Stewie Griffin uses Twitter - That Windows 7 Family Guy Clip

Microsoft pulled out of sponsoring Family Guy in the name of Windows 7 recently, but this clip purports to be the product tie-in. In it, Stewie Griffin uses Twitter on his laptop, with Brian the family dog shoe-horning in a load of features he could be using.

I'm a fan of Family Guy, but this is a bit out of kilter with the general tone of the show, and is also alleged to be a re-dubbed scene that was already used in a previous episode.



I can't vouch for the veracity of this clip, and it seems pretty lazy and tacked-on to be a genuine Microsoft endorsement, whether they followed it through or not. Having said that, they enlisted one of my favourite comedians, Jerry Seinfeld, a year or so ago and that was widely derided.

  1. I dont believe Microsoft could pull togethere such a lame campaign - but then again, given that their entire Operating System has been lame as far as I can remember.. maybe they did
