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

And people will comment re her video, which is also fine.

She doesn't owe you humour, she is allowed to make a video without trying to impress you.

Agreed, the baying mob are out for her blood.

Same. Trump is eminently mockable, but Dawn's piece on him is execrable. I actually couldn't get all the way through it, all I could think was 'get to the bloody point woman, if you have one!'. In the end I was too bored to continue watching.

Strangely, I found her meandering delivery rather like his. But it's not because she's using that style to mock him all the more, because it's the same delivery she used in her despicable mewling attack on Israelis.

Mentally, I think it's entirely possible she's demented.

Haven’t seen it but not interested in what the woman has to say since she openly mocked people who were upset by 7th October

Yes, she's certainly allowed to use a baby voice and mockingly disparage and attempt to minimise the slaughter of the 1200 unarmed civilians - babies, girls, boys and families who were raped and murdered by the terrorist organisation Hamas, at a festival during the cease fire which was then in place, all of which was filmed by their rapist terrorist murderers on Go Pros they strapped to their bodies, for fun and entertainment purposes.

We know she is allowed to do this, because she did it.

Nobody suggested it was a crime for her to be such a disgusting piece of filth.

And nobody with an ounce of decency has to be a Trump supporter to write her off, forever, for having done so.

HTH.

Trump is fair game, he's a dangerous vile man. Seeing how he's been treating female journalists recently is abhorrent, intimidating them if they ask questions he doesn't like or want to answer.

I must admit having read this thread I was expecting something awful, but Dawn French has always been a bit more abstract with her characters. I don't personally find her that funny, and this isn't funny, but it's quite far away from a 'mental break down'.

She’s lost the plot. I used to love her in French and Saunders but this is just embarrassing!

Humour is very subjective.

100%.

If he can mock a disabled journalist, people can mock him. He reaps what he sows.

Oops wrong thread

It's not her views on Trump i find unnerving but the delivery is very strange ,reminds me of the videos by Nadia Sawalha, i do think it comes across weird.
I'm wondering if Dawns driving ban has pushed her over the edge mentally...

Why

Why is it up to the left to make a difference? What difference have those on the right made?

It’s been a long time since she was funny or indeed a nice person, maybe she is but it never comes over like that.
I don’t like passive aggressive humour immaterial of who it’s about. It’s certainly not funny.

Indeed. Kept thinking how nice her teeth are 😶 but shame her sense has gone walkabout.
I think Jennifer Saunders was the brains in French & Saunders.

I think you're missing the point. I don't believe anyone has said she can't criticise anyone or indeed make fun of anyone.

It's the way she does it. The silly voice, the exaggerated facial expression, the gurns. Any 'message' is lost in the why the fuck is she speaking and acting like that?? response.

Watch the defense of Andy Burnham's wife, she's unhinged on it. I agree with her message, but the delivery is strange. However my sister is a middle class flag waving wanker and a lot of her friends have development an aggressive, unhinged vibe about them. They are all 65+. It's both left and right who this phenomenon is occurring in.
When Diane Abbott was said to be pissing herself, the comments were thought disgusting, but mocking incontinence, if it's Trump is humour, apparently.

Is he actually incontinent?
Who told the world ?

Also that baby voice reminds me of that time she mocked people who think Hamas committed atrocities on Oct 7th.

She's not doing a TV show, she's doing a message on social media, It doesn't have to be perfect

It's not just not perfect is it though? It's meant to be funny and it's not.

These recent political pronouncements just make her look a bit stupid. She clearly isn't, and I wonder if she's struggling a bit. I think her family should discourage her from doing it. Stick to what you're good at Dawn.

Or, even better, put X down and take the dog for a walk somewhere lovely.

It's indicative of the left's self-congratulatory approach of just virtue signalling rather than actually making an argument and making a difference.

As such I find it more sad than funny, but I don't feel sorry for her; I feel angry at her complacency.

Not anyone. I do think it's OK to make fun of Trump, specifically, being incontinent, though. There's nothing I wouldn't make fun of him for because he's a mad Nazi cunt and wants locking up.

Was she drunk?
