Family Guy wasn’t always a smash-hit TV show with 431 episodes and so many controversies they even have their own dedicated Wikipedia page. Back in 1995, the Seth MacFarlane-created series was nothing more than a 16-minute animatic, which sparked viral attention after being unearthed on Twitter earlier this week.
“This looks like A.I. tried to recreate Family Guy from memory,” wrote one Twitter user in response to the news while another claimed stills from the pilot evoked “early ‘90s cartoon horror.”
Family Guy’s eerie early days aren’t the only bit of ‘90s cartoon news that made headlines this week either. In a recent interview with The Ringer’s Alan Siegel, Basic Instinct director Paul Verhoeven clarified that the Bart Simpson keychain featured in the 1992 erotic thriller was never intended to be a shoutout to the Fox staple. “In my storyboard, I had drawn a close-up keychain coming out of Beth’s pocket. And among these keys was a finger-long little puppet — also hanging on the keychain ring,” he recalled. “As my storyboards were often used by the crew to find out what I had in mind, the prop master might have, seeing my drawing, (put) a Simpsons character in there.”
Unlike Bart’s cinema stint, the hilarious tweets below were all crafted with care, including those detailing tardy interviewees, “goated” spam emails and the insanity of Instagram Reels comments.
