Seth MacFarlane: Disses Make Him Great Oscars Host

Seth MacFarlane Oscars

Seth MacFarlane did it! We won’t be grabbing our pitchforks & torches — he turned the 85th Oscars into the best in years.

Seth MacFarlane sang about Kristen Stewart‘s boobs, slammed Rihanna and Chris Brown, and even joked about Abraham Lincoln‘s assassination. In other words, nothing was off limits for the Family Guy creator, 39.

Seth MacFarlane As Oscars Host: No Holds Barred

Seth — thank you for taking no prisoners. You may have been totally offensive, joking that John Wilkes Boothe really got inside Abraham Lincoln’s head.

And thanks to you, not being afraid to be offensive, but doing it multiple times, we now have our most entertaining Oscars in our memory.

It was full-on insanity that worked, when you had William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk drop in from the future to warn you about what a disastrous job you were doing as host.

Seth MacFarlane’s Biggest Mistake Of The Night

Your biggest misstep, announced Kirk, was singing about stars with the Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles. It was hilariously irreverent and then while we were still reeling from you warbling about Naomi Watt‘s boobs, you were making out with Sally Fields wearing a nun’s habit, and then orchestrating a nutso sock puppet performance of Flight.

You called Ben Affleck a Kardashian sister with facial hair, asked the cast of Prometheus to explain “what the hell what was going on there,” and mocked Hollywood for being so Jewish.

Then you insulted half the country by dissing all of womenkind for “their innate ability to never ever let anything go.”

Jewish Hollywood wasn’t your only religious target. When Daniel Radcliffe and Kristen Stewart came out to present, you said: “a boy wizard and female vampire, but together they’re everything the Christian Right says is wrong with Hollywood.”

Why The ‘Family Guy’ Creator Worked As Oscars Host

You couldn’t have carried it off if you hadn’t been willing to poke major fun at yourself by saying that “you guys have made beautiful, inspirational movies… my movies have been urinated on in boxes outside of stores.”

But that intensity started to get pulled back after you made fun of Christopher Plummer as Captain Von Trapp, and went into basic hosting duties. Nest year – don’t joke about how long the show is getting EVER, it only makes us feel like we are getting tired.

When an Oscar show is as good as this one, it doesn’t feel long.

Especially, when you close with singing, “here’s to losers and their fake smiles at the bar.” You and Kristin Chenoweth executed a perfect ending. And you proved you could go host-to-host with veteran Billy Crystal and not be a loser.

What do you think HollywoodLifers – did Seth MacFarlane do a great job? Vote!

With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My site has a lot of unique content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any solutions to help stop content from being ripped off? I’d definitely appreciate it.|

Terrible, offensive jokes. Not funny at all! Long way from Billy Cristal. Looks true that everyone else on the list was not available to host. Vulgar, inapropriate jokes, plus well hidden antisimitic comments. Good student of Mel Gibson?

I really enjoyed the show. I think Seth is brilliant. Actors can laugh at themselves too, I don’t believe thier were too many that were really offended – except maybe Chris Brown – and if the joke fits……

It would seem you were watching a different show than the one I watched. That or you’re smoking crack.

The reason I kept on watching was to see who was going to win. The host was the worst ever! He looked awkard most of the time and not funny at all. MB

Domestic violence is nothing new to our society. So Seth actually said something we ALL can relate to. What’s wrong with that?

I thought Seth did a great job. He made fun of Rihanna and Chris Brown – you have gotten back together already. You all have a stick up your a$$ es and don’t what is funny anymore. If you don’t like jokes, don’t watch/listen.

I am, or was, a HUGE fan but this was just awkward and UNfunny…shock for the sake of shock value does not equal comedy. It was unclever, crude and I am thinking this article and these comments were written by 11 year old boys. This was the worst awards show I have ever seen in my life.
