Things got unfunny quick at the MTV Movie Awards Sunday night.
During a sketch along with the cast of “Mike and Dave Reason Wedding Dates,” Anna Kendrick joked concerning finding her co-stars Zac Efron and Adam DeVine dates for the award show.
“I scoured every dating site readily available — Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, JDate, Craigslist, Angie’s List — to discover Adam and Zac a couple of dates for tonight’s show,” Kendrick said. “I decided on out 4 potential dates for these guys and I’m visiting permit you, the audience, decide on both winners. Let’s delivering out our lucky girls!”
After Kendrick’s announcement, 4 girls along with prosthetic pregnant bellies walked out onstage. 3 of the girls sported different mismatched outfits showing off their stomachs, while one girl was dressed in an orange jailhouse jumpsuit. The just guy accompanying the girls was putting on a white tank top, gold chain and backward hat.
“OK, these are not the girls I decided on for the MTV date contest,” Kendrick said.
“No ma’am, we’re below to audition for ’16 and Pregnant,'” among the girls said in a Southern drawl while smacking about gum, as one more whooped and cheered.
Out of all of the networks to make a “joke” concerning teen pregnancy and the prove to “16 and Pregnant,” MTV ought to understand better. After all, the network began airing the “documentary series” in 2009, tracking the lives of pregnant teens as they faced countless hurdles in their lives.
“Per story supplies a one-of-a-kind look in to the wide number of obstacles pregnant teens face: marriage, adoption, religion, gossip, finances, rumors among the community, graduating higher school, obtaining (or losing) a job,” reads the synopsis of “16 and Pregnant.” “Faced along with extremely adult decisions, these girls are obliged to sacrifice their teenage years and their higher school experiences.”
But apparently, if you’re MTV, airing the prove to offers you license to make enjoyable of the girls at your very own award prove to and decrease them all of to white trash stereotypes. A few members of “16 and Pregnant” and “Teen Mom” were in the audience and we’re wondering exactly how they feel concerning the sketch ideal concerning now.
