Is that this helium voiced annoyance I'm looking at?

 

[mobvok]

The one and only!

Shit, did he not do a skit to open it, or did I miss it?

 

[Pearl]

Seth MacFarlane is off to a good start!

He did an impression of Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting because Ben Affleck didn't get nominated for Best Director. Yeah, he's hilarious.

 

[corianderstem]

There wasn't a skit.

Hugh Jackman picked her up with one arm,
then he picked his wife up with the other arm at the same time.

 

[bono_212]

There wasn't a skit.

So...this is the opening to the Oscars?

 

[corianderstem]

Yep.

 

[Pearl]

I think only Billy Crystal does skits.

Nice jab at Rihanna and Chris Brown, and Mel Gibson

Unless I'm thinking of the Emmy's there's always a skit. I know Baldwin did one, it was hilarious.

 

[bono_212]

There we go.

 

[LemonMelon]

MacFarlane has to fill in the lack of laughter with his own.

 

[corianderstem]

Did Steve Martin and Baldwin host together? I loved that year. (Or maybe I'm just remembering Steve Martin.)

 

[Pearl]

This is so lame. Please stop it!

He was doing well before, but now he's tanking!

 

[bono_212]

Yes, let's just have Seth MacFarlane do timely stand-up. That was better.

 

[corianderstem]

I can't tell if Charlize looking pissed off was part of the joke or not.

Edit: part of the joke, I guess.

He made sure that I could understand the jokes by choosing ones I've had years to digest.

 

[Pearl]

I liked the part about Kate Winslet. Oh, how we've seen her boobs!

 

[corianderstem]

I'm normally pretty forgiving of crummy Oscar schtick, but this is pretty bad so far. And I mostly like MacFarlane.

I haven't hid the fact that I mostly hate him, but I do love the Shatner.

absolutely part of the joke

 

[Pearl]

MacFarlane is committing Self-Fulfilling Prophecy. And the audience is being polite.

 

[bono_212]

OK, I finally laughed out loud. HARD.

 

[corianderstem]

Flying Nun?

 

[bono_212]

Flying Nun?

Yeah, that's the one that made me laugh. The Smokey and the Bandit closing was nice too.

 

[corianderstem]

I laughed, then I was bored, then I laughed again at the end of the skit.
