EW's editorial guidelines Published on March 26, 2020 10:22AM EDT Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane put together a rough five-minute short with Brian and Stewie chatting about the coronavirus pandemic (watch below). MacFarlane released the sketch on Instagram with the two fan-favorite Family Guy characters doing a podcast where they end up discussing COVID-19. While the animation is very bare-bones (just some pencil drawings), the humor is pure Family Guy, with the duo mocking self-isolation, Hollywood reactions (that tone-deaf "Imagine" cover), toilet paper panic buying, President Trump's press conferences, corporate COVID-19 emails, and, of course, a dash of sincere earnestness.
