A Masterpiece!

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Ella-May O'Brien
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

"Seth & Alex's Almost Live Comedy Show" is a half-hour (well actually a bit over 20 minutes) television comedy special starring some of the big names from the successful television show Family Guy. And as long-running as that may be, this one here never got continued in almost a decade it has been since its release. There is a stage, audience, comedy numbers, some pre-recorded videos, obviously really many Family Guy references etc. But none of it is funny, especially not the extremely random Lady Gaga parody and I am far from a fan of her who could actually be offended. Pretty shocking to see that despite seeing stuff like this, they still chose MacFarlane to host the Oscars at some point. I do like Family guy, but I just cannot like the show's creator at all. He seems too full of himself most of the time and also a bit on the fake side. His female co-lead here isn't any funnier. All in all, this gets a thumbs-down from me and I do not recommend checking it out. Can't say I'm angry at all this was so short(-lived).

I seriously think Seth Macfarlane is a genius. I thought this little special was awesome and I wish it was a weekly thing, but then I am sure it would get old. The whole bit with Marlee Matlin was fabulous! I thought it was great how cool she was with the whole deal.People keep complaining about The Cleveland Show, Family Guy and American Dad and saying they are losing their quality. Funny how they are Fox's highest rated shows. ABC CBS and NBC have abandoned Sundays. I think the Macfarlane empire is one that will continue to grow for some time yet. I wish we had have seen some of the other characters. Quagmire, Cleveland and Joe were totally absent. Meg and Chris as well. Hopefully they get the chance to do a full cast show in the future.

Family Guy Presents: Seth & Alex's Almost Live Comedy Show was well as good as it gets. Is it offensive. Yes. Funny? YES!!! you bet!!! of course it's offensive that's what Seth Macfarlane is all about, Good old racism and it was great to see it in live action and they didn't spare any punches. Alex was fantastic specially in her part as the hurt Jew just completely hilarious. the dialogue between Seth and Alex kept me laughing the whole way through and the whole show was just non-stop laughter for me. I don't know if Americans will appreciate it as much as we in Europe do and seriously if you get easily offended don't watch anything Seth Macfarlane is a part of.

I'm a huge fan of Family Guy, and I enjoy the edgy humor and parodies. It doesn't feel so funny when a live action program tries to do the same thing. Chuckling about the Holocaust and imitating how deaf people sound when they talk isn't funny and kinda makes my skin crawl. Amazingly unfunny for someone as funny as Seth McFarlane. It's like he was trying to rack up as many insulted groups as he could in 30 minutes. What was he thinking when he put together this show? If his point was to make it a 30 minute uncomfortable Family Guy style skit, he pulled it off. Another feather in the cap of Fox, was the network so desperate for a program in this time slot that it needed to put this slapped together train wreck on air?
