Tyler the Creator came under some serious fire recently after an ad campaign he created for Mountain Dew was viewed as racist and sexist by critics. Well now the controversial rapper is speaking out about the commercial and says the whole thing was blown WAY out of proportion!

Most notably, Syracuse University Professor Boyce Watkins called it "arguably the most racist commercial in history." But Tyler just does't understand where he's getting that idea, saying:

At this point, Tyler the Creator's name has essentially become synonymous with controversy.

The foul-mouthed rapper and his buddies from Odd Future have teamed up to put together an ad campaign for Mountain Dew, and the commercials are already being deemed both racist and sexist.

For some reason, we're not surprised considering both of those subjects seem to be common themes in his music.

The ads come in three parts, the first of which shows a goat beating on a female waitress after a Mountain Dew-enduced frenzy. But the clip that's drawing all of the criticism is the bizarre conclusion which shows the bruised and battered woman attempting to pick the culprit out of a police line-up.

The other suspects (who are played by Odd Future members) are all black, and while the attacker is an animal, he spits

It's an intimidating feat to play host to the BIGGEST event in Hollywood, so we understand that Seth MacFarlane was nervous…

But his nerves are no excuse for some of the tactless jokes he was telling during last night's Oscars!

Seth's painfully long, self-obsessed monologue (above) was solely about him worrying about being a bad host — a self fulfilling prophecy, perhaps? — and included an entire song about seeing boobs, which Seth concluded with a "no-homo" joke.

The rest of the night consisted of one inappropriate joke after the other.

HOWEVER, we will say this: anyone who has ever seen Family Guy, American Dad, or The Cleveland Show knows that Seth stayed true to the comedic format that's made him famous.

All of his popular cartoons feature MAJORLY offensive jokes, and while some gags can go too far, the whole point of the shows (to us at least) is to poke fun at people and push the comfort zone of viewers.

But obviously, that type of comedy did NOT work for the Oscars.

We also find it rather funny that the Academy even asked Seth to host — have they seen Family Guy? He's been SO nasty to almost every celeb in that audience!

William Shatner is just one of a few celebs who did a Reddit 'AMA' (Ask Me Anything) and decided to stick around.

What he found, though, he didn't particularly like. He stays to try and change it.

When he says he's disappointed in the kind of community they have, he's talking about the willingness to look past racist, homophobic, and sexist content that's there… just because it can be. Mainly, he's asking why anyone would, just because that option is open.

Here's what he thinks:

When you think of a Go Daddy commercial, what's the first thing that comes to mind??

If you said anything other than boobs you lose.

What's confusing is their newest commercial for the 2013 Super Bowl is actually pretty tame.

Like waaaaay tame compared to their other commercial where they force Danica Patrick to get naked and do funny stuff.

People obviously loved those, mainly because she's totes gorgeous, but lots of people also found them sexist and just too racy.

So we guess Go Daddy has finally listened to the people and made a commercial that's still funny, just without the boobage!

Check out the video (above) and see the new commercial for yourself!

The New York Knicks were trying to be funny by putting up posters aimed at getting guys to watch games instead of going out on the weekends.

The posters, meant as a joke, ended up backfiring when people saw how sexist they were.

I'm not saying she a gold digger, but she ain't messing with no broke…medals!

After Team USA's female athletes took home two-thirds of the squad's gold medals at the Olympics, Nike wanted to honor the women with a t-shirt that reads 'Gold Digging' in big shiny gold letters.

Ugh.
