“‘Get rid of Kimmel and replace him with another washed-up but cheap ABC “talent” George Slopanopolous,” he continued. “Blah blah blah, Make America Great Again.”
He gave the previous president a little jab before continuing.
“Thank you for watching. I’m surprised… isn’t it past your jail time?” he joked.
Due to the excitement about Kimmel, early Oscar viewing was higher than in previous years. However, following a highly panned beginning that featured a lot of cheesy jokes, attention quickly declined. A lot of people thought his performance was boring, too long, and unfunny.
Kimmel joked that the “Iron Man” star had arrived at the “highest point in his career” by drawing a comparison between the dog and Robert Downey, Jr.
ALERT! Major Water Restrictions In Effect!
“20 years ago, Robert played the villain, and correct me if I have this wrong, in a movie where Tim Allen turns into a dog, right? And if you ever decide to remake that film, I have just the guy to play Tim Allen. That is — where is he? Messi,” As the puppy was seen on television, Kimmel said. “Even though he’s a dog, may have given the performance of the year in ‘Anatomy of a Fall.’ He has an overdose scene. I haven’t seen a French actor each vomit like that since Gérard Depardieu.”
A painfully accurate comparison to a boring stand-up act reminiscent to Spongebob Squarepants was made by another commenter.
One user said, “Jimmy Kimmel comedy is like waiting in line at a government agency.”
“Somebody get Jimmy Kimmel off that stage,” said another.
Some performances that evening, including a nude John Cena, drew criticism for what was seen as the Oscars’ overcompensation in the wake of years of dwindling viewership and calls for more diversity in the field of contenders. Prior to the event, advertisers lowered rates since they expected the program’s returns to drop with each year that went by.
