Seth Macfarlane is the creator of such hit shows as Family Guy, American Dad and the upcoming Family Guy spin-off  The Cleveland Show. Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy is a new uncensored video which I can best describe as Family Guy meets WarioWare meets HBO. If you’ve ever watched Family Guy you’re certainly familiar with the constant cut-away sketches and flashbacks. This video is basically a collection of these style of shorts presented in a rapid-fire fashion. Only the material and language is way more explicit. Expect plenty of swearing, poop, racism, religion and sex jokes.

Fans of Macfarlane and politically incorrect humor will no doubt love this video. There are a lot of pop-culture references and celebrity parodies.


Some of the funnier sketches include:

- Mario rescues Princess Peach; an uncomfortable conversation ensues.
- Dirty talking sheep gets sheared by farmer.
- A collection of “Thing’s You Never Hear” shorts.
- Wile E. Coyote finally gets the roadrunner… now what?
- Rock climber needs to use a washroom.
- The Gay Knight

There are a few sketches that run a little long with no real laugh payoffs, similar to a bad SNL skit. Some examples of this are a short in which Fred Flintstone uses a public washroom; and a Scottish man who can’t watch a movie without shouting at the screen.

And while most of the content is very funny, the video itself runs a bit on the short side at only 53 minutes. The bare-bones DVD extras consist primarily of footage from a Cavalcade launch party in which guests are asked what “cavalcade” means, and most of them haven’t a clue.

Priced at around $15, some may be disappointed by the short running time and lackluster extras. If you’re not a diehard Seth Macfarlane fan or you’re unsure if this “raunchy” material is for you; I would recommend renting this video before purchasing.
