MacFarlane’s portrayal of actresses at Oscars was no joking matter

SETH MacFarlane’s set of reductive offensive stereotypes masquerading as risqué ribald humour at the Oscars has provoked huge controversy, but he could be forgiven for wondering what all the fuss is about considering the latent chauvinism of the industry he was there to celebrate.

MacFarlane, who thinks fart jokes are the pinnacle of comedic invention, started the ceremony as he meant to continue, with a boorish musical number entitled; ‘We Saw Your Boobs’.

This excruciatingly cringey routine saw MacFarlane and a troupe of gay dancers prancing about the stage as the host listed all of the famous breasts audiences have been titillated by throughout the years. The identity of their owners was incidental in all of this. “Meryl Streep, we saw your boobs in Silkwood; Naomi Watts in Mulholland Drive; Angelina Jolie we saw your boobs in Gia; they made us feel excited and alive,” he crooned.
