance "let's go to the hop", Peter's head shrinks and then grows as he's dancing on the table while his body remains the same size. That's just one example of many, many sloppy animated jobs that was eventually ironed out by mid-season 2 (eg: the Mila Kunis days).
It just goes to show that Seth McFarland can be funny without being dirty. Sad it couldn't stay that way. You can definitely hear Peter and Brian. Ironically, you can even hear Quagmire in the pilot's voice.
I remember loving this when I was a kid, I could tell his humor was more aimed for adults than kids. But I think it’s cool how he recycled some of these characters into family guy
This Pilot actually has way more animation depth with the movement, facial expressions and just all round production value. I can understand why it got toned down and changed for a show with episodes and a schedule, just thought it was worth pointing out.
Well, that's the kind of great animation you get, when you have Robert Alvarez in charge of the anmation (the man's a legend and he doesn't kid around. Why do you think that the Swat Kats came out s cool? It's all thanks to him and Genndy Tartakovsky, who worked on that show, before getting their big breaks).
This short was inspired in big part by hannah barbera, as was the animation, even the saleswoman has red hair like all hannah barbera wives. Hell even Lois ended up as a red head wife.
This is honestly better written and more entertaining than Family Guy has become. First few seasons were a lot closer to this vision for a show set up, wonder where it all went wrong.
Honestly this is in another ballpark to most of Family Guy but you can definitely see this style of comedy shine through in its earlier seasons. Makes me wonder what this show could have been had it actually been made into a show as is
@@Suzume175 I appreciate the amount of thought you put into this response, and I totally agree. OG FG was great, and ever since it came back, it slowly bled out the good writers and character traits. It's basically just Robot Chicken with a concrete cast, and it lost all sense of why it was there in the first place. Same thing happened to the Simpsons, you can't even follow the story from start to finish without being like "What the hell, how did we get here in the plot?"
I like how the scenes of hearing Steve just bark is not only to show that nobody can understand him, but also as a way to censor what he's actually saying. edit: wait why does this have nearly 500 likes
It's not used for that though if you actually listen to what he's saying. The barking just cuts up the sentence. "Listen kid, I need your help. You gotta get me outta here or else I'm" BARKBARKBARKBARK "finished for good" "Yeah, isn't that cute, I could" BARKBARKBARKBARK "wade my feet in your makeup" There aren't really any swears or anything else worth censoring that fit organically in the middle of these sentences. Personally I think they should have done what you're saying, missed opportunity, but they didn't
@@BerriBoi150 Someone made and edited version where they actually curse/cuss so it could be censorship. There’s a rumour that there’s a tape where the voice actors actually cursed but no one knows if it’s real.

@@awesomeninja9178 This cartoon was just an animation that Seth worked on for "What a cartoon" in 1995 for cartoon network. Fox reached out to him and asked if he would try to do a full-time show so he created family guy.
@@awesomeninja9178 fox was pushing for family shows after the success of the Simpsons. They even tried to influence South Park into a show that revolved around 1 family.
It wasn't a Family Guy pilot, whoever uploaded this is a doofus. This is basically something Seth did a few years before Family Guy, which this has some clear parallels to and which Seth has said some of the early Family Guy concepts took from. This isn't a "pilot" for that show, though.
What's funny is that there was actually this one scene in Family Guy where Brain was talking to Peter about emergency. Peter couldn't understand Brain's human talk and so Brain started barking like a dog and for some reason, Peter understood every "word" he said. This cartoon reminds me of that one particular Family Guy scene.
loved this series when it showed un on What A Cartoon on CN years ago which was a platform for experimental shows. Too bad this show (and Mina and the count) ended up just pilots/oneshots.

MrSnoopaloop503 I think it's because Seth does Steve's voice in his normal voice among other similarities of Family Guy that made people think it's a Family Guy "pilot"
It's a shame this didn't pick up. I love the 90s cartoon style that shows back then had and it is so much better than the flat & boring digital animation we have today with so much motion interpolation and even fewer animation steps.
@asmodeusguys4472 it really isn't, they use techniques that might look sophisticated, but in reality it's only to cut corners using a piece of software everyone in the industry uses as standard now...
I think Family Guy would've been more original if Seth followed the idiot man and the talking sane dog idea as the structure of Family Guy rather than make a half copy of The Simpsons and half of this idea. I mean, the early seasons of Family Guy were genius, but it also felt like a Simpsons wannabe and this cartoon could have made it even more unique. Rick and Morty for example, is an adult cartoon and also has family, but it's entirely based on the mad scientist and his insecure moral grandson and doesn't feel like a Back to the Future copy. That is why I prefer American Dad because the dad is a professional spy and not a cheap version of Homer.
This isn't the pilot for Family guy. This is a whole different show created by Seth MacFarlane a few years before Family Guy. Peter and Brian are based on this two, but the 2 shows have nothing to do with each other
MARTIN it has nothing to do. but its inspired the existence of family guy.. without this short.. family guy wouldnt exist or atleast became a whole different show

It's pretty nuts that Seth went from a shy kid who likes to draw cartoons, to becoming successful behind the scenes in the animation industry, to getting his shot at a pilot, to creating a massively successful show, to hosting the damn Oscars.

He's an October Scorpio. Seth MacFarlane's zodiac sign.
To be honest it was easier in the 1980's and 1990's to become an animator. Cable TV was in its prime and networks were pumping large amounts of money to pick pick animators straight out of college and put them into roles in network television. In fact in the case of Steve MacFarlane's his college professor sent a copy of his first Larry and Steve skit to Hanna Barbara which resulted in this skit here. If you look at the earliest Mike Judge animation skit with Beavis and Butthead the animation is so crude it would have been rejected by Disney then and now. Though, with that being said more riskey adult animation came into vouge following The Simpsons. Allowing for a range of animation styles and approaches to become valued. Another example is the crude cutout animation style of South Park which started as a mere college thesis, like Steve and Larry, but eventually was picked up for a full show after an exclusive viewed the short.
These days it isn't so simple as to create a 2d animated skit and get hired by a major network right out of college. Especially with streaming, youtube, 3D animation, computer animation in general and styles like anime are now the norm the field has become more complicated to navigate through as a upcoming animator. You really can't expect Fox to pick up your college thesis in animation as a pilot like what might have happened to someone in the early days of adult animation on cable television.

I like how you can hear the the inflections in Seth’s voice that travelled over to the characters in the family guy pilot and continued to develop through the seasons. It’s cool to see things like this, because it’s interesting to see the things that transfer over and the things that don’t. For example, Brian had a similar design (the large black nose, floppy ears, walking on two legs), just with a different colour palette, whereas Peters design is almost 100% different even down to the different colour of trousers. You can even hear quagmires voice in the pilot, even though they look nothing alike, with the only thing in common being the fact they’re both pilots. I wonder whether he was meant to be a recurring character in this version of the show, or whether it was another one off gag.
It’s just interesting to see how concepts change, but how people saw the general tone of the show and could see what it could become if it had a little alteration (changing the main character from Brian to Peter, changing names, ages, backstories, and adding a family element to relate to more of the audience).

Ya gotta wonder how the animation on this "pilot" is so much better than the entire first season of Family Guy, yet produced years earlier.
A cheap budget was probably part of Family Guy's pitch.
Well this is just a single episode with it's own budget. Entire seasons of shows have set budgets and the producers have to disperse it wisely.
I don't know what you're talking about. The first season looked fine,
***** Then you must get your eyes checked. Even Seth MacFarlane commented during the first (and second) seasons how crummy the animation was. For example, during the song & dance "let's go to the hop", Peter's head shrinks and then grows as he's dancing on the table while his body remains the same size. That's just one example of many, many sloppy animated jobs that was eventually ironed out by mid-season 2 (eg: the Mila Kunis days).
The american animation market collapsed in the early 2000s and studios had to outsource more often to third world countries.

Well, that's the kind of great animation you get, when you have Robert Alvarez in charge of the anmation (the man's a legend and he doesn't kid around. Why do you think that the Swat Kats came out s cool? It's all thanks to him and Genndy Tartakovsky, who worked on that show, before getting their big breaks).

It's basically just Robot Chicken with a concrete cast, and it lost all sense of why it was there in the first place. Same thing happened to the Simpsons, you can't even follow the story from start to finish without being like "What the hell, how did we get here in the plot?"
6:15 Early version of Quagmire???
I still can't believe Family Guy hasn't brought in these characters from the old pilot yet.
Probably some kind of weird copyright thing with them and Cartoon Network.
I don't think Seth owns these likenesses.
"hey Brain remember da time when I was your land lord and we went shoppin'? "
Cartoon Network won't allow it.
Seriously!
I like how the scenes of hearing Steve just bark is not only to show that nobody can understand him, but also as a way to censor what he's actually saying.
edit: wait why does this have nearly 500 likes
Me too, it’s very clever. It’s not something I’ve never seen before, but I always enjoy it, so I don’t mind.
It's not used for that though if you actually listen to what he's saying. The barking just cuts up the sentence.
"Listen kid, I need your help. You gotta get me outta here or else I'm" BARKBARKBARKBARK "finished for good"
"Yeah, isn't that cute, I could" BARKBARKBARKBARK "wade my feet in your makeup"
There aren't really any swears or anything else worth censoring that fit organically in the middle of these sentences. Personally I think they should have done what you're saying, missed opportunity, but they didn't
Take you all day to figure that out?
@@Finn-po4kt oh well, it still funny to think like it is.
Ha ha euthanasia. "Youth in Asia"
Family guy used that joke at some point during the series. I can't tell you when off the top of my head though.
Dustin Gleason y-yea we get the joke
oh boy they got enough kids over there as it is
Shut the fuck up
*_SHUT THE FUCK UP DAMMIT_*
FOX should’ve made a special episode of this but with Brian & Peter.
That would be a dream, but with the same music from the pilot.
Whenever people hear Steve's barks, I always imagined that it's Steve cursing. Dunno why, but I feel that's what it is.
Probably cos it’s similar to SpongeBob and Patrick’s curses being covered by a dolphin laugh on the episode ‘Sailor Mouth’.
@@donaghobrien9580 I think the dolphin laugh WAS the curse
@@BerriBoi150 Someone made and edited version where they actually curse/cuss so it could be censorship. There’s a rumour that there’s a tape where the voice actors actually cursed but no one knows if it’s real.
@@donaghobrien9580 I read an interview with Tom Kenny that it is real. They actually swore for the recording. Obviously those recordings will never be heard.
The voice of Cindy and announcer at the pound would later become the voice of Diane Simmons in Family Guy.
She's also Pearl the Whale in SpongeBob Squarepants.
Lori Alan
I knew it! I knew her voiced sounded familiar!
And also The Boss in Metal Gear Solid
Oh my god, I can't believe I went all these years without ever making the connection that she is also Pearl from SpongeBob.
@@lukeseelman503 Wait that's the same fuckin' person?
i didnt even realize but Cindy sounds like the person who voices pearl in spongebob
@ImThechosenManit is, is it?
I remember seeing this on television, but I had no idea it was a Family Guy pilot. It's so innocent, compared to the current thing.
mabey this was steths oringal idea but then said forget it and went to fox and did family guy for adults
@@awesomeninja9178 This cartoon was just an animation that Seth worked on for "What a cartoon" in 1995 for cartoon network. Fox reached out to him and asked if he would try to do a full-time show so he created family guy.
@@awesomeninja9178 this wasnt the original idea thats like calling the first computer the original idea. they can build off of it
@@awesomeninja9178 fox was pushing for family shows after the success of the Simpsons. They even tried to influence South Park into a show that revolved around 1 family.
It wasn't a Family Guy pilot, whoever uploaded this is a doofus. This is basically something Seth did a few years before Family Guy, which this has some clear parallels to and which Seth has said some of the early Family Guy concepts took from. This isn't a "pilot" for that show, though.
This reminds me of the kind of humor used in phineas and ferb!
This is like an old loony toon short
This is unironically funnier than a family guy episode. I legitimately laughed on several occasions while watching this.
That euthanasia joke killed me, I wish this actually ended up being a show
Same
I love how the high setting on the massage bed just beats the shit out of you haha XD
Welp if it beats the shit outta me I'll take it

@@shatteredsentient5321 I swear to God if it doesn't put me to sleep I will get a refund
This is way funnier than Family Guy! And... Steve, (AKA Brian) is actually really likable. Question is... What happened, Seth? O_O
he got better humor.
Giordan Diodato Meh. I still like this better. :/
Ultra no it's drab
Ultra Hmm.. True, true. Good point. And yeah, I agree on the animation thing. :D
2CuteMadHatter guess you don't know good animation when you see it.
What's funny is that there was actually this one scene in Family Guy where Brain was talking to Peter about emergency. Peter couldn't understand Brain's human talk and so Brain started barking like a dog and for some reason, Peter understood every "word" he said. This cartoon reminds me of that one particular Family Guy scene.
family guy actually refrence this pilot alot and the orginal pilot of 1998 before the real series started in 1999
loved this series when it showed un on What A Cartoon on CN years ago which was a platform for experimental shows. Too bad this show (and Mina and the count) ended up just pilots/oneshots.
Cartoon network’s “What A Cartoon” and Nickelodeon’s “Oh Yeah! Cartoons” were two of the best animated shows on the air at the time. God I miss the 90’s
Cartoon Network had nothing to do with "What A Cartoon" other than broadcasting it. The show belonged to Hanna-Barbera Studios.
@@dave-sempai I’m pretty sure broadcasting something means you have something to do with it. He never claimed Cartoon Network made what a cartoon.
I love how simple old cartoons were. The music and everything.
Old?????? 🤣😂😅😂🤣😂😅😂
@@YortOK Nigga clearly it is old as fuck
@@YortOK 90s is from decades ago that’s old news fucking bozo
@@mumblerapjunkie Disney goes back to the 30's , looney tunes and hanna Barbera go back to the 50's and 60's. THEY'RE OLD. Some half assed cartoon from the late 90's is NOT.
@@YortOK both can be true. This short is from 1995, so around 28 years ago. That’s older than almost 50% of all people alive today.
I like how they turned a shop's name into a talking baby. Kinda pays homage to this pilot especially since only the dog can understand him.
Omg... That's right!
brian griffin if he was a good character (i am a professional brian griffin hater)
He is a good character these days.
@@Courage-In-All sir if you have an issue with our service, I recommend talking to my boss about your issue, aka "briansucks69402"

@flourrrr So how can you hate when he willingly jumped in front of the Peterminator to save Stewie?
@@Courage-In-All so how can you hate deez nuts
@@flourrrr ignore my question then. Lol
not actually the Family Guy pilot this is actually a failed pitch Seth did for a kid's show but it definitely influenced his later work
MrSnoopaloop503 I think it's because Seth does Steve's voice in his normal voice among other similarities of Family Guy that made people think it's a Family Guy "pilot"
@AndrewsMagicandMore
No, it's to draw the newer generation familiar with Family Guy into this to show the similarities.
That's A Shame
Would’ve watched this all the time as a kid. That’s a shame.
5:22 “I got my foot caught in a radiator” 😂😂😂😂
Anyone notice shaggy from Scooby-Doo at 0:36 ?!
I DID! :D
He arrived to get Scrappy Doo XD
that dose not look like shaggy
+Gamerlord595 it does actually but not exactly because of the animation
i saw that too xD
How is she still happy about this after her building just broke by (Larry) 6:30
holy crap its even the same voice actors. Why didn't this become the show for a kids network instead of FG?
acfreak55 Seth MacFarlane does pretty much majority of the voices.....
Seth Mc Farlane (creator) does peter, brian, quagmire, and stewie.
Because it's garbage just like Family Guy.
Destiny Perry-Church Under that verification, would you argue that Teen Titans Go is good because it's a good show?
Destiny Perry-Church Whoops. *because it's still on the air?
It's a shame this didn't pick up. I love the 90s cartoon style that shows back then had and it is so much better than the flat & boring digital animation we have today with so much motion interpolation and even fewer animation steps.
FACTS! Things looked so much better on cels and were better written!
Seriously? This has charm, but the animation of today is so much more complex and sophisticated
@asmodeusguys4472 it really isn't, they use techniques that might look sophisticated, but in reality it's only to cut corners using a piece of software everyone in the industry uses as standard now...
@@asmodeusguys4472 the hell are you on about?
@@geforcegtx10606gb fuck u mean what I'm on about? U know what I'm talking about.
Jeez... this was actually funny. Like ACTUALLY funny.
I think Family Guy would've been more original if Seth followed the idiot man and the talking sane dog idea as the structure of Family Guy rather than make a half copy of The Simpsons and half of this idea. I mean, the early seasons of Family Guy were genius, but it also felt like a Simpsons wannabe and this cartoon could have made it even more unique. Rick and Morty for example, is an adult cartoon and also has family, but it's entirely based on the mad scientist and his insecure moral grandson and doesn't feel like a Back to the Future copy. That is why I prefer American Dad because the dad is a professional spy and not a cheap version of Homer.
True.
How is it a half copy of a full rip-off
@@Courage-In-All Bro, lmao 💀
True
@morningcat7734 It's true, the Simpsons is just an 80s rip-off of the Flnstones and the Jersons. Lmao.
6:15 Never send a kid to do a pilot's job.
This isn't the pilot for Family guy. This is a whole different show created by Seth MacFarlane a few years before Family Guy. Peter and Brian are based on this two, but the 2 shows have nothing to do with each other
MARTIN it has nothing to do. but its inspired the existence of family guy.. without this short.. family guy wouldnt exist or atleast became a whole different show
This is a pilot episode of Family Guy
@@wavethewolf8576 It is not a pilot, it just inspired the show
@@frybanshee it was a pilot
