Apparently Microsoft is all-in with the Family Guy and Windows 7. We’ll see. Already they’re using a “call back” that most viewers will not get.

Watch it quickly before the Hulu nazis tear it down.
Here’s the seen this commercial calls back to:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=FWsGvWwUctk
Blame The Rice Company for this.
Family Guy just jumped the shark.
This clip was not funny at all. I did get the call back reference when Stewie did the same thing to Brian. This just looks like Window 7 paid for product placement. You would expect Stewie to make fun of Win7.
This is actually the exact same scene where Stewie made his own music video for “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You”. And yes, it’s a reference they use often enough that everyone will get it
Is this a clip from an actual episode or an separate advertisement?
Its pretty disgusting but unusually hip for Microsoft.
Stupid
Kind of makes you pine for Seinfeld and Bill Gates, doesn’t it?
#7.. I was thinking the same thing… Those were actually funny.
Pretty witty for a bunch of twitties.
Very depressing, i can’t believe they sold out like that. -especially to MS.
The only way they could redeem their souls now is if the next episode,
they trash Win 7 in a comparison
with one of the Linux distros like Kbuntu..

Fake. Microsoft is hosting an event w/ Seth MacFarlane, however.
Family Guy is show that consists of sharks jumping other sharks.
#4 — You are right. A Stewie would indeed blast Microsoft.
I guess that this is what you get when you back a dump truck full of money up to Seth MacFarlane’s house. Though if this is fake I feel much better about it.
Dude! My Win7 Party Pack didn’t come with a Churro…major bummer!
This is clearly a joke. Either Microsoft is entirely stupid or Seth and FOX secretly are promoting Apple computers. Who would be impressed that Windows 7 allows you to “twitter”.
