PUBLIC OPINION > Seth MacFarlane Was an Amazing Oscars Host

SodaHead Celebs 2013/02/26 22:00:00
The films have been reviewed, the awards have been handed out and the red carpet has been rolled up. The 2013 Academy Awards are officially over... but we're still scratching our heads about Seth MacFarlane as host. The man who's best known for creating "Family Guy" received mixed reviews as the MC of the night, so naturally, we wanted to know what SodaHeads thought. Interestingly enough, you liked him. You really, really liked him. A solid 61% voted that Mr. MacFarlane was "amazing" compared to the 39% who said he was "awful." Let's dig deeper.

YOUNGSTERS LOVE HIM, OLDIES PASS

As expected, age had a lot to do with whether or not you appreciated Seth MacFarlane's inappropriate banter. The youngest age group (13-17) was the most supportive of Seth, with 77% saying he was "amazing," while the oldest crowd (65+) was the least impressed with the host, with only 25% appreciating his hosting.

WOMEN WANT SETH

... well, maybe not in a romantic way. But surprisingly enough, they do appreciate the guy. Women were actually more likely to say that Seth was a great host (at 67%) than men were (at 58%), which is a bit shocking considering that a good portion of the MC's jokes revolved around semi-sexist quips and songs about boobies.

THE RICH ARE RUBBED THE WRONG WAY

There were few demographics who thought Seth MacFarlane was more awful than amazing -- but there were some. And one of them were those who made more than $100,000 a year, with 56% saying he was awful. Guess those rich guys don't like his type of humor. We wonder if they watch "Family Guy"...

    Personally, I loved him, and I'd totally want him in a romantic way. He's a handsome guy. So some of his jokes didn't work. And? He made jokes of the jokes that didn't work. Unless you're familiar with his brand of humor, you may not find anything about him funny. Luckily for him, I'm easily entertained.

    A dithering twat of a fool.

    Those who liked him should not own guns or drive cars as they have demonstrated they are irresponsible.

    He was a spectacular Oscar Host. He is talented & Funny.
    My 11 year old grandson wanted to watch another program, but when MacFarlane sang the "I saw your boobs" song he was hooked.
    I think this Oscar Night was one of the most entertaining in a long time.

    I thought he did a good job. Better than some of the others that hosted.

    He was awful and turned an already boring event into his tv show. The Boobs song? Really? If I never hear from this guy again it'll be too soon.

    His humor is a misnomer. Not at all funny. Vulgar and tasteless, yes. Funny? No way. Glad he is not interested in returning to the Oscars. And Family Guy stinks.

    According to my demographics I shouldn't have liked SM as the Oscar host, and, in fact, I don't really like Family Guy, though I watch it with my kids - all adults - and chuckle at it now and then, I just tend to find that it tries to hard. All that said, I thought SM was OK, even OK+. He can do a creditable song and dance, his jokes were funny enough, and, when they weren't, he could laugh at himself and go on to something that was entertaining w/o undue pain. I will admit I spent more time attending to other things than actually watching the Oscars.

    I liked Seth, he's a nice, smart guy with great humor, I despise politically correct people and he is the epitome of the opposite of that, exactly like his kickass show 'family guy'.

    Hey, I am 65 and I love the guy. So much of demographics. He pushes the envelope and says the things that everyone is thinking but afraid to say. Time for more bashing politcal correctness. This is 2013 not 1876

    What a disappointment! I love Seth, never miss the Family Guy, etc. I think he is a genius. I guess I was expecting too much. It's not that his jokes offended me--I knew what to expect in the area. And he actually has a great singing voice (handsome, too). The show was plain boring. And Shatner, I won't even go there.

    I think that's why Jennifer Lawrence looks smug when they get to her. (Her reaction is priceless.)

    Yeah only a lot of tight-arsed feminists objected to his jokes because they had their sense of humour removed at birth.
