They "Ruined" the Rose Bowl Parade
By Mary Booth

You know something's amiss when the hosts of the Rose Bowl Parade describe the OU band, saying "Norman Oklahoma is a small town where the cows are smarter than the people".
And it got worse from there. Or funnier, depending on whether you recognized the parade hosts, Cord Hosenbeck and Tish Cattigan... aka Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon.
If you’re not watching the #RoseParade2018 then what the heck are ya doing!? Watch now at: https://t.co/H1ZVYibkEv

Pasadena is Spanish for “Pass the dinner,” right @rosettastone? #CordandTish

The Los Angeles PD Bagpipe and Drum Band is magnificent! Personally I think the @LAPDHQ should replace all of it’s squad car sirens with the haunting melody of the bagpipe. #CordandTish

Amazon Prime pulled this giant stunt and angered viewers who DIDN'T recognize the comedians...
#AmazonPrime whatever you were smoking when you thought #CordandTish was a good idea......it wasn't. They're rude, disgusting and quite frankly insulting to most of the parade participants. #getsomeonenew #roseparadedeservesbetter

Someone please tell Cord Hosenbeck to stop trying to be funny! He is obnoxious and ruining the Rose Bowl Parade experience for Amazon prime watchers!

Others totally got the joke--
First in a long time that I enjoyed watching Rose Bowl Parade on TV. #CordandTish were freaking hilarious!!! The Amazon Prime reviews were hilarious. I guess they didn't know it was satire. Can't wait for 1/1/2019!

(Side note: The show got more than 1400 one-star reviews, complaining that the hosts ruined the parade)

I never want to watch another parade if it's not hosted by #CordandTish. This has struck the perfect balance of subtle absurdity and total outlandishness. #RoseParade #SNL pic.twitter.com/Uj4cTO5pj1
The Rose Parade was always boring as paint drying... But today with Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon hosting it as Cord Hosenbeck and Tish Cattigan is everything you think it is! Two brilliant improv actors riffing for 2 hours! Thank you Amazon Prime Video. pic.twitter.com/lYMLJZnbN8

Here's more, because you know you want it. Or at least you think you do. You might. Anyway, here it is--
You heard @CordHosenbeck right! See @TheGrandTour float, winner of the Crown City Innovator Award for the best use of imagination, innovation and technology. Stream the entire #RoseParade all day on Prime Video. https://t.co/MNQQMApi1y pic.twitter.com/OLodLetv2C
