Seth MacFarlane is pretty good at surreal comedy which is what Naked Gun was originally

Having an actor like Liam Neeson that can be as deadpan as the original Leslie Nielsen but still have the range LN had as well to lean into comedic effects also helps to really sell the movie as well

MacFarlane thrives in absurdist spaces and I wish he took part in smaller projects that would let him really go all out. I'd love to see him make a horror comedy short film where he got final cut privilege

I’d say the Ted show, despite not being surrealist in style, has some of the best surreal writing.

“We used to have an Indian kid but they got him”

Liam is fucking hilarious in Ted too.

Liam brings tears to your eyes with a box of cereal and not the slightest smile. The dude is a phenomenal comedy actor.

I was absolutely flabbergasted at how good Ted (TV show) was. It's not some gamechanger or anything, but it is a super solid show that had me cackling at several points

I think because it’s something Seth is a nerd about. Sitcoms.

I mean seriously, it’s like the shows that inspired him to make Family Guy. Nuclear family, weird pet

He was also funny in A Million Ways To Die In The West
