His voice is probably one of the most recognizable voices when I hear him talk I feel is like Brian talking he is great
Literally was looking for this comment. He talks exactly like Brian just with different mannerisms and more life
@@thathondaguy9670 yeah I heard that he based Brian on himself that’s why they share A lot of the same opinions
@@mrbubzcrack6698 so he offed himself.
Good to know.
@@pokedude720 what?
@@mrbubzcrack6698 yeah, Brian was killed off for a few epiodrs
"Did Seth MacFarlane make The Simpsons- I FUCKIN' WISH!"
- Seth MacFarlane, 2022
Most real answer ever given.
Everyone that is into animation felt that 😂
Lol that made me laugh 🤣🤣🤣
My man is really honest about it lol
I wasn’t ready 🤣🤣🤣
i love how he considers “what does seth macfarlane look like” a really stupid and otherworldy question but answers “seth macfarlane shoe size” without hesitation
I mean you can just google his name and see his pictures that was a stupid question
@@AS.Se7en well that was probably what they were searching for since it’s literally a google search result interview
@@pendantairplane that's what i thought too
Everyone can check out what he looks like easily, but its not that easy measuring his feet.......
@@pendantairplane well in that case just type in Seth Macfarlane , no need for the redundant sentence if youll just want pictures
I love Seth Macfarlane, the way dude just switched between 5 character voices in less than 10 seconds is amazing.
Honestly though I can't even get through the list of characters he does for family guy on Imdb because it's really really long but that just shows his range and talent and I will respect him for that
Robin Williams style..
yeah love him or hate him, his VA skills are crazy.
@@beatsbyanxTrue
I'm actually impressed he swapped between all those voices so quickly and flawlessly
I burst out laughing when he did Rogers voice
Well, it's literally one of his occupation.
I wouldn't doubt that he does a lot of it without cuts.
That's 🤲🏻
@@zlcoolboy He has said in various interviews and commentaries that he does often switch between them without stopping. Depends on the scenes and amount of dialogue mostly.
I respect and admire a dude who doesn’t take themselves too seriously. He just has that natural witty humor hardwired in him, a genuinely funny dude.
Shut up
Hi again
Have you thought about growing a Moustache?
Thanks, we admire you too!!!
@@harulddenvise He couldn't afford it. All the tonics you have to buy.
I giggled like a schoolgirl several times watching this. I swear, Seth is a dreamboat not just because of his looks and talents, but because of his natural charisma and the way he gives off such a genuine vibe. What a man
😊
Also being a millionaire doesn't hurt?
@@Oddballkane plenty of millionaires definitely dont have what seth has
Lord only knows I did too...
Ha!
@@Oddballkane I'd be attracted to Seth if he made less money than me, which would be minimum wage.
"What college did Seth MacFarlane go to?"
"ATTEND... you also could have said"
- Seth MacFarlane, 2022
That's totally something Brian would say.
😂
@@VHSRKIVESlmao apparently Brian is an exaggerator character of Seth personality
Multi-talented, good-looking, AND he can sing beautifully. This man is the total package.
@@justheretocommentokdontwan685 Haha! Yes. I get the cockiness. I felt a little bad when he said "I'll bark like a seal for you." What did you think we wanted to hear, Mr. MacFarlane? Those characters made you a LOT of money. Well-deserved, of course.
Nope
We often hear of a triple threat: singing, dancing, and acting. I haven't seen him dance, but we don't often add visual art and writing, which are just as impressive talents. That's at least a quadruple threat.
Please knock it off, Mrs. MacFarlane. And stop calling yourself a Korean Jesus.
@@mikejewpants4099 It's a movie reference.
“Did Seth McFarlane make The Simpsons?”
“I FUCKIN’ WISH!!!”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He would have barely been 16 if he made it 😂😂
They blipped the S word but not the F word??
@@j7esquivel I think CZcams has a thing where if there is an uncensored curse word in the first 60 seconds of a video it runs the risk of being demonetized. Weird as heck, but hey whatever.
Seth MacFarlane should definitely do a Broadway show. All the songs in Family Guy feel like they came out of Broadway, imagine what he could do on stage.
I have always thought the same thing!!!
That’s what I was thinking
American Dad needs to be on broadway
He loves show tunes.
Ted 2's opening credit was a musical sequence (i believe it was heavily inspired by Frank Sinatra) and it was the closest we could've got to see Seth making a Broadway show
“Attend, you also could have said” yeah you can tell Brian is based on Seth.
We don’t thank this man enough. Molded everyone’s sense of humor with American dad & Family Guy.
Changed a generation. Simpsons did their thing but family guy leveled up cartoon tv humor and it's impact on Pop culture
We have people like this to blame for the collapse of families in modern day america
@@nanashi2146 yeah it’s definitely not the governments fault whatsoever
@@TheCopyNinja733 Sure it's partly the government, but they're being influenced by the same dominant worldview which is driving families apart
Well….he didn’t do anything Matt Groening, Trey and Matt, and Mike Judge didn’t do but hey…the man has his place in adult animation!
Seth is such a great dude and brilliant writer, I just miss the darker Family Guy jokes when he was writing for it
Until Disney f***** that up
@@nightowl4641 pretty sure that already happened before disney own fox
That happened when he left the show as a writer 2011. and yo can literaly see it after 10th season
@@vsantamato75 He stopped writing in 2007. But he stopped being the showrunner in 2011. And in 2013 he openly stated that he wished the show had stopped after season 6.
@@vetarlittorf1807 Didnt know that, thanks for the information
Brian doesn’t sound like Seth, Seth sounds like Brian if he just woke up
i am sure that Brian voiced this Seth-guy
He's even cooler than I already thought. Seems like a dude you could drink with at a bar and not even realize it's him until he starts doing his drunk Peter voice to ask for another beer
Only he looks like a plastic toy
@@oosthakker cause he is.
remember nice comments do nothing for him tho
@@oosthakker - Heh... we're allowed to roast him all we want, seeing as he's roasted more people over the last 25 years than pretty much anyone on the planet.
Not realise it’s him? His normal voice is literally Brian
This dude is a talented artist. Host, voice actor, actor, director, comedian, animator, singer and does it all quite well.
Why is he so obsessed with the Simpson's?
whos a better wile e coyote since mel blanc and joe alaskey died? or a better bugs bunnny? jp karliak or seth macfarlane? billy west? seth macfarlane or jeff bergman or eric bauza?
@@robbyharrison101 ha
hatdog
@@robbyharrison101 Billy West hands down.
@@iwritesongs5987 you picked billy west over Seth macfarlane? That’s a surprise
this guy literally involved with all my favourite cartoons.....what a fascinating journey
I'm surprised there was no search of him almost being a passenger on flight 11 on 9/11
He was totally asked to play Lancelot in Spamalot and when they couldn't get him they got Hank Azaria instead. Honestly both are wonderful castings.
Personally, I do think Seth is a genius. He is insanely talented and I wish he would get more recognition than he does.
How much more??
$300 million net worth...he's plenty recognized lol
Amen, Brothjer.
@@bradthompson5383 Kinda promotes it even. Yeah, even though I'm a big fan, that annoys me too.
Woodbury
I wish Seth would get more recognition. He is a genius. Also wish American Dad was more appreciated because Roger is possibly the greatest animated character ever.
You know Roger is half Paul Lind
I'm Braff Zacklin!
Every time I say this I get a lot of heat, but I'm going to say it again: American Dad is a far funnier and more polished show than Family Guy.
@@justayoutuber1906 Quite a bit more than half, I'd say. But Paul Lynde was a legend, no hate.
@@hostrauer no, no! You are so right about that. 'Family Guy' lost its magic a long time ago. A very long time ago. Even Seth said so himself he wishes that the show would end. And I don't blame him. 'American Dad', however, is cool to the core.
This man has accomplished so much that even he can’t fully remember every epic thing he’s done
I absolutely love Seth McFarlane and think he deserves a lot more credit for what he's done for American humor.
He is such an enigma, he somehow overtly talented yet seemingly underrated at same time
Thank you! Oh wait you were talking about Seth.
I know Family Guy is more popular, but I absolutely love American Dad. Seth is extremely talented & super funny. 👏
Why are you loving a show that has violence in it?! I think someone loving a show with violence in it is just awful! So if you love a show or shows that have violence in them that makes you a jerk! So you are a jerk! Amanda I do not like you! 😠😠😡😡
Roger is effing hilarious,some of the funniest lines ever
I think he is funny, but he also has a team of writers now that really help flesh out the jokes.
I like American Dad better than Family Guy as well but same with Family Guy he’s not invoved with writing the show anymore. Just voice acting.
I liked Family Guy more until around 2007-2008ish, then started liking American Dad more. Nothing beats Family Guy seasons 1-6 though.
It’s so cool that Seth started out working on the shows I grew up watching and now he works on the ones I watch as an adult!
It’s amazing how seamlessly he switches between the voices!
this guy is a real renaissance type man: between his ability to act, write, creative intuition, be seemingly empathetic and sing, he really has talent coming out of the wazoo
And he chose to make Family guy, what a waste
@@JorgeMiguel147 Family Guy is one of the funniest shows ever made what are you saying
@@JorgeMiguel147 It's a masterpiece (along with American dad) so killing 2 birds with 1 stone. Not that you would understand it or anything.
@@ar71498 LMAO u cant be serious
@@duncan3998 family guy is the must unfunny show ever. Even the creators of South Park and the Simpsons hate it
The clarification of Ted being a "movie" and not a "film" got a laugh outta me. Looking forward to the new season of Orville.
Not the same without norm as yaphit
my condolences. hope your house falls down.
What’s the difference if you don’t mind saying?
“I do voiceover, that’s about it”
- literally does almost every character 😭
Thank you for making American Guy and Family Dad. Two of my favourite shows.
"I'm alright" Seths the man lmao
It's always funny finding channels you watch and realize they watch CZcams as well lol

My go-to is, "I'm not too bad".

@@steelcitysteve8794 hahahahaha he only had to watch like 2 seconds, he could've quoted anything the money hungry succubus.
The fact that he didn't answer the Tuscon question, but instead just laughed and corrected the questioner, is endlessly hilarious to me every single time I watch it back.
🤣😭
Ahem, Tuscon is actually spelt Tucson. And, It's not so bad in the winter.

The Orville is hands down the best scifi series I've ever seen, bar none. As a fiction writer, each episode told a captivating and unique story, and the scope of human, alien, and 'non-biological' emotions (or lack thereof) conveyed by each character in the fascinating plotlines leave me in awe. That one artist, Mr. McFarlane, with the help of so many talented actors and production crew, conceived of The Orville and guided it to be a hallmark of storytelling that it is leaves me humbled with admiration.
Thank You, Captain Mercer!
He is a genius, even his less famous shows (which still are famous) are really good. I love The Orville
Same
Me too! Wish the show was more popular.
Honestly, he'd be a perfect fit for Broadway.
He knows his craft so well.
I’d love to see him write a musical like BOM and he could definitely star in it too
I think I can speak for everyone when I say I'm so glad American Dad is still around.
Yep because family guy lost its humour about 12 seasons ago.
I caught some of the newer episodes last week (I haven't really watched since it hopped over to TBS) and am amazed that it's actually managed to stay hilarious after all this time.
@@bradthompson5383 do elaborate?
@@bradthompson5383 even though you deleted your comment I can still see it when I click on notifications. You know that shows not real right?
I like both shows. Despite any decline I find both funny and entertaining.
7:43 I was really hoping he would be like "bare foot you say?" 😂
He’s a genius because he makes everything he does look easy and completely intuitive
It's just occurred to me that Elon Musk looks like if you left Seth MacFarlane in a jar of vinegar to pickle.
that’s exactly what he looks like lol
had same thoughts my guy lol
So a futurama head in a jar lol
That's the funniest thing I've heard in a while and now I can never unsee that again when I see Elon.
They both have that "just tried botox and got a little carried away" look.
Unfortunately, no questions about his involvement in the Cosmos series and his genuine interest in astronomy. This man has a lot of talents.
Best series ever, unfortunately can't find it anywhere anymore 😢
Astronomy?
I think he would have genuinely enjoyed a question on that too. Guy loves space and the Carl Segan
@@danuk2136 What about it?
interview with brian is so fun to watch
He is my tv hero!!! I binge watch all his stuff. Have complete dvd seasons of all his cartoons. I cannot go a day without getting my Seth fix lol. I will never get tired of rewatching his shows!!
A highly talented man!
He has one of the best singing voices of this generation. Him saying his favorite movie is “The Sound of Music” makes sense, since he did a cover of “Something Good” on his debut album.
Idiot
“Best singing voices of his generation”…come on that’s just a ridiculous exaggeration.
Lol I said “one of the best of this generation”, not “the best”. Can you tell me who is the best? Because I can’t. It’s all subjective, but his vibrato is out of this world. Outside of operatic singers, he’s on par with any broadway singer out there.
His vocal coaches were the same that trained Sinatra. Yes for a man he's got a great voice.
@@Sirjohnfootballre-read “one of the best”
Funny how when Seth talks in his normal voice, he sounds like Brian Griffin.
Haha yeah that always gets me. I don't know which came first but it's not his original voice ..as an adult
Brian originally was basically meant to be a stand in character for seth but it seems like as he gave up more control of family guy brians character stopped being that
He sounds a tiny bit different
You're only noticing this now?
@@rdiclst6908 sounds exactly the same
I love you Seth, you're an inspiration!!! Thanks Wired for finally making Seth famous. The throat clear was hilarious, even though accidental.
Seeing him seamlessly switch between all the voices he does is absolutely awesome
He’s not wrong. Johnny Bravo season 1 was great. The show felt completely different the second season.
Makes sense
It was also where he met Adam West and became friends with him.
Wanna see me comb my hair really fast? 😏
@Tyler B. Looks like my Johnny Bravo quote went completely over you're head 🤦♀️
Johnny Bravo sucked after season 1
This (Family) guy is a national treasure. The way he seamlessly voiced Peter, Stewie, Brian, Glen, Stan and Roger in one take.
It's wild he survived September 11th by missing a flight.
Edit: WOW, I didn't expect the like button to be clicked so much! Thank you!
I like how straightforward he is too.
I normally don't meet people like him. But it's awesome, whenever I do.
It was normal for him to miss flights because he kept missing them but thank god
american dad is superior to Family guy
Saved by a hangover.
@@acrab4516 In no universe is that true
I feel like I know Seth pretty well without ever having met him. I feel like he didn’t lie with these Q&A’s but he didn’t tell the full truth either. Definitely held back a LOT
I enjoy Seth. Very talented and has entertained millions of us for years.
Keep it up Seth.
One of the most talented men in show business and critically under appreciated. Thank you for The Orville Seth!
He could have been gone on 9/11 had he not being lazy and woke up late for the flight ... or something like that.
Critically underappreciated? He made one of the most popular TV shows of all time
Agreed!
Yeah love the Orville
Don't fall for this they just changing account just to say davis is great
I love his shows, especially American Dad. Now I'm going to watch Orville.
You never seen the Orville 😦
I had never seen the show either until a few weeks ago and then I just binged season 1 and season 2. Surprisingly good time as season 3 comes out June 2nd. It’s a fun show.
Check out Egotastic Fun Time. It's the unofficial official Orville YT community.
@@iceviking8280 is norm in season 3
The Orville is soooooooo good!!
Thank you for not sensoring this! More of that please. And this man is a treasure.
Seth seems like a genuine good dude. I wonder if adding 'have a beer with Seth MacFarlane' on my bucket list would be out of reach.
He would probably do it tbh
2:12 That was awesome. Dude jumped between the characters like nothing
I like how Seth throws shade at his own shows like “I fuckin hate these shows why aren’t they dead yet?”
Yeah, his shoes are pretty raggedy.
Seeing how the quality of 'Family Guy' has declined, I can't blame him at all
Remember Family Guy was canceled and brought back
He openly admitted years ago that he thinks Family Guy should have ended, and he only keeps it going because the money's good.
@@lanceturley7745 he said the merchandise alone especially hot topic was enough to retire and much more
Seth seems like a awesome guy to hang out with.
I freaking love this guy. Thank you so much for the laughs. Our whole family gets together to watch and laugh. Great times.
"It's not Tucson I hate, it's- it's all of Arizona." - As an Arizonan, I agree.
As a Phoenician, I'm offended.
As an Iowan, I agree as well.
why?
Yeah, love the guy but WTF is wrong with AZ..?
@@xavvi like yes but also definitely no lmao. If you know you, and few people know, very few, unless you're a historian, but even then.
Seth is such a creative guy and I LOVE what he's done with The Orville that it was originally a joke/sci-fi satire but evolved into a legit serious Sci-fi show that tackles alot of issues in different ways
I grew up on star trek and I love the orville. You can feel the love of sci-fi throughout the whole series, even though its satire. One of his better works imo
All of the silly jokes were there because Fox insisted on it. As always they meddled. Because they’re idiots.
Do you mean a sci-fi dramedy? Because it's still very much that
Ya but Norm Macdonald was part of that show so I'm gonna miss that character
Thank you for the love ❤️
Seth mcfarlane just seems like a great guy
2:30 It's the best Star Trek show currently in production.... yes.
Just such a naturally funny guy. That quip about Hulu and he hopes to get the version without commercials… on his toes
Why do you put so much emphasis on the "H"? It's pronounced "Whip".
@@10Adarsh ????
🤣I get it
@@LinkinParkLover2012 Thank you, Michelle! 🙏
I love googling Bailey Jay or Annabelle Lane and emptying the glue gun, do it once a week my way of treating myself
2:55 I legitimately didn't know there was a Ted sequel, and yet I knew he was working on the series for Peacock lol
This is the best interview, or at least, my favorite, interview on wired. This affirms my feeling that Seth MacFarlane and I would be friends in real life if we ever ran in the same circles. We have very similar personalities.
When Wired censors the word "sh*t" but not all the other mediocre f-bombs dropped by Seth is probably the most Seth MacFarlane thing they could have done. 😂
It's a CZcams thing. Swearing early in a video's runtime is more likely to cause demonetization problems than swearing later on. That same clip wasn't bleeped at the end.
What is a mediocre f-bomb
@@cole6122 It's when you decide to go forward with an f-bomb, you've committed to it, you're prepared for the fallout, only to change your mind in the middle of saying it.
adding the "mediocre" was just my sarcasm kicking in
The Orville is amazing, and I’m so glad we have it. He’s seems so down to earth too, like someone you could go out and grab beers with.
Agree!!!! Agree!!!! Agree!!!!
What is the Orville?
@@Lee935 it’s a Star Trek style series that Seth created/stars in. Even if you’re not a huge Star Trek fan it’s so worth a watch!
The Orville is possibly my favorite "Star Trek series" ever. Deep Space 9 and TNG are amazing, but their first 3 seasons compared to the Orville's first 3... man I really hope we get to see where the Orville goes.
@@Lee935 it's essentially a star trek parody. But just because it's a parody doesn't mean it isn't good because believe me, it is
What a gem this guy. Cracks me up. Keep thriving my man
His new song with Logic is 🔥. He sound just like Sinatra. Am in love with that song!!
Seth is one of the most talented humans in the world! Watching him do all of his characters back to back just shows you!
He's one of kind man!!!!!
Its insane haha
What could the TED 3 plot be?
I would love to see this guy go on Hot Ones, he seems like such an interesting guy and I know Sean would come up with some great questions!
Seth… You ARE a genius mate. Thanks for all that you have contributed to this world.
3:54
Didn't know that Seth MacFarlane had problems with Arizona.
It's so weird he's such a normal dude. It's hard to believe he's so talented as an actor, voice actor, director, show runner. The list goes on
Fantastic singer as well!
I couldn't stop laughing when he read "what does Seth MacFarlane look like?" And asked if the person was a f*cking idiot.
Might be a blind person..

Q: Did Seth Mcfarlane make the simpsons?
Seth: I *FUCKIN’* wish!
That made me laugh really hard.

We all do, Seth. We all do.
"The sound of motherfucking music 😂😂😂
The way he just switches between all the voices he does, and they are all executed perfectly.
Omg his face his personality I love him! Honestly won’t lie have such a huge crush on him ..been told it’s weird but like how could u not
He is a genius. And a humble genius. He doesn't want any of the accolades. Doesn't need to be boastful and constantly praised. Even though he deserves it. Needless to say I'm a big fan. Also, would love for him to do another movie
He is a polymath. He could elevate anything he chose, except maybe pro ball in the nba or something silly.
The fact this man made two of the most popular adult animation shows is unforgettable!! Truly an inspiration ❤️
South park cucks it
Pretty nice of Brian to come in this human body for this interview
Comedy Genius. Period.
I'm glad we have Seth in this world.
Seth- " What college did Seth McFarlane go to? "Attend" you also could have said."
Me- Your Brian is showing...Don't be a Brian. 🤣
I have such a love for this guy, it was the most anticipated wired autocomplete interview. Truly he's a genius. 😍
He truly is. I can't wait for another 20 years to see him age like Liza Minelli.
If I remember correctly he only wrote the pilot episode
That I fuckin wish was just a testament to how much he looks up to the pioneers of animation before him! I love this!!
This is probably the best one of these.
Both American Dad and Family Guy have played a huge role in my life. I had abusive parents, and my escape was watching TV. Those two shows really held a place for me during that time, along with Futurama. I've also enjoyed watching the seasons we have of Orville. I might just be a Seth fanboy at this point, but it isn't unwarranted. The man really is incredibly brilliant and creative. I still watch either Family Guy, or American Dad, every day. It's background noise when nothing else is on and taking my attention. I have the Hulu without ads ;)
I feel the same way those shows are a ridiculous little escape for me and I wish only the best for the writers and Seth
Those shows bring me so much comfort.
@@wat4036 when Adult Swim would come on, that was my only time alone. Family guy was always on at 11p.
Something I've really enjoyed was liking it for the silly scenes and wacky activities that go on when I was younger, and as I've grown and watched more media I catch the references more and more. As I've watched more of the older movies and TV shows, I'm always like, "Wait a sec, that was in Family Guy. NOW I KNOW!" I'm 27, so I've been around for Family Guy since like '06. I remember the premier of American Dad.
Yep, American Dad on in the background pretty much every day👌🏽
Out of all things Seth did in his career, I'm most thankful that he produced Cosmos, it's an incredible continuation of Carl Sagan's show.
NERD
"I'll bark like a seal for you"
Throwback to when he was on the Graham Norton show and he actually said it in the character of Stewie lol
Seth is pure Connecticut. Made me laugh… we only respond to negative comments. Fantastic creator. Just brilliant fellow nutmegger.
3:35 “attend” got me for some reason. I enjoy a good throw-away jab :)
This guy is magic fr 😂
The orville is a fantastic show! May it live forever!
Can you imagine if Seth didn't get drunk and got on his flight on 9/11? We would have missed out on all of his excellence. Seth is one of the most talented people in the industry.
I'm surprised that wasn't on there.
We are all blessed that a less talented person took his seat instead.
The way he switched through the voices is pure talent
