We know Seth MacFarlane mostly from his work on Family Guy and American Dad, but he’s back with a real life sitcom.

We’re not sure whether or not this is a piss-take or if Seth MacFarlane actually plans to make more than a trailer for this series, but either way, this is so bad that we can’t look away.
Seth Green (who must be MacFarlane’s best mate by now) and Giovanni Ribisi both star in this show which seems to centre around two guys whose dads live with them, and from there the comedy is supposed to ensue. It does not, by the looks of it.
The lads work for a video games company, in an office that they seemed to have bought from stockquirkyofficesupplies.com, and they’re the classic odd couple, one of them wears a suit, and the other one doesn’t!
The laughter track is incredibly annoying already, and this is only the bloody trailer. We’re also fairly sure that it’s racist in parts, mainly the parts where they make a couple of terribly unfunny jokes about Asian people. Lay off the Asians, Lou.In saying that this could very well be some form of satire in itself; we all know how good McFarlane is so something this crap doesn’t make a whole heap of sense…
We’re surprised that Giovanni Ribisi, who normally does some pretty good stuff, is in this, and you might recognise Martin Mull, who was Vice-Principal Willard Kraft in Sabrina the Teenage Witch back in the day. He plays a hapless old person, who will ruin the fun for the young guys, but at some stage teach them a valuable lesson about life. Or something.
