I'm a comedienne and I've written an entire routine about this forum

[joanjett]

I love this forum so much , I wrote an entire routine about it . Would you like to see / hear it ?

And fwiw its worth op, my au pair is from Poland and she gets half a day off once a month to rest. See. Much nicer. AND I never buy clothes from Boden. VAIR last year. I would like to have myself officially removed from your list of wanton slaughter at appointed day of reckoning time :)

It made me laugh out loud.

The pom bear shit was shit.

Oh dear - Hullly's got some competition and she's jel

Placeholding to watch later.

I think Hully's spot on.

It makes sense to me Hully and that's the main thing

Absolutely fabulous!

The pom bear thread was shite - not funny at all.

Huzzah! Hully and I are on the same page. [hgrin]

All PARDs are off.

Meh....

Not at all offended, given that I dont tick a single box (she didnt mention Le Creuset :o ), but this didnt do it for me. I felt like I should have been laughing but it didnt happen!

I have Aga pans

I have agapanthus no I don't

I think Hully has hit the nail on the head, its the cliche that the Daily Mail et al have bought into and this perpetuates that myth that all MNers are as the OP described them.

Now had she said Netmums she would have been spot on :o [ducks to avoid flying tickers and hugz]

I LOVED it - thank you [hgrin]

Found it very funny. Liked the voicemail thing on the ITV4 clip too. Didn't like the rape joke. Never like those.

There will always be cliches with somewhere are well known and popular as Mumsnet. If the OP did a routine about Pom Bears or naice ham etc the joke is lost, these are 'in' jokes - (I use the term loosely.)

There was material she could have added but sometimes it's healthy to laugh at yourself, why some of you are taking this personally is funnier.

Don't we all stereotype to a certain extent though? I doubt if everyone on Netmums is a stupid and ticker-obsessed as they are portrayed on here. Is all the ranting about netmums sexist too?

I give it 5/10
The over-reliance on stereotype killed it for me but Fair Play for a new source of material in comedy.

I think its good to laugh at yourself and if op is a regular poster then this is what she is doing. I very much doubt that everyone in the audience thinks that Mumsnet is exactly as she describes - people have more sense.

My dh loves Jo Brand (as do I) even though she can be utterly vicious about men.

I enjoyed the clip, and from my shortish time on here i think she has nailed quite a lot of the posters. As can be seen by the responses to this thread, some of you take yourselves WAY too seriously, and are indeed chuffingly condescending. C for effort?! Who the fuck died and made you headmistreess?

Jesus some people on here...

And comedienne is grammatically correct, why the hate?!

What the hell was the pom bear thread?

Actually it's a good clip as far as the sheep and goats goes.
