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

I can't link Dawn French's latest rant, about Trump, but, if anyone else has seen it, do you find it funny. Or just feel very sorry for her?

Is she pissed perhaps? Maybe her phone needs a breathalyser.

persephoneee · 15/09/2026 09:52

I had a look without sound or captions, I didn't recognise her at all. That's the most interesting bit for me!

Katflapkit · 15/09/2026 09:51

Seriously, someone needs to change the password code and only let her have supervised access to it. It's so embarrassing.

Did she learn nothing from her late night anti-Semitic rant? She took it down was and make an awkward apology saying, she thought everyone was waiting for her to comment on Gaza. As if? Desperate to stay relevant when her time has passed.

Twiglets1 · 15/09/2026 09:47

She isn't funny anymore so is trying to use easy targets for cheap laughs.

Davros · 15/09/2026 09:46

I’ve never liked her “comedy”, it was all fat jokes, often at her own expense but really? Is that all she’s got unless she’s with Jennifer who is far more talented. I think she’s a good actress but nothing special

SmallDFartyCarNRG · 15/09/2026 09:46

I have just got her latest book to read.
I doubt she is saying anything others haven't said about Trump - orange baby, narc, stupid, dangerous. We all know. They voted him in because the other option was a woman. Shock horror!

You think it's ok to make fun of anyone who is incontinent?

Show quote history

No, just Trump. Who became incontinent due to one of the children he was abusing attacking him. Release the Epstein files - its all in there.

NeartoNewquay · 15/09/2026 09:43

I think she's v unfunny these days. And my opinion of her has also been lowered by her driving ban - after yet another speeding offence.

Is that you, Donald? ;-)

Utterlybutter · 15/09/2026 09:42

I think she's having a mental breakdown.

Freysimo · 15/09/2026 09:41

It's not remotely original or funny and I really hope Marks aren't using her for Christmas ads this year.

So her being rude about Trump justifies you being rude about her?

I think it's fine to make fun of Trump.

PrettyLittleRose · 15/09/2026 09:41

I can't stand Trump, but still, this is incredibly unfunny. Normally find Dawn funny and love much of what she has done - including her work with Jennifer Saunders, but this is 0/10 funny for me. Zero comedy/zero funniness.

cauliflowercheesey · 15/09/2026 09:41

Is it actually her? Doesn’t seem like it’s posted on her account?

Maybe she posted it then took it down?

Either way I don’t really have an opinion. I share her psychological assessment of Trump, her impression is not that funny to me, but I’m not offended on his behalf or anything. Why do you care?

Mistachio · 15/09/2026 09:40

Trump is orange and not very bright. Yawn. Does she also make fun of his hair? I couldn’t bring myself to watch it all. She’s embarrassing.

Releasemeplease · 15/09/2026 09:34

Thanks for the link.

I would never have even recognised Dawn French actually.

It's not funny, very strange, and she comes over as someone who has mental health issues

I'm all for calling Trump out but I don't think this is the way to do it.

It's not great, is it? I can't imagine recording it, watching it back and deciding to post it. I wondered if she was drunk.

I think you're unreasonable to take celebrities seriously. They say things to get press and try to be relevant. They are going to say some out of pocket bull 💩

You putting energy into her comments is basically doing the work for her PR team.

Not suprised to hear these kind of remarks as you hate him.

Show quote history

His erratic and bullying behaviour, combined with his enormous power, means a lot of people hate him to be honest.

Imdunfer · 15/09/2026 09:37

nomas · 15/09/2026 09:20

I thought it was funny. The USA has a sitting president who shits his pants on the regular.

Making fun of him is not sad, it's justified.

It’s weirdly difficult to find.

A bit strange but he deserves it and prison

Making fun of him is fine. She just makes herself look stupid in the process.

runnerducky · 15/09/2026 09:23

I don’t have X either but it just opens in browser for me.

It’s just her putting on a baby voice and saying Trump is wearing a nappy and stuff.
