want to mention some episodes yeah we've got a great season coming up mark mentioned our premiere we also have some of the fun episodes including an episode where quagmire accidentally buries a hooker we also have an episode where the Griffins buy a farm and Peter ends up becoming a meth dealer and we have a road fun episode coming this fall where the group has become a Nielsen family and Peter sort of steals a lot of meals and boxes and turns television into what he'd like it to be and basically it's of destroyed television single a new we also have our 200th episode coming up this season and in the clips in which Stewie and Brian accidentally reverse the direction of time and we see some of our iconic moments from the series uh in Reverse so our people line up for questions all right let's uh let's get him underway my question is for Seth MacFarlane he's gay I've never I've never seen anyone more relaxed on stage than you Marc Thank You those people in this room yes now are you a manatee a manatee but on manatee no night I'm in my late 20s I put on a few pounds but him I took it off feeling feeling pretty good pretty healthy you swear that's not just some awesome robot skin suit that you're wearing I borrowed this from Bruce Willis and surrogates all right next question hey guys I'm Katie which are you my question is being a show that is so gloriously offensive what kind of crap do you get from famous people and you parody did anyone of them get especially mad at the show you could have memorized that I respect our preparations journalists don't prepare as much these days so I appreciate them did has anyone ever gotten mad this is the question I think right about absolutely or Cadence's were so mesmerizing it wasn't quite paying attention from the yeah you know we've had a few people get angry I'm trying to think I'm talking detail that the lawsuit sir we never do it a couple times I can play a couple of the phone messages actually yeah we had Carol Burnett had her panties all up her ass about something once right wait a minute Sarah Jessica Parker's voicemail human there was an intense rage with him there was a sequence where quagmire was at a sex shop and he what was it the washer woman which was the iconic Carol Burnett character from her television show came in and mopped up some white stuff on the floor of the sex shop either Carol Burnett or her lawyers became very upset about that and filed some sort of funny business and I guess we want I don't know I didn't really follow up Carol Burnett was a comedian before most of you were born I married some improvisation skits coming pretty cool I guess what she took objection to is she's never used bother to clean it up and sticky you know it's sort of like cooking in a pan you've already used without clean builds up taste its flavor kids boiling a baseball how far into our 30s do we all have to get before the stops being cute I don't know every number 10 or 20 years all right we got another question hi my name is Brennan and I consider doing a crossover of Family Guy and American ad reps Chris where you easy clothes [Applause] even say save some of that for the porcupine on your head it would probably taste better if instead of a spoon you use the stick of butter if that character you dressed us may oh my let's get a backpack full of video that is his day delicious what's the purpose of eating a Mayo it's a it's a new Hollywood diet it actually what was your question because you read a lot Mayo because we're you heal over and die I think the question was just so he could eat the NATO action the questioner did you just want to if you just want to like performance art this Mayo here across across the shelter to one American diet and Family Guy and perhaps we've done that a oh my editing clocks I think the DVDs are still available we have done crossover before guess we should keep moving huh all right next question um hi my question is for Seth MacFarlane with the success of Ted does it push back your work on the Flintstones I mean the Flintstones is on hold for the moment anyway so those are those two are independent of each other but we don't know when the Flintstones is going to happen it could be in the next year it could be in the next five years and there's no there's no exact schedule wait but speaking of Ted I noticed that the Ted plush is available for sale it would seem so wait is it true that that is in fact a talking teddy bear yes it does talk and say many things from the film well now you know what to get me for Christmas yeah will it get high with you to get high in its presence can you convert it into a smoking apparatus of some kind it's 2012 I think you can do pretty much whatever you want there's a gentleman with a hat here - the next question [Applause] a Seth MacFarlane what's your formula [Applause] I think they need you back on the set of Annie Hall any home was a picture by a after me you're all ready for the summer haven't you there's subtler this minute it's gladly tri-cornered isn't it it's like in there in the Revolutionary era if people were a lot of people or apartments you know a 19 our founder treatments next guy needs a heaping spoonful of mayonnaise [Applause] all right next question unfortunately by witnesses birthdays for Seth not Scotty Scotty no um I think it's actually Scotty don't but that's all shackle just say if you want to quote come correct [Applause] all right I was wondering if maybe you and the Simpsons would possibly swap animations for episode like you use do your respective animations maybe for the intro and I don't know if you understand say again are mean that means I'm crazy style the style would you be literally swap off of the character design yeah like a different look up like the services and draw the payment I can just change is like where's sorry oh yeah and Knox what characters just the designs animation shoot on yeah that sounds that's not a problem thank you for the question text I have questioned I guess see anymore Consuela Yeah right Vance reservist you will see Consuela this season are you sure all right next question hi hey buddy so I have to ask what if what kind of fun male inspire that where does Robin Williams stories of you were ma'am what was it busier man no no no actually mail we got our that we did a paper mail segment where Peter everything Peter touches after he gets struck by lightning turns to Robin Williams he's asking about where that came from but I thought it was he asked about who wrote the actual letter yeah what was the letter what did the letter look like this here's a secret it wasn't really a letter we just came up with that the idea was lay back was for the viewer male episodes to inspire people to write in and then we would you know there could be some interaction with the fans but it just has never happened so if anybody wants to write in four you know on the viewer male episodes that would be nice please do it are I am now authors in the younger this is the first episode let's make a deal let's make a deal with the TV show before Carol Burnett hey tali where are you supposed to be a completion [Applause] my question was if you were gonna do any more movie spoof episodes just look so unwieldy you have to its two eyes in a mug anymore movie themed episode we made we made week you know we got lucky with with um with the folks at Lucasfilm because they have a very progressive attitude towards parody in fact they are probably the only company out there that has that progressive an attitude where they they get that the media landscape is just different and you know you can actually keep your brand alive by allowing people to kind of have some fun with it we you know a we thought about doing Star Trek or Indiana Jones or you know more the other movie series but it's it's it's you know we just have to it's all about getting a rights and you know not everyone is as enlightened as George Lucas [Applause] [Music] Oh I'm telling [Applause] [Music] you mean shower [Applause] we're doing one where I actually Chris gets mad at his parents and moves in with Herbert this year there's actually a really really great scene where they go to bed I'll just say in the same room and you know what I think it's okay as long as they love each other in the words of 40 Alan but the heart wants what the old creepy pervert wants thank you God when it comes to you number there we go walking wrong it's just straight [Music] [Applause] and no but not this it's too real
