On the eve of Recent passage to the beloved director/A newspaper for a time of time David Lynch is worth remembering that one of his best talents is his acting. He always nailed him in his live performances, either like Gordon Cole in Twin Picks or Like Johnon Ford in "Fabelmans", But he also brought his A-game to act. Case in point: 2016, season 15 episode of "Family Guy", "How Griffins stole Christmas." Lynch does not play a big role, but he appears in the intersection that asks the question: "What if David Lynch was descended instead of Santa Claus? The result is something that every Twin Peaks fan can surely appreciate:

What is nice about this intersection is that the writers clearly seem to have actually fulfilled the work of Lynch and can make specific jokes about it. On social media, you will often see that people are trying to joke about Lynch's work and they will clarify that "lynch = odd" is most thinking that they have inserted it, but I think it's safe to say at least one family writer Guy ”is a true fan of Lynch. And that makes sense: "Family Guy", like most works created by Seth McFarlane, is a show obsessed with pop culture of the 80's and 90's, and Twin Picks is one of the most icons that came out of that period.

It responds that the "family guy" would like Lynch to guest a starvet on their show. The real question is why David Lynch would like to act for the "Family Guy", a show that seems to have little in common with Lynch's most famous works. His appearance of the "Family Guy" was not exactly the same level of absurdity as Johnon Waters Cameoing in the movie "Alvin and Chips"But it's still a little strange.

Some Lynch fans may be surprised to find that Lynch is a repetitive character in all four seasons of Cleveland Show. He played the bartender Gus, a man who was strange but still friendly, and who also seemed to have many eccentric qualities together with Lynch himself. In terms of how much importance the cartoon shows have, Gus is a step below my Simpsons, but definitely given a more person than OMEEROM or Horacis in "Family Guy".

In a 2010 fun weekly interviewCleveland Show creator Mike Henry said he was not sure if Lynch was even aware of the "Family Guy" universe before signing the series, but wanted the eccentric director to be included anyway. As he explained:

"I am a huge fan of David Lynch. I was very inspired by his true uniqueness. During the day, when I was trying to understand what I wanted to do after college, I saw 'Wild of heart ' And I got into my car and moved to California. I realized if this guy could do something this strange and funny and wonderful, then I would go to it. You know, I talked to him by phone, I told him about the show and he was completely down. And so he is our eccentric bartender. "

What about what Lynch himself thought about the show? Henry revealed: "I was talking to him the other day and he said he saw a couple and that we were doing a" great job ". Well, I'll just take it according to nominal value. "

Assuming Lynch was legitimate, what was it that he liked the Cleveland Show anyway? The show wasn't, As I would point out the "family Guy" after giving upEspecially well received series. In a Twitter in 2010Lynch gave a brief explanation of why he took the project: "Mike Henry asked me to do it, so I said yes."

Lynch never explained much for his reasons to say to roles in the expanded "Guy Family Family"As long as they were saying not to vote for "gravity"), but beyond Mike Henry's request, one possible attraction is the creator of the "Family Guy" Seth McFarlain a real loveube to the musicals. "Family Guy" can be sarcastic and awkward, for sure, but McFarlane has a clean Loveube to music and he will often pause the whole show to make a detailed music number. Peter Singing the whole "Shyptopopi" Otherwise a non-musical episode is pure extravagant self-warning and something that breaks every basic rule of screening, but the "family-shown" has done so anyway. Cleveland's "Show" was not so great for musical sequences, but couldn't resist occasionally to do themor.

There is nothing that screams "Lynchian" for the Loveub of McFarlane's music, but shares a central part of Lynch's attractiveness: McFarlan's work, similar to Lynch, is not as ironic or as cynical as his reputation suggests. "Family Guy" doesn't have fun with the old musical sequences they parody, just as Lynch seems to really love American American life, even if it may seem at first glance as if he didn't. (Lynch too Loves myself a musical non-sector.)

Another potential attraction of "Family Guy" to Lynch is the constant altercation of the show with the nets and its constant willingness to mess with the audience. As ABC constantly interferes with Twin Peaks production, Fox has notorious abused the "family -guy" in the early seasons. And, as certain "Twin Peaks" viewers at the time complained at the time for strange surreal things just to double, the spectators of the "Family Guy" would complain about those Long -term convey tweets aside Only for a "family Guy" to continue to make them. "Family Guy" and David Lynch may not have a common tone, but at least they both want to miss the noses in television norms. When I thought about why Lynch would like to appear on the show two years after the Cleveland Show was canceled, there was no lack of reasonable explanations.
