Buckle up,softcore movies folks – 2018's first flurry of angry one-star Amazon reviews is already underway.
The streaming giant decided to get in on the Rose Parade this year, working with Funny or Die to present a live broadcast of the annual event for Amazon Prime.
SEE ALSO: Lin-Manuel Miranda's tender New Year's message made the holiday a little less horribleWill Ferrell and Molly Shannon hosted the stream as "Cord Hosenbeck" and "Tish Cattigan," with an assist from fellow SNLalum Tim Meadows. While that sounds like a lot of great comedic talent, a lot of Prime members weren't laughing.
Of the more than 2,000 reviews of the event on Amazon, about half (46% as of writing) gave the broadcast one star. And a lot of those came from people who either didn't realize the commentary was meant to be satirical, or from people who did realize it but felt the Rose Parade was no place for such goofy shenanigans.
