Background
This series is a compilation of animated sketches released on YouTube. The series, which aired several episodes a month, was originally sponsored by Burger King, who sponsored the first 10 shorts, with videos appearing on their official channel. The series was then sponsored by Priceline.com, and finally, Nike. There are a total of 50 episodes.[2] It has seen a successful launch on MacFarlane's YouTube channel, SethComedy, becoming the most watched YouTube channel of the week, generating three million video views within two days of the first episode's release.[3] MacFarlane later expressed disappointment with the quality of the series, believing he had been unable to give the show the commitment it needed at the time.[4]
