Jimmy Kimmel thought it was a great idea to bring regular people into the Dolby Theatre during the Academy Awards Sunday night to show them how the other half lives.

The Oscars host ushered in a group of tourists who were on a tour of Hollywood and paraded them around in front of celebrities who were sitting in the first few rows.

Viewers watching at home immediately saw it for what it really was.

I thought it was nice of Hollywood to let the poors touch them and look around inside their party. — Comfortably Smug (@ComfortablySmug) February 27, 2017

Jimmy tried to one up Ellen by bringing in more than one regular person to meet famous people. This was just more annoying. #oscars — Brando (@friesfoodsleep) February 27, 2017

Didn't enjoy the "let's bring in regular people so all us rich people can make fun of them" bit. Why was that decision made? #Oscars — Janet Marie Gunnels (@JanetMarieG) February 27, 2017

These tourists visiting the #Oscars is the most cringe worthy thing ever. — Kitty Kat Holtz (@KatHoltzRadio) February 27, 2017

hey, come on in you nobodies and meet the famous people! — GregGutfeld (@greggutfeld) February 27, 2017

Well that was humiliating. Parade the nobodies in front of the somebodies…#Oscars — Edward Gero (@Edward_Gero) February 27, 2017

Hollywood does a lot of things well but relating to "regular" people is always ultimately cringe-worthy snark — brittrobson (@brittrobson) February 27, 2017

Let's bring in the "regular" people for the elites enjoyment. It was cute, but let's you know how they feel about us. — Matthew Fraser (@MatthewsPicks) February 27, 2017

@KeithLeventhal Those regular people were having a great time! — Karen Springer (@PipNAndy) February 27, 2017

Jimmy Kimmel: Hey wouldn't it be awesome if we had a Normal People Parade at the Oscars to showcase how special we are and normal they are! — Rennie (@rennpasq) February 27, 2017
