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

I seeeee. I’ll pass that onto Dawn.

Old Trump gets wilder but this isn't satire, Dawn. None of your baby-voice 'political' tiktoks are. Saunders is the actual comedy writer.

Does this stuff about Trump being faecally incontinent have any basis in reality? It started with the guy who wrote about The Apprentice, seemingly and circulates gleefully among online anti-trumpers but I don't think it has any authority behind it. It does fit in with a particular anti-Trump mythology about his body and appetites being grotesque though.

I was going to ask, what is TDS? I have googled it and nothing is turning up. (Nothing medical anyway.)

You know that's not a real thing, right?

You miss my point completely.

I managed about ten seconds before deleting. She suffers a bad case of TDS, sadly. I do feel a sense of pity for all who siffer TDS. Get better soon, Dawn.

I fail to see why she would think what she was saying is funny . It was cringe-making .
.

Sorry Dawn, the Woke/Mock Trump thing just isn"t cool any more, especially with the silly voices.

Maybe she doesn't care about being funny, I don't know.

I would rather gouge my eyes out than post a video on social media but some people seem to see it as normal.

That awful baby voice makes me want to scream. There is nothing more aggravating than an adult talking baby talk. It would be like nails down a black board even is she was funny, which she isn't.

Don't you think think if you post a clip like French she should attempt to be funny or at least intelligent?

I could not care less who anyone mocks but when they end up looking more stupid than their target it's a bit of an own goal really.

You ok? You seem a bit stressed out.

Yep. But the man seems impervious to humiliation. Imagine how much better the world would be if Trump had even an ounce of humility? We might have avoided sky high oil prices and interest rates, for a start.

He mocked Iran didn"t he? That is turning out well.

There are people we have never heard off with ten times that following, she has been active in UK showbusiness/comedy for about 50 years FFS.

No, people don't have to accept it.

When someone says things like below as Trump has done, they lose the right to be given consideration for their feelings. Ordinary people with illnesses are smart enough to know it's not about them.

"When you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything." "Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything."

"If Hillary Clinton can't satisfy her husband what makes her think she can satisfy America #MakeAmericaGreatAgain."

"It must be a pretty picture, you dropping to your knees."

"A person who's flat-chested is very hard to be a 10, OK?"

Immigrants "are poisoning the blood of our countries'

She has half a million followers on X alone. Clearly, some people still care what she has to say whether they like her or loathe her. I don’t mind DF usually but one of my biggest pet peeves is adults talking like toddlers so I only managed about 10 seconds of her video before I shuddered and made it go away. She can crack on saying what she likes on her socials (within reason) and people who aren’t interested in giving her attention can scroll on.

Did I laugh at Biden's what?

@Imdunfer

I. Don't. Fucking. Care. What. Trump. Gets. Mocked. For. Because. He. Does. Not. Care. Who. Or. What. He. Mocks. As. Long. As. They. Can't. Fight. Back.

"you are being asked to accept, " No, you are TELLING me that I have to agree with you. I don't. If you mock the disabled, don't be surprised when someone hands the same treatment back to you. If Trump feels the slightest modicum of the humiliation he has so regularly handed out to others, good. It won't change him but I hope it rocks, even for a second, his sense of superiority. I wouldn't do it myself because I am better person that Trump or Dawn French but I don't care when a bully gets a taste of their own medicine.

Mildly funny in a tedious quickly wearing sort of way in the 80"s but downhill ever since with a seeming lack of self awareness about how un-funny the material actually is?

well it's definitely not funny, neither is it clever, and it's most certainly very annoying

Trump's a dick, but yes it's sad that Dawn has lost it.

She still seems to need the media attention, that is the sad bit, her brand of comedy should have been wrapped up and put away in the 1990"s, by all means do a tour or TV show here and there if you can for the fan base but mainstream doesn"t care about you any more, just accept it and do something more meaningful.

Nobody is asking you to defend a bully. You are being asked to accept that one criticism of him, incontinence, is not an issue that should be being mocked.

I don’t think she has. Some people seem to feel compelled to laugh at gobby, overweight women who try to be funny as they think it makes them inclusive.

I loathe Trump but Dawn French simply isn’t funny as she thinks she is. I thought she’d have learnt that the baby voice thing is a bad idea after nearly cancelled after doing the same re October 7th
