Family Guy- Blue Harvest & It's from Shakespeare...

Simliar to Andy Fickman's alluding concepts used in his production of "She's the Man", Seth MacFarlene creates a short film using his creation, Family Guy. Instead of alluding to Shakespeare, MacFarlene alludes to Star Wars. Blue Harvest is based around Star Wars Ep. 4: A New Hope, where familier Family Guy characters are put in place of the real actors and used make comical flick. Foster talks about how almost everything is alluded to Shakespeare. No, MacFarlene is alluding to a Shakespearean play, but he is using the same satyrical comedy used by Shakespeare in his plays, like crude humor.
