OP posts:

Made me laugh.
That's the Cath Kidston handbag thrown to the bottom of the cupboard then. Thank you for saving me from that slippery slope!

Have missed the one about the gas engineer Faffalina, but if iirc, the OP's on the other threads were shot down in flames pretty sharpish, thus indicating that the majority of 'us' don't think bratish, over entitled behaviour is okay.

hehe, it's still on here... believe he took a dump in the OP's loo.

I agree with you, though. Most of us MNers are amused / bewildered rather than accepting of those posts.

I thought it was funny - most comedy plays on sterotypes.

fedupofnamechanging · 14/10/2011 21:16

Will look out for it, Faffalina. It sounds like my kind of thread Grin

Faffalina · 14/10/2011 21:18

karma it is entitled AIBU to not want a workman to poo in my toilet, or something similar.

Whatmeworry · 14/10/2011 21:23

I think there is enough material on MN for a routine of double the time of the OP's original - just reading the catsbumfaces on this thread is good enough for another 5 minutes :o

fedupofnamechanging · 14/10/2011 21:37

Faffalina, I have just skimmed through the first 6 pages. Can't believe it has gone on for 12 pages so far. Will have to go back and read the rest later, just so I can discover what new information people can add to a conversation about poo, to make it lastfor 12 pages.

I love this site.

BustersOfDoom · 14/10/2011 21:44

I liked it, thought it was funny.

Nancy66 · 14/10/2011 21:59

Expected it to be shite - but was pleasantly surprised

shuffle over to the feminist section if you want more material

PureBloodMuggle · 14/10/2011 22:01

I thought it was funny enough - not brilliant (but then i don't think she's that brilliant anyway)

Some of the was a bit tried though and parts wouldn't be missed if they weren't there, but over all it was funny, which was a bit odd because there is LOADS on here that could be used!!

The rant was the funniest bit, laughed is canned though isn't (and the bit where she laughed at her own joke and a bit of a 'oh deary me' moment)

CaptainNancy · 14/10/2011 22:30

FFS! It IS pronounced 'Aye-boo'. What kind of fraeks are sitting here reading it as 'Ay, Eye, Bee, You'? Hmm

However I don't think the comedian (Mary?) has lurked on MN in the last 5 years- the demographics have changed here dramatically, particularly since the credit crunch.

rycooler · 14/10/2011 22:33

Hully - I haven't really got a theory on feminists and comedy, ( I wish I had the time to theorize on such trivial matters ) I was just wondering what you liked and what made you laugh, from a feminist perspective that is. - you have good taste btw.

Anyway - I'm off to bed.

bibbitybobbityhat · 14/10/2011 22:34

Very divided opinion here, as you might expect with anything subjective like what is funny or not.

But where is OP?

My estimation of her has gone right out the window due to huge silence from her since 10.30 this morning.

ThePopsicleKat · 14/10/2011 22:35

Also, not sure how much it matters but I've never seen anyone begin an AIBU with "Hi mummies". We all know where that sort of behaviour belongs...

scottishmummy · 14/10/2011 22:44

there are planty funny female comedians.
shappi khorsandi, susan calman etc
youre not so funny. too obvious and contrived

justonemorethread · 14/10/2011 22:46

Robot - just because we are mums doesn't mean that we are untouchable and no-one can make jokes about us. You almost make it sound like we should have some kind of invisible shield and never be satirised. I didn't find it misogynistic at all. I get your jist but really I think you took it all far too seriously.

FunnysInTheGarden · 14/10/2011 22:47

that was naff contrived shit. Obv never visited MN at all. Some parts had the makings of humour, but so so crass. Don't ever play to a MN audience love.

Oh and SM wrote contrived even before I had read your post! Hows you Table Dryer?

NonnoMum · 14/10/2011 22:47

Um - OP - I'm still waiting for the nanny's phone number?

She only need do 6 days a week with me.

FunnysInTheGarden · 14/10/2011 22:48

Pops exactly, has never been on MN. We hate 'mummies' here like the wolf

ThePopsicleKat · 14/10/2011 22:51

We love the wolef, though.

QuintessentialShadyHallows · 14/10/2011 22:52

Wow. That is like me doing a comedy routine on string quartets.

  1. String quartets are not particularly funny.
  2. I have no clue about string quartets.
  3. Granted, I have no comic talent

But that does not seem to stop some....

scottishmummy · 14/10/2011 22:54

i would like shappi and susan calman to be mn folk
funny funny lassies

2rebecca · 14/10/2011 22:55

Agree Scottish mummy. Like Jo Brand and Jo Caulfield as well.

2rebecca · 14/10/2011 22:56

Can't see Jo Brand being remotely arsed to bother with mumsnet though...

scottishmummy · 14/10/2011 22:56

yes both funny.
