I watched the red-band trailer last night and as for the voice thing: it sounds more like Stan Smith from American Dad then Peter or Brian. It's more in-tune with Seth's real-voice, but just alot more cartoony. It was okay I guess.

Really though: the show looks like a huge rip off of Wilfred. It was an Aussie series at first, then it had an American remake with Elijah Wood in the lead. I really enjoyed the show, follows a bit of a similar format: guy has imaginary pet who talks raunchy, gets baked and is creepy in general. Though due to that whole Simpsons-logic regarding jokes/plotlines, I'm sure Wilfred was a rip-off of something else so it's forgivable.

Anyways I thought it looked mildly amusing. There was some witty jokes in there and then there were some crude, blunt ones. I'm sure it'll be a mixed bag but still.

In fact, would anyone else prefer it if this movie was a Kevin Smith-styled slice of life comedy that just followed these two around?

I would love to see that movie.

Regarding the voice, I think it suits the character. As far as I'm concerned, that's all that matters.

The Red Band trailer looked like everything that's been wrong with Family Guy for the past seasons. The Green Band trailer actually looked funnier because it showed at least more scenes and not just jokes that were obviously beaten to the point of death.

This.
Green Band trailer was better because it showed some narrative rather than just MacFarlane repetitiveness. But wait, a comically violent domestic fight - where have we seen that before?

If this was a one-hour pilot for a new TV show, that'd be one thing. But this... I dunno.


see, i feel the opposite, if this was a TV show it would get old fast, but i think ~100 minutes, or however long might be, will not be too long.
in 100 minutes they can do every joke once, because there will be no reason to repeat any, it can't fall into a rut, therefore we should be safe.

There's only one joke and it got old in the trailer within seconds.

Just watched the green band trailer. Why wasn't this the first trailer? It actually tells you what the plot is and the circumstances surrounding how this teddy bear came to life.
