What's the name of the girl in the white dress?
Trey Parker is way smarter than him.
Sethâ¤
Yet you canceled Longmire to make room for more Duck Dynasty type shows.
That proved to be the right decision. Lol.
But in all seriousness, thank you.
Netflix has done so much with that show that you and regular TV wouldn't/couldn't.
Long live Longmire
Trey parker and Matt stone are smarter and funnier.
from humble beginnings
prayin fou u seth
Well Seth, at least they are strong enough to take all the criticism and not change a damn thing about themselves. You, on the other hand, are so gutless and afraid of criticism that you can't even walk outside and show the world your real hairline.
The fraidy cats at A&E cut the speech short when Seth made fun of them and their dick….. I mean duck dynasty…..
How sad
Thats funny. They cut his speech off at the end before he ripped on Duck Dynasty. Oh, A&E… so sneaky.
Where's the rest of it?
Cutting the video short because he ragged on Duck Dynasty, a show that deserves the hell out of all criticism it's been getting…
I'm disappointed in you, A&E.
Here’s the full acceptance speech:
This is very exciting, standing here live on A&E with close to a billion people watching something else. I don’t win a ton of awards, so this is going to look great next to my soccer participation trophy from 1988. The word ‘genius’ gets thrown around a lot, which is good because otherwise I probably wouldn’t be getting this. But even taking that into account, let’s put this in perspective here – being called a genius in Hollywood is kind of like being called thin at Disneyland, this is not a bar that is all that high. Let’s also not forget that I’m being declared a genius on the network that airs Duck Dynasty, this is a show whose cast members believe that hurricanes are caused by gay marriage. I wish I were joking.
But honestly, I do appreciate this very much, I bust my ass, try to do the best job with everything I do, so it’s always nice to get a little hat’s off for that. I wanna thank my beautiful wife, Alicia, who I married three hours ago because my publicist said it would make this speech more relatable. I wanna thank the people at Fox, who years ago took a chance on a quirky little animated show, about a bumbling dad and his family, which I saw, and then created Family Guy. And I want to thank the broadcast critics for everything. You’ve given me all that great criticism over the years, and not this trophy, you guys are like a remorseful, abusive dad. I’m sorry about all the cigarette burns but here’s five bucks cause it’s Easter.
Because you guys are being so cool here, I’m going to give you an out. You can take this back after you’ve seen Ted 2 and Mark Wahlberg gets sperm in his eyes. In all seriousness, all I can say is that I’m very grateful, and if my work has made the world even just a tiny bit better … I would be incredibly surprised.
Where's the rest of it?
A&E selectively censors Seth MacFarlane's speech – A&E needs to put the entire clip up. Shameful.
