manatees.jpgIt’s not enough to have the used-to-be good “Family Guy” and the still-sucks-my-ass “American Dad” on TV. No sir, not for creator Seth MacFarlane. So he’s taking himself online with “Seth MacFarlane’s Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy,” a series of 50 animated shorts which will be published by Google and pushed out to YouTube and other websites, starting this Wednesday, plus it’ll show up in the ad spaces of some relevant pages (like Maxim and Fandango).

And what will this cartoon be, you ask? Same crap, different format:

In the Google series, “Seth MacFarlane’s Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy,” fans of his TV shows will see some familiar themes, including celebrity takedowns and surreal scenarios. In one “Cavalcade” sketch the actor Matthew McConaughey (voiced by another actor, Seth Green) is adrift in a life raft, nattering on about his easy success and “metal-like abdominal muscles” as a fellow castaway devours him limb by limb.

Thanks, but no thanks.

I was hoping this would finally be the announcement of a killer manatee film.

Some day.

Now, McConaughey actually adrift in a life raft being devoured would be kinda awesome. If he was being eaten by Werewolf-Oz-Seth Green that is.

"I'm the manatee!"

"Whatever, sea cow."

"Sea cow needs to get his ass a job."

American Dad may not be a good show, but it has its moments, search for: Were Red and We're Gay!

Sorry, was this about McConaughey being devoured messily by manatees? No? Dammit. Pass!

As long as we're on the Gaffigan Train:

"Steakum, that's a great name for a product.

Is it steak?

Steak? Um..."

I will watch a bad episode of Family Guy, but I ain't watching American Dad. I saw it once and it tried to kill my soul. McFarlane and I are done.

And he still owes me money.
