Now that I've thought more about it, it's like if Kevin Smith and Seth MacFarlane had a brain baby. The constant tangents reminds me a lot of the tangents in Family Guy. Either that or I'm thinking about this way too much... probably the ladder.It hadn't occurred to me, but now that you mention it, I can see some parallels: heavy banter, crude humor, pop culture references. I would guess that Smith and WWG are of similar age, and were inspired/influenced by some of the same things.
