This is true. I give the guy credit, he’s a good voice actor. But that only makes the fact that he’s essentially recycling Peter Griffin, (Homer Simpson without redeemable qualities and more obnoxiousness) all the more disappointing.

I feel pretty safe calling it one note without seeing it. Foul mouthed teddy bear. You really think it’ll be anything more than that? Not a chance. That’s like saying a Michael Bay movie will have a coherent plot. There will be no layers, no depth (although I’m sure there will be a pandering, cloying “sentimental” scene that will be quickly undercut by some trite metaphor/potty joke. Every single TV show MacFarlane has done has been the EXACT same show… foul mouthed Simpsons clone. He’s a hack. Comedy is subjective, like you said. EVERYTHING is subjective. But good and bad does exist. He’s bad. Everything he has done has been uninspired, cliche, and, of course, horribly written.

Logo Lou>> Actually funny… as far as?… Obviously, like alot of things in life, comedy is subjective. But I’m sure there is at-least a couple things in his shows that most would find funny. If not all of it. So that leaves us with the film… which has yet to be released. There is no ground for calling the film a “one trick pony” with-out yet seeing it. Just because a film has a talking teddy-bear does not mean it doesn’t have other eliments that would later qualify it as a favorite film… possibly earning it household, or cult following. Alot of pictures aren’t able to convey what their true heart is in a 2 min and 30 sec advertisment. I’ve been suprised… many more times than once. But, again, my… and your conjecture is moot… as the film is yet to release.

The trailer was cute, but still one note and obvious.

Still waiting for MacFarlane to do something that is actually funny.
