Family Guy video ads can now show up on any website or blog that uses Google AdSense (including Trend Hunter). The [Google TV](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parental-watchlists) ads require no special action by the website or blog owner. Thousands of websites that cater to males under 30 will find the animation appearing without making any changes to their accounts (the Family Guy audience).

These short, Family Guy videos by Seth MacFarlane are all [original episodes made-for-web](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/life-in-stitches). The [pre-roll ads videos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/equativ-shoppable-ads) will give Google another way to make money. Each ad will involve one or two minute web episodes of the Calvacade of Cartoon Comedy.
