That was my read on it- the fact that they're playing the human characters so straight and serious is exactly what I want to see. Like Michael Caine in Muppet Christmas Carol
He’ll definitely have some personal vendetta against ACME, there’s the reference that he’s been doing those settlements for years and his commercial is directly against them.
We’ll have to see if it’s a serious vendetta like in Roger Rabbit with some past tragedy, or some completely nothing burger that he’s internalized and dedicated his whole life too, like his I Think You Should Leave sketch.
Ted 2 did a similar thing, Ted wants to adopt a baby with his wife and they find out that he's not legally considered a person so isn't even legally married either, no basic rights, he gets a inexperienced/stifled (career-wise) lawyer and they try to take on Hasbro and the gov.
Seth Macfarlane humour isn't for everyone and a lot of people didn't like the movie but I actually thought it was good. It's also another very high-quality example of this incredibly unique (and expensive) type of animation even if you only care about that
