The2021 Emmy Awardstook place live and in person.

The evening’s host, Cedric The Entertainer, likely knows a thing or two about that.

Those were television gold.

However, they weren’t all winners.

The skit in question saw Cedric release a fly from a container.

The fly delivered a couple jokes; however, it didn’t totally land with the audience.

Twitter noted that it wasn’t anywhere near a timely parody.

USA Today reporter Erik Hall ripped Cedric The Entertainer for the dated jokes.

“Give the #Emmys winners more time to speak & get rid of these,” hetweeted.

Another retweeted a video of someone crying and begging for peace.

“kindly just give us a break,” the video says (viaTwitter).

Another user particularly took issue with the “All Flies Matter” joke (viaTwitter).

Someone else dubbed the joke at least “2 years old” (viaTwitter).

Clearly it was out of date.

But hey, they can’t all be winners, right?
