This Sept., the Family Guy creator will bring his “Seth MacFarlane’s Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy,” to the Internet. The installments have been described as “animated versions of the one-frame cartoons you might see in The New Yorker, only edgier,” which sounds questionable at best.
The clips will have advertising incorporated into them and Google will syndicate the show to thousands of websites using AdSense, which means if you are a 17-32 year old male with a penchant for Axe Body Spray and fart jokes, you will be forced to view this.
MacFarlane will be making out big, receiving a percentage of the ad revenue.
Production carries a multimillion-dollar price tag, which is the largest amount spent on original Internet content to date.
McFarlane is a genius, as displayed by Family Guy, but with the clip playing in an ad box and the subtle advertising within it, hasn’t it already failed with it’s target of young men who are highly aware and averse to having products shoved down their Gen-X throats?

This is fantastic for short form animated Web series. We believe we have the world’s first daily animated series on the internet called “Traveling Gringos”. Our shorts are around 30 seconds each and come out Monday-Friday. We have been releasing daily episodes since February of 2008.

This is really exciting for indie filmmakers because this is going to create new ways for us to monetize our work.
When the big guys team up, things get noticed. These are exactly what people who are self distributing our films need because this will only create more markets for us.
