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?

Dawn French is the person who mocked the victims of Oct 7. Do try to keep up.

The thread is about Dawn French's video on Trump.

And yes French’s mockery for the October 7th genocide of Jewish people and mass rape of of women by Palestinians (let’s call it what it is), is absolutely relevant because she has form for making stupid videos (not sure if this Trump one is a stupid one mind you but it wouldn’t surprise me)

Why are you waiting for me to substantiate a straw man claim I have never made?

Remember "when they go low, we go high"? Here you are advocating for its antithesis.

Again, why is the onus on those on the left to go high?

Can you give examples of these ad homs?

Still waiting to hear which right wing comedians you think give credibility to the right wing cause...

I suggest you stop holding the left to higher standards.

And the attempted ad hominem doesn't even make sense. Why would a Trump supporter be frustrated by the left's self-destruction?

What attempted ad hom? You're one who called me pig headed.

French does have form for mocking and the baby voice though and people will remember that.

I've just refreshed myself on her behaviour in regards to October 7th, and god, it was really fucking awful. I don't know what's made her go off the rails, but it's not pleasant to see, no. I used to enjoy her too - always watched Vicar of Dibley around Christmas.

I suppose at least in this case Trump deserves the mockery - but she still looks like a loon.

Show quote history

I was truly shocked when I watched that video, the one mocking the slaughtered children. I haven't watched her latest debacle, heard about it here, and will never listen to another word she says.

But I will keep reminding anyone I can of what she said, and how she said it, any chance I get. Anytime I am ever online and see her name mentioned, I'll bring it up. Some things are just unforgiveable.

FreshJalapenos · 15/09/2026 13:04

Wow people REALLY want others to STFU when we wanna talk about the extreme harm done to Jews. Weird that.

She will have an audience still for that stuff, some will be cheering it on. Very depressing.

darkling2 · 15/09/2026 12:51

Derailing? Is that something you like to do when the discussion is 1200 raped and slaughtered unarmed Jewish civilians and the shitwit French mocking their planned murder by terrorist animals during a ceasefire?

I don't support Trump. Any other ways you want to drive my point home, or are you done now?

She's embarrassing and makes me cringe.

OtterlyAstounding · 15/09/2026 13:00

darkling2 · 15/09/2026 12:54

It's awful to see. I used to really like her. Or at least, I liked her scriptwriters, it seems.

OtterlyAstounding · 15/09/2026 12:53

Yes, exactly. There's more than enough to criticise about Trump without stooping to looking like a crazy, ranting loon. That only makes the ranting person look bad, and their argument seem weak.

Oh yes! I read about that. She's really not making a good show of herself in recent years, is she?

darkling2 · 15/09/2026 12:40

Yup. She's actually doing Trump a massive favour behaving like this, she seems quite unwell, or extremely stupid, and there is plenty to be said about Trump without resorting to this pitiful excuse for humour.

And due to her previous form for being mockingly disgusting about slaughtered and raped children, nobody with the tiniest bit of commonsense or decency will want to be seen supporting her. Stupid woman.

Just watched it while cringing. I don't like the big orange gobshite but was she pissed?
