After being hired at Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc., Seth MacFarlane was given a chance in 1996 to direct a sequel entitled Larry and Steve, a seven-minute short broadcast as part of Cartoon Network’s World Premiere Toons.

This short begins with Steve in front of a camcorder recording an SOS tape for somebody to come and save him from his bumbling owner, Larry. Steve recounts for the tape the misadventures that have ensued ever since Larry bought Steve from the dog pound, focusing on a series of misadventures and hijinks that ensued when the pair went to the mall to buy items for Larry’s apartment.

While at the mall, the two destroy nearly everything. Larry, looking for a light bulb for his bedside lamp, puts in a high-wattage lighthouse bulb, then criticizes Steve for saying that wasn’t a good idea, commenting that he didn’t go to kindergarten for 12 years because he was stupid. (It was because he got his foot caught in the radiator.) When Larry plugs the lamp in, it turns into a wide lightsaber and he cuts the store in half. As this is happening, Larry references the “Luke, I am your father…” line from the movie The Empire Strikes Back by saying “Luke, this is your landlord. You still haven’t returned my Weedwacker”.

ALthough not as crude as the first short, it still retains the same random feel with sight gags that mirror gags later used in Family Guy. Such gags include

A pilot handing the controls over a small boy, presumably his son, only to find that he crashed the plane while the pilot was gone and then taking the boy out for a snack, cutting the loss.
A Scotsman reacting to the realization that people are around by running away and jumping out the window. (a nod to a Looney Tunes gag where Gossamer reacts to people in a destructive and evasive manner)
Letters from store signs crushing innocent bystanders.

North Dakota State should forfeit their invite & give it to Kentucky. Ashley Judd should never get shut out of the Dance.

Too bad the SEC blew ass this year. And this is comin’ from someone who lives and breathes SEC. But I live in Memphis, so I can’t help but cheer for the Tigers.

Let North Dakota State, wherever the hell that is, have their moment. Won’t last long.

Kentucky doesn’t belong anywhere near the Big Dance. And Ashley Judd ain’t what she used to be…

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen the Vanity Fair picture of Paul Rudd, Jason Segel, Seth Rogen & Jonah Hill today. Well, maybe almost as many times as I have seen the pink dolphin. Here they are together… at last!

Jill the Butcher is the woman who kept John’s body while Ben got the gang together for the flight to “Guam”. She is one of a few “Others” or “Friends of Others” that seem to function in normal society.
