Oscars 2013: Is Seth MacFarlane the worst host ever?

Seth MacFarlane who started off as Oscars host so confidently, has been looking increasingly uncomfortable. Perhaps he has been going through his Twitter feed? The writer, director and actor, who is probably best known for creating the hit tv series Family Guy, MacFarlane has been getting completely panned on Twitter for a lame sense of humour, awkward jokes and stiff stage presence.  It’s like he’s trying to do the sweet-faced boy with a potty mouth, a male equivalent of Sarah Silverman. It isn’t working because he’s genuinely too bland. [caption id=“attachment_638032” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  Host Seth MacFarlane speaks onstage at the 85th Annual Academy Awards on Monday. AFP[/caption] Macfarlane is completely bombing and Twitter is mincing no words in telling him exactly that. “Our next presenter played a raging alcoholic in 28 Days,” announces Seth MacFarlane. “Which is quite a coincidence because I’m going to be playing one in about one-hour and 40-minutes .” Given the reviews he is getting, Seth is not joking. He’s going to need that drink Here are some of the tweets: Page Six ✔ @PageSix Drinking Game? Every time Seth MacFarlane makes an awkward joke #Oscars Caitlin Kelly @atotalmonet I want to punch Seth Macfarlane in the face. Repeatedly. I’ll be starting a Kickstarter campaign shortly. Help me live my dream.

Hari Kondabolu ‏@harikondabolu Seth MacFarlane made fun of Salma Hayek’s accent, but many of us are going to sound silly when we need to speak Spanish in 30 years. #Oscars S. Mitra Kalita ‏@mitrakalita Wow this host wins the dumb white guy of the century award. He didn’t get the new-america-demographic memo, circa 2012 election?
