Curiousmama · 14/10/2011 10:49

Funny I know a very famous comedienne and was going to suggest she look on here for ideas Grin

Trills · 14/10/2011 10:49

Have you added a fake laughter track?

Not that it's not funny, but the timing seems to be off...

TheTenantOfWildfellHall · 14/10/2011 10:50

Only comedienne if you like to make a distinction between male and female thus suggesting a qualitative difference.

Lifeissweet · 14/10/2011 10:50

Love it. It's great.

MmeLindor. · 14/10/2011 10:51

Is that canned laughter? Can't believe so many blokes are getting it Hmm Either that or they must be really really drunk.

BiscuitNibbler · 14/10/2011 10:52

It made me laugh!

Curiousmama · 14/10/2011 10:53

Trills yes it is off isn't it? It's like they're laughing at something/one else?

fedupofnamechanging · 14/10/2011 10:53

I think you need to spend more time here, because you bought into the stereotype of how the media portrays mumsnetters.

I've been here a while and have yet to hear anyone say that bankers deserve their bonuses, or that it is okay to treat employees badly. As many people dislike the Boden 'type' and take the piss out of it, as subscribe to a 'Bodenesque' lifestyle.

Obviously, you get smug twats everywhere in life, but they are mostly shot down in flames here.

So, my criticism of your performance is primarily that it is inaccurate.

I think you have potential though, if you do your research properly in future.

Byeckersliiiiiiiiiiiiiike · 14/10/2011 10:53

Wait a minute... I genuinely put that because when i clicked the link all i got was a picture of Mary? So i assumed thats what the other reactions were about, several cross posts later, i realised the sound was off, i thoughht it was some wierd trick!

cantspel · 14/10/2011 10:53

It is for the op to describe herself as she views her self and she has defined herself as a comedienne. So who am i to disagree with her.

If she had descibed herself as a comedien then that would also be correct but she is not incorrect in her use of the word comedienne.

chopchopbusybusy · 14/10/2011 10:54

Made me laugh Grin

lovemysleep · 14/10/2011 10:54

hehehe........picked the worst of Mumsnet there! Tickled me and cheered me up - thank-you!

AIBU is definately LONG overdue for having the piss taken out of it.........

EricNorthmansMistress · 14/10/2011 10:54

I thought it was funny too :)

ghoulionine · 14/10/2011 10:54

It did make me laugh!

saying that IMHO there is far more to mumsnet than women complaining about their house help, cars...

You totally forgot to talk about people who will read a fantastic post (such as mineGrin) and instead of looking at the actual content of it will pick at the one word you have spelt incorrectly!

ssd · 14/10/2011 10:54

THOUGHT IT WAS BRILLIANT!

really funny!

Methe · 14/10/2011 10:55

Love it, thanks for posting :)

DodieSmith · 14/10/2011 10:55

I can't believe people like this. It's so banal. Surely you've added a laughter track? 'Fess up.

TheScaryJessie · 14/10/2011 10:55

Ticket sales suddenly increase, as Waitrose shoppers MNers across the country compete to hear what she has to say when she really gets going. Grin

She was spot-on about the nannies, already.
