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?

Her and Nadia Sawalha have lost the plot, the weird too-up-close videos and the weird voices are very disturbing. I think they're both suffering from a mental illness, I don't understand why the people close to them don't stop them from embarrassing themselves. Hating Jews leads to people progressively becoming more and more unhinged, as we know. Should be studied really.

I think the sort of people who enjoy/are apologists for unarmed civilians and children being slaughtered by terrorist animals during a ceasefire are probably a bit mental anyway, to be honest. Perhaps it's just coming out more as she's getting older. You're right though, somebody close to her should be telling her not to do this - maybe she has nobody close to her anymore due to her awful opinions.

Nobody has to be a Trump fan (I am certainly not) to have written her off forever after her vile, minimising comments after the Oct 7th mass murder at a music festival.

"We did a bad thing" in a baby voice talking about 1200 slaughtered children, teenagers and families. She will never live that down. Not. Ever.

Yes, Dawn, yes, you did a bad thing by airing your vile mockery of dead innocents - and I do wish you would just fade into silent obscurity now.

Can’t bear her these days. As much as I hate Trump, and there’s some great comedy material there, she isn’t funny.

You have written her off forever but immediately clicked the thread when you saw her name.

Ok…dramatic much.

I always think that people who act like this undermine very valid criticisms.

The hyperbole, childishness and petty nastiness makes it seem like they don't have a good point that can stand on its own merits.

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.

Did she say her message was on behalf of the left?

Which comedians on the right have you judged for affecting credibility of those on the right?

Are you trying to parody exactly the pig-headedness I'm describing? If so, good job.

Mischance · Today 12:43

Trump is clearly a pillock, but her comments add nothing useful to the debate ...

You don't seem to have much of a grasp of how comment forums work. No need for the fauxfence and projection.

Drama? Yes, the 1200 children, families and teenagers raped and slaughtered by terrorist animals who wore GoPros for fun and enjoyment was a bit dramatic. And French the shitwit mocking them was, indeed a bit dramatic.

And yes, I have absolutely written her off, forever. As have all decent people.

Commenting on the fact that she mocked 1200 slaughtered children, teenagers and families by saying "we did a bad thing" in a baby voice is part of writing her off, and ensuring that her horrifying behaviour is front and centre on a comment forum that is frequented regularly by tabloids for commentary is part of that too.

How very, very odd indeed that you feel the need to defend her disgusting mockery, in any way.

It is bad. I guess she has an audience for that mockery, depressingly enough.

If you think anyone who disagrees with you is pig headed, I’m not surprised you support Trump.

Fauxfence? Is that a word you’ve made up?

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

NancyThompson · Today 12:51

I suppose at least she's not mocking 7 October 2023 victims this time.

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?

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

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?

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

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.

She's embarrassing and makes me cringe.

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.

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

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