I’ve put up with a lot from you sir, and remained a staunch fan of Family Guy and pretty much most things you have been involved in. Your Oscars was better than James Franco’s. Even as a practicing Catholic person, I can shake my head and appreciate the atheist jokes and digs at religious people.
But there are some things up with which I cannot put. In your latest masterpiece A Million Ways to Die in the West you said something to the effect of “Is that even your real name? Or is it something terrible like Gwendolyn?”
:eek: Whoa there! What was that about?!
But seriously, of all the names to pick on! There are much worse names (no offense to any Berthas out there)!
Your pal,
Gwendolen
Thirded. My wife and I just watched it the other day. A few laughs, but I was hoping for funnier. And yeah, it seems like there was a lot more he could have done with the premise. It was kind of like an article from “The Onion”, where the title or concept is the funniest part, and the rest was kind of meh.
But MacFarlane’s humor is pretty hit & miss for me. Never really been able to get into Family Guy. I think I remember enjoying Ted(?)
And yes, Gwendolyn is a perfectly cromulent name. I think he was going for absurdist humor in picking a “nice” name instead of something more obvious, like “Bertha”. But as I say, I don’t really always get his humor.
It may have been a dig at Gwendolyn Foster, a film professor who said she was appalled by his sexist 2013 Oscar host routine. I don’t know about the timing.
