- this is the picked up version of the life with larry also notice its just a few years before family guy and its still seth mcfarlanes characters and voices. these are characters that became family guy..
Steve should have been Brian's replacement instead of Vinny.
Its a shame I can't like this more than once
Bradley Nylund Make another account, if you want.
Because I'm pretty sure Steve is Brian.
AJVersatility19 No, Steve is the African-American version of Brian.
Hey you're the minion of Professor Chaos
Basically a clean Family Guy version for kids lol
This is way too clever for kids....most kids wouldn't find this funny.
Tez Wint Incorporated I found this humorous from a young age but didn't really understand all the jokes until I got older
Carterhj1114 so what? Kids nowadays say "fuck" more than "candy"
And somehow funnier and more adult than the show for adults
not to RUclipss standards
"I didn't spend 12 years in kindergarten cause I'm stupid."
"Well why then?"
"I got my foot caught in a radiator." XD
That's some densely packed joke material right there. The first sentence is a joke on its own, but then it becomes even more ridiculous.
5:59 Okay, I just now fucking realized that this is Early Quagmire.
Crazy56U do you mean the prototype quagmire?
Raquel Alvia protomire?
Giggity
lol "youth in Asia"
I get it.
He said "euthanasia"
@@DarkDoughnutsVids Congratulations! You found the joke.
ok
I never got that joke before now.
Sorry for laughing at you. Sorry for laughing at you.
I vividly remember seeing this pilot quite a few times back in the mid 90's on cartoon network, always hoping they would make more episodes. Now, all these years later, to find out that this was essentially the prototype for Family Guy!
Man, this would have worked really well as a kids' show!
Except for the overtly adult themes. It didn't work because it had the same humour as some of the few higher-brow jokes on Family Guy but combined it with Warner Brothers Animaniacs-style animation that had always been a staple in children's cartoons instead of the less over-the-top style that Family Guy employs.
*****
It could, but kids wouldn't enjoy it as much as those.
+CDog2910 how could they not have enjoyed it? a subhuman dog and an idiot landlord, how could that not have been enjoyable?
Luke Dearey The jokes. They may have not understood it, but it would have been good for teenagers on MTV or so
Yeah I wish we got more episodes.
And I don't know about understanding the jokes, depends on the kid; but it had a pretty fast-paced way of telling the jokes which I think younger kids would've appreciated, but yeah, kind of strikes me as something teenagers would've appreciated more, like Invader Zim and Daria.
Brain: “Peter, I think it’s time you got a new bed.”
Peter: “I don’t know Brian. Remember that time we went shopping before Family Guy?”
brain lol
@@tewam67 Yep and cute your profil
That'd actually be a clever cutaway. Lol
@@tailedgates9 Yep
Lol!
I love the "Q" running gag.
Me too
lol my kind of cartoon lol
"I didn't spend twelve years in kindergarten because I'm stupid!"
"Why then?"
"I got my foot stuck in the radiator."
You have no clue how much I laughed when I first heard that many years ago lmao.
Seth MacFarlane seriously could have been an awesome Looney Toons writer.
TeeJay Small I'm more inclined for him to write an Animaniacs episode... since there are rumors of Animaniacs coming back.
HOPEFULLY... Early Mcfarlane is still with us and Family Guy (especially the recent seasons like 6 and up) hasn't ruined his comedic edge...
Jacques Webster NO! We still had great cartoons in the 2010s and it was thanks to Japanese Anime saving it in the 2000s with the help of FLCL, Naruto, and Gurren Lagann. Also we still got great cartoons in the 2000s with Spongebob, Samurai Jack, Invader Zim, MLAATR, Danny Phantom, Fosters Home, Billy and Mandy, As Told by Ginger, Kids Next Door, Flapjack, Chowder, Spongebob, Fairies, South Park and especially Family Guy.
Those whole thread is sad. He wrote Hannah Barbera cartoons.
Johnny Bravo was incredible
@@PS_josh imo Season 1 was great, 2-3 was better, 4 crashed
I don't think Seth likes Looney Tunes that much. He has a clear hatred for Road Runner, for example.
"You will be indirectly responsible for the resulting euthanasia"
"Oh boy they've got enough kids over there as it is"
That joke still makes me laugh to this day.
I never understood the joke. Even now I still don't.
@@jmarwiley8044 Steve said euthanasia. Larry thought he said "youth in Asia"
@@malikharris5828 Okay I get it now. I didn't know what euthanasia meant. Had to look it up. Thanks
@@jmarwiley8044 whoa
@@jmarwiley8044 larry?
In an alternate timeline, Larry and Steve would've ran for around 4-5 series, but will be fondly remembered
I’d like to be in that timeline.
@@roberttreacy8271 Me too.
Family Guy similarities:
Larry = Peter
Steve = Brian
Saleswoman = Diane Simmons' voice
Pilot = Quagmire
Boy = Neil Goldman
Larry's boxy red retro sedan = Peter's boxy red retro stationwagon
And "Stewie's has usually got good stuff".
The evolution is stunning.
Half an oldsmobile
*Sees saleswoman*
"BOSS!"
hell, the previous larry pilot "life of larry" has a bit more family guy relations!
larry's wife is named "lois", and they have a son named milt, who is obviously a precursor to Chris. no meg tho...
and some of the gags were used in family guy too. such as the part where larry and his family goes to see Philadelphia, and larry starts cracking up at tom Hanks saying "i have aids"... or the drive by arguments, where the Brit drives up to a man and says "i disagree"...
goes to show when Seth MacFarlane makes a joke that he thinks is funny, it sticks in his mind for later use.
@@kurosurintomasu his name is milt
I do like Family Guy but this pilot is much better and more quick-witted. It's got that old-school Hanna-Barbera charm while still having subtle adult humor. Fox wanted to try and make Family Guy a Simpsons clone. I feel like this would have stood out more.
I agree.
This 20 year-old cartoon has better animation than the modern Family Guy episodes.
And it's funny
Here here.
I know.. I mean, wow.
back when Seth McFarlane had actual Animation
Yea when people try to get success the effort is tremendous but once their comfortable the effort goes elsewhere
"You will be indirectly responsible for the resulting euthanasia."
"Oh boy, they got enough kids over there as it is."
This is fucking gold.
Portal Freak It took me a while to understand that.
Legitimately one of the best puns I've ever heard, both written and delivered
At 6:15 Quagmire was born
Yup.
0:36 That's how Shaggy met Scooby-Doo.
Lol
Scoob would like a word with ya
I just noticed lois and shaggy are there
"Luke, this is your landlord, you still haven't returned my weed whacker" LOL
....And Quagmire was still a pilot.
He still is
This should have been a series. It's like the earlier, better episodes of Family Guy, only more "cartoonish" and for younger audiences.
In my opinion, this is even better than Season 1-3 Family Guy.
It did air on adult swim years ago.
why are we not funding this
Because it's an early family guy
still this needs to be a show
Are we tv producers?
Lmfao even though these guys don't get the joke I do. the stroke episode where Peter goes to a clinic and get stem cell treatment. And then says why are we not funding this
Stoke stroke stroke
This is absolutely perfect! It's like Family Guy mixed with Looney Tunes!
Yeah, sure! Only Cartoon Network to make a crazy pilot of a kickass show!
And i think you mean like this: Family Guy + Looney Tunes + MGM Tex Avery Cartoons + 40's Woody Woodpecker = A wild/crazy/slapstick cartoon pilot!
It's more like Family Guy and Animaniacs.
2:23
Stewie's got great stuff indeed. DAMN YOU VILE WOMAN!
Bram25 notice how he said the AC is high in that place suggesting stewie is cold
When Steve talks, I can only hear Brian.
And I can only hear Peter when Larry speaks.
What has been heard cannot be unheard.
"I'm a dog, in case you're, well, stupid."
ha ha ha, that made me laugh :)
5:28 so a 800 watt bulb plus a regular lamp equals lightsabor?.......AWESOME
+Justin Greenleaf Cartoons don't have to be 100% realistic!
Imagine how drastically different Family Guy would be if they stuck to this artstyle.
Thank you Seth McFarlane. You're cartoons are hilarious, and I'm glad that this show spawned Family Guy, which spawned the Cleveland Show. So, once again, thank you.
Shaggy Cameo at 0:37 seconds looking for his pup named Scooby-Doo, it was Steve instead.
This actually has some pretty funny jokes in it. It's a shame Family Guy doesn't have subtle humor like this anymore.
2:12 listen to the music. Sound familiar?
Yep
No
Wait what is it?
family guy
I love how expressive these characters are compared to modern family guy
Stewie's
you know... instead of continuing family guy, Seth should really remake this show
It's his college pet project mate and most of the ideas here went on to be in family guy
@@inigobantok1579 The Electronics store is called "Stewies"
That is if FOX will allow it.
He's under contract you know.
@@dnirikirinb Nooo really? and you mean Disney lol
@@killermon117
That too I guess since Disney owns FOX now.
Larry sounds more like Ted than Peter Griffin.
Nope.
I am aware of that.
+BradTheThird thats because the guy who made family guy and ted was the one who made this and voicsed it
This is were they got the inspiration.
He sounds nothing like Ted. But he sounds like Peter in the early Family Guy seasons.
"Honey I think I know what I'm talking about. Alright. Alright. I didn't spend 12 years in kindergarten because I'm stupid." - Larry
"... What?" - Steve
That part cracked me up
2:21 "Stewie's usually got good stuff!"
???
3:09 How is no one talking about that Grey Poupon reference? XD
I wonder what would have happened if things were slightly different if CN had picked this up as a show? would family guy have ever been made had Larry and Steve taken off?
I think this show would take off, but with a child friendly version of Family Guy's humor.
BlythePennyBicycle21 probably
dannytheman1313 If adult swim launched maybe in 1999 and not 2001, then this could have possibly stayed on Cartoon Network. Seth moved over to Fox since he could not keep the adult content in the show at the time. But hey, at least Family Guy is now on Adult Swim.
Ryan Good I suppose so but part of the fun of a lot of these kinds of shows back then was seeing how much adult humor they could cram into it before the sensors told them to stop. I feel like this could have been a real test for him to see if he could do family guy style jokes in a kids show. Hell even when family guy first started it was interesting to see how many dirt jokes they could slip in, now they just outright do whatever they want because they know they can't get canceled
Ryan Good But it's shit
This is a visual pleasure. The fast-paced fluent animation is a jarring comparison to the bland, cookie cutter style of Family Guy.
SuperSpookyDude I've seen worse animation than Family Guy it's a little stiff but not that bad
jnc8999 you have a family guy profile pic your point is therefore I N V A L I D
I couldn't watch this kind of Saturday morning slapstick every week... the softer "cookie cutter" is much more fluid and doesn't take energy to watch. You need a bowl of soggy frosted sugar bombs to keep up!
The series relies on good stories.
I did like the animation in the Life of Larry... esp the drive-by disagreement in London.
2010s cartoons have way worse animation than Family Guy!
me NO! Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Gumball and The Loud House has equally good animation as the good ol’ days.
I remember watching this cartoon as a kid. I was surprised when I learned, relatively recently, that it was made by the same creator of Family Guy. Looking back at it, it made sense, but not that I've seen it again, the similarities are even clearer. It's practically a precursor to Family Guy.
So this came before Family Guy, man Seth is talented
jnc8999 this came after family guy, family guy was created 1999 or was it before
@@brandicurren7711
This short debuted in 1997. It came before.
A lot of people don't give enough credit let alone *_respect_* to Seth MacFarlane nowadays. Which is honestly disgraceful since he made both this and The Orville.
He also worked on Johnny Bravo and Dexter's Lab I think.
Oh, my God! I remember watching this on Catroon Network when I was a boy! Thank you, Deflep Marc!
That crashed plane background painting is really impressive. You never saw anything that detailed on Family Guy much less 90s Hanna Barbera cartoons.
6:12
this animation style looks like a 1960s hanna barbera cartoon
That’s because Seth MacFarlane worked at Hanna Barbera at the time
1960s? Well that's a strech....maybe early to mid 90s
That line about Larry being in kindergarten for 12 years because he got his foot caught in the radiator sounds like something Peter would say on any given episode of Family Guy (particularly the early ones where Brian and Peter were friends and Stewie was the evil loner in the house who tried to kill Lois and/or achieve world domination).
And that's how Larry and Steve would later become Family Guy
aww I loved What A Cartoon
αиɢɛlвʋииʏ It was like a melting pot block of ideas. Some of CN's best shows like The Powerpuff Girls (Original) originated from "What a Cartoon!"
Idk why, but I like this better than family guy.
manualLaborer So... do you like Call of Duty?
It's basically Family Guy with different visuals. It's the same concept with the same jokes.
Not quite. It doesn't have the constant cut away humor that Family Guy is unfortunately littered with. It's why American Dad is good, and Family Guy isn't.
mascot1063 I do love me some American Dad.
Maybe because this has actual substance and doesn't rely on vulgarity and an abundance of references, just a thought.
I remember seeing this as a kid! I never realized how funny it is!
For some reason I felt a need to come back here after watching Family Guy's Seasons 1-3 with my friends while on Vacat. I always felt this spinoff was super close
*EDIT*
RANDOM GODDAMN Coincidence NC uploaded a video on the SAME THING LIKE DAMN haha thats Awesome
Spinoff. This was pre family guy turned into the pilot. It’s the same show, same creator. Not a spin-off pal.
Yeah this isn't a spin off
Well.....I didn't expect to see you here
This was _very_ witty for a kid's show and with a noticeable amount of adult humor, like the "euthanasia"/"youth in asia" joke, and the Scotsman with "xenophobic" in his name.
I can see how this evolved into Family Guy.
You can also see why it wasn't as popular with kids. CN cartoons in the late 90s were witty, but not THAT witty.
I like this way better than Family Guy XD
same
Which they don't make cartoons like this anymore since the last time I saw this was in the 90's.
same
This is the beta.
This is Family Guy before the Family Guy
They should seriously do a Family Guy cutaway that references this....
Possibly the only time Seth worked for a kids network.
Comedy derived from the interaction between two characters rather than vulgarity and shock? MY GOD, SETH CAN ACTUALLY WRITE!
Correction: he *could.*
Ngl, I like this style way more than the official _Family Guy_ style...
Same here.
Haha this is awesome! I vaguely remember this. Funny how its like all the same characters yet different. Quagmire is still a pilot!
2:51 That guy at the table is Francis and Herbert after Potara fusion lol
Im surprised this guy didn't replace Brian on the show. Or at least make a cameo.
Vinnie's visuals are based off of him.
Tyler McCall Im not seeing it.
Omg it just hit me! Is that Glenn Quagmire voicing the pilot?!
I remember watching this! I even remembered some of the lines word-for-word. For some reason I didn't remember the voices were the same as Family Guy years later until now!
Almost same
Could they please do a family guy episode like this. Just, slapstick. Throughout the entire episode. Please?
That would escalate in sedgy and splattery gags, which can get quite uncomfortable.
@@StellaFangX Fair
Steve And Larry + The Simpsons = Family Guy
3:35 - Mickey the Xenophobic Scotsman. ;)
Love the reference to "Stewie's" :-D
I remember watching this episode decades ago, very nostalgic
4:51 lol old homes like from the 1910’s had those wooden planks for plaster. Now, gypsum board is fastened directly to wood studs.
The pg version of Family Guy
4:25 Listen with your eyes closed.
😂😂😂😂
That might've been subversive if this wasn't made by the creator of Family Guy.
FireLightning16 nice
O_O My adult mind went to places......I need an even adultier adult..........
:o
This is actually Family Guy’s prototype pilot episode before the actual pilot episode
"This is even worse than the time we got pitched to Cartoon Network!"
Man, this brought me back! I remember watching this back when I was a kid in the 90s!
this episode is made by Seth Mcfarlane.
Alex Ice The whole show was, it's the forerunner to Family Guy. He was testing the waters basically.
No
Oh my good the pilot is quagmire and even more “60s radio voice personality” ish because when he says licorice whip he says “huwhip” which becomes a Stewie Brian joke
"Stewies' usually got good stuff."
I can't believe I missed that after all these years.
I feel like we've been cheated out of a good cartoon.
You know the biggest difference between this and Family Guy. This is actually funny.
Who would even purchase that bed, much less sleep in it?
Seth McFarlane ... you do this series now or there will be dire consequences for the lost souls that are in their thirties now, waiting for a show that's not coming.
We need this.
"Mom, can we get Family Guy?"
"No, we have Family Guy at home"
Family Guy at home:
Family guy at home is unironically better.
this was before family guy
"How do you feel, Steve?"
"Like Agamemnon after the fury of Clytemnestra."
"Ha, ye... Who?"
"It's a tragedy."
Didn't understand that as a child, but I love that so much now as an adult.
this is the really first family guy episode..
this cartoon would have been better than family guy by a million miles.
+C.L. The Raccoon well yeah, for example: no Meg.
Luke Dearey not even that, its clever while still being innocent...like Family Guy used to be back in its early years.
C.L. The Raccoon Family Guy is clever as well and has strong jokes and smart comedy. You're just too sensitive is what your problem is.
Luke Dearey no, no, I agree, Seth McFarline is a very clever and smart writer, but throughout the later seasons, a lot of jokes became forced and/or used crude topics to convey a satirical sense on said topics without a need.
I'm just saying there's a difference between clever, wholesome, and just plain crude, or when something is all three, which Family Guy is. I'm not some libtard can't take a joke, ya know?
C.L. The Raccoon oh, sorry. But yeah, I'll admit the later episodes have been getting pretty clichéd.
I'm remember watching this when I as little. It all makes sense now!
Okay this is a masterpiece
Basically a Concept of Family Guy, but I saw it as a Kid on What a Cartoon.
2:52 judging by the chin I’d say this was an early version of herbert
This Is Where Family Guy Began
From Turner Entertainment
Mickey the Xenophobic Scotsman should've been a Family Guy Character
DAT ANIMATION! She's gorgeous!
It would've been Family Guy for kids.
Implying it Family Guy is not for kids.
***** I am saying it is for kids for the jokes are stuff that middle schoolers find hilarious.
***** Shows like this became popular ever since the Simpsons.
*****
"implying"
hey, i can give you a point though, atleast you didn't use le funy maymay arows.
***** At least South Park offers social satire, while Family Guy offers none of that, so South Park really can't be a predecessor. While Family guy only has its passionate Middle school fanbase. What is acceptable for a younger audience has changed.
That Guy Who Sleeps in the Hood of Your Car lel
Seth should have reanimated this in Family Guy as the story of how Peter and Brian met!
omg that pilot was Quagmire!
"Larry this says your license is suspended"
"No they just took it away temporarily"
who spotted Quagmire 6:16 to 6:23
Not me
even gave him the same voice haha
I like the pilot said he has to go to the back this dude is definitely glen quagmire
