“We Saw Your Boobs,” was a musical number that
was performed as the opening skit at this years Academy Awards by Seth
MacFarlane, the creator of “Family Guy”. MacFarlane has built his career on
offensive and silly comedy but I believe that this was a classless act for a sophisticated
award show such as the Oscars. While his comedy has built himself a very
successful career, it was inappropriate humor, being that it was sexist material.
The lyrics of this music number consisted of a list of actresses that have
bared their breasts on film.
Although the act
was witty and catchy, the content of his material was not humor. Humor should
be funny. This musical number simply made fun of the fact that these talented
and serious actresses have bared their breasts to create art and film. For the
women that participated in this act, it was as if they were approving the
musical skit in its entirety. The focus was only on women. There was no mention
of any jokes about any male actors and their nudity.
