Seth MacFarlane is officially hosting the Oscars. He announced it on youtube with a video he shot with his Dad…it’s not very exciting, but it’s an announcement. At least his dad was funny with the Billy Crystal joke.

Do you think Seth will be a good host?

Here’s his announcement:

So get ready for 3 hours of an early 80s Conway Twitty concert followed by 2 hours of a tedious big chicken fight.

Family Guy SUUUUUUUUCKS. American Dad’s the way to go. And you know why? Because Seth MacFarlane doesn’t write for American Dad.

That said, when Seth MacFarlane sings, I want to throw my panties at him, because it’s so freaking hot.

Yeah, Seth really does have an amazing voice. I hope that is incorporated into the show somehow.

I agree Hypnotoad, I’ve like AD better since it began. I can still find humor in FG, but it’s definitely not as great as it used to be. Hell, Cleveland Show is more consistently funny.

I actually think an extended Conway Twitty concert, followed by a never ending chicken fight would be better than recent Oscars.

Ew. Get ready for four hours of lazy comedy. Seth McFarlane’s whole schtick is “Hey! Remember this pop culture refrence? No, no joke–just–remember it?”

If he can refrain from doing the Family Guy voices then he might do a pretty good job. His recent hosting duties on SNL showed that he has the chops for it.

Some women think that his Brian the Dog voice is sexy and are ashamed to admit it. Because, well, it is a Dog for Gods Sakes! And who the hell would be turned on by that!? Fucking Pervert.
