and I must say, as funny as the writing for Family Guy is, the actors who do the voicework managed to improvise some great additional bits. We got a sneak preview of a new plot line coming this season, as Chris Griffin begins work at a local convenience store managed by a man named Carl, voiced by none other than Jon Benjamin, known for Jason and Coach McGuirk on Home Movies.
In addition to reading a full episode, the actors fielded questions from the audience and sang some classic Family Guy songs as well as a new one – Alex Borstein (Lois) and Seth McFarlane (as Peter) sang a bawdy rewrite of Neil Diamond and Barbara Streisand’s You Don’t Bring Me Flowers, aptly retitled You Don’t Eat My P***y – yep, they went there.
We also got to see a sneak preview of a few scenes from the season premiere, Star Wars-themed episode. Fans of Family Guy and Star Wars alike will get a kick out of the episode. Since I haven’t seen it all yet, I can’t compare it to Robot Chicken Star Wars, but Seth Green assured the audience that he and Seth McFarlane consulted with one another to ensure that their humor would be complimentary between their respective Star Wars spoofs.
