AIBU to find Dawn French's latest Trump comments more sad than funny?

Oh I see 😂

Yes I do think she’s hilarious, mostly as a writer and I still LOL at French and Saunders sketches.

She isn"t funny though, and obviously isn"t going to get many votes for her take on the world?

Sorry, second line. I"m a clown, I amuse you?

This.

Not funny at all.massive cringe.

Comedians should stick to being funny instead of trying to get involved in politics. It usually works about as well as when politicians try to be funny.

So cringe and about as funny as syphilis. Surely this kind "edgy" slapstick humour is about ten years out of date, does she think she's saying something original. She just sounds a bit thick and desperate but I guess she's playing to her audience...

Except she has used the baby voice before, to mock Hamas’ victims.

She's just an over privileged celeb like Margolyes who has had people simping and fawning over her for years. She thinks she's funny. Let's hope someone will tell her to stop as it's utterly cringeworthy.

In this and other recent reels she seems to me like someone who is very deeply unwell. I hope she has good people looking out for her.

I never thought she was funny and struggled to understand how she managed to have a career in comedy. Because of the BBC I guess.

No no we got that she mimicking him as she said mumyyyy and daddyyy pretending to be baby Trump <cutted up pear was never funny fwiw>.

The point is it wasn't funny and comedians should really try to be quick witted and entertaining or else they make tits of themselves as demonstrated perfectly by French.

Derailing is repeating posts about a different subject, using the same lines over and over

French on Trump. Fuck all
to do with Hamas or go pros

This

she's clearly speaking AS him, as the vile infant that he is.

old Mumsnet would have got this straight away (cutted up pear)

i thought it was apt, and I say that as someone with absolutely no time for dawn French

Thank you!

Besides the fact that no one knows if it's true, there is a treasure trove of things he has done of comedic value that making up something is just strange.

Every President has had a book of gaffs, mistakes, offenses, but President Trump is starting to get an encyclopedia built up. "His ego exceeds the limits of his intelligence", which is basically what I say about every politician.

If one looks a bit, I don't think there has been too many Presidents, if any, in the last 90 years or so without a bucketful of crap on their heads. Probably back much father than that, but most citizens were not as aware as they became after the invention of telecommunication, radio, TV.

Agree with people saying it’s not cool to laugh at people’s disabilities whoever that person is. Pick something else to mock them for, something they can help like their personality.

At his wandering off, not knowing what he was talking about, his incontinence, his dementia?

I guess we all are different because I just feel sad for both of them. They both may be jerks but aging and the issues it comes with, including Biden's cancer and its issues is just not funny nor justified because I may think "they deserve it".

“So I’ve just seen the video”??

No, not trying to be funny? Just making a statement. Was it funny? I don’t get the joke if so.

I assume you are trying to be funny with your first line?

So I’ve just seen the video.

What a shame that one of the world funniest female comedians has apparently lost the plot and become so very unfunny. aside from the fact that a woman who seriously downplayed and mocked 1,200 Jews being killed and more being kidnapped and raped, all by Palestinians (with the compelling pro-Pal, nuanced a unmatched argument of “No!” 🙄) is still making weird videos, I think I’m mostly offended by how unfunny it is. Trump is the world easiest target for comedians, and this was the best she could do? I know it harks back to her 80’s sketches but even in that context it’s just not funny.

I believe she started popping up on "The Comic Strip Presents", around "82 or "83, maybe she wrote some of that stuff I don"t know? It was mildly amusing on a wet early 80"s night with a couple of cans I suppose but not earth shattering, and there were no signs of burning talent that would shine on even during the internet age when social media is rammed with people with "talent", back then the BBC decided who was going to be famous, now it is a different world but if you were known back then you are always going to get views online, and then I suppose it is up to the "star" what kind of content they choose to feed to those viewers?
Some try to give their views on now in a sensible truthful way and want to break away from the old image, some seem to think they are auditioning and there is still a major TV contract out there for them, DF seems to post consistently ridiculous trying too hard to be hip not as smart as it thinks "comedy", maybe time to hang up the web cam for a while and just be grateful you were all over the telly when that sort of thing meant something?

I'm from that era ! There were only three channels till the 80s.

I agree with what you're saying . Dawn French is still stuck there ! She needs to either quit that type of 'comedy' or update it, which she would probably be unable to do.

She looks and sounds like an old woman with dementia.

She was on telly for about 40 years when the public were stuck with 4 or 5 channels, the reality filters broke years ago. The problem for stars of that era, and the likes of Harry and Meghan, is that there are millions of people who can tell jokes and make presentable podcasts etc. now that the Means of Production is in everyone"s hands, a lot of people who "made it" back in the day or were born into fame don"t necessarily have the talent to be noticed or to make much of a splash in the digital age.

Why would she post it if she didn't think it was funny though, it makes no sense.

I hope she has someone irl who might advise her to keep clips to close friends only going forward. It seems cruel to ridicule someone making such a massive arse of herself yet she's put it out there.

Trump Derangement Syndrome. MAGA creeps made it up.

Anytime someone mocks, calls out, or shows any normal negative reaction to Trump, they have TDS. It's rather pathetic.
