I don’t know if this is funny or just accurate - the link is a video spoof of a male “feminist” on a date. Anyway a lighthearted bit for NYE.

Ooof! That's close to the bone. But brilliant. I imagine half the Guardian's male readership would be like that on a date.

CaraDuneRedux · 31/12/2020 20:00

Just googled him - he's Ian Hislop's son!

Why, oh why, does MN not have a crying with laughter emoji? The apple definitely hasn't fallen far from the tree for this family. More of this, please, sir!

A shrewd observer of some of his fellow men - and women's responses. Good lad.Grin

That's brilliant - right on the mark. Love the facial expressions

Another brilliant one here

Too good 🤣

Excellent!

VoleClock · 31/12/2020 22:16

well, nice to end the year on a laugh.

Have you seen the skits about his Aunt. Seemed like more “Karen” bashing to me.

I did see one - more in common with Les Dawson than the crude Karen-bashers, I thought.

GrinWatching the date sketch reminded me of what a male relative was like a couple of years ago. Thankfully, he's grown up since.

WarOnWomen · 01/01/2021 10:18

BTW, male relative said that he was a feminist and not five minutes later said he couldn't find a woman on the same high level as him. Hmm No self awareness there at all. I still tease him relentlessly about that.

Campervan69 · 01/01/2021 10:37

He seems to have a lot about his aunt, she thinks all lives matter and won't wear a mask apparently. Not so sure about him tbh.

TiersDryOnTheirOwn · 01/01/2021 12:07

I was a bit worried if I scrolled back I’d probably find something anti JKR/TERF/Karen so I admit I didn’t look.

I didn’t realise he was Ian Hislop’s son either.

Haven't seen any of that but the comments to his aunt videos seem to suggest that he is trying to be the epitome of a Karen.... They are a bit weird in that there is no sound to them just subtitles am not sure what that's about.

With him being young and woke and retweeting The Guilty Feminist, I guess he will be playing to the TWAW crowd.

ErrolTheDragon · 01/01/2021 13:15

Maybe. However, I don't think it's necessarily bad if some woke blokes watch those 'aunt' parodies... and next up he's skewering them.

TiersDryOnTheirOwn · 01/01/2021 16:17

That’s a good point Errol.

Love it.

HecatesCats · 01/01/2021 16:22

I also think he's on the right track with his male feminist sketch and he may well get there himself eventually.

ErrolTheDragon · 01/01/2021 16:26

They are a bit weird in that there is no sound to them just subtitles am not sure what that's about.

Maybe it's a way of avoiding the sort of squawky 'women's' voices adopted by eg Monty Python , and perhaps taking a cue from Les Dawson whose 'gossiping neighbour' character would often inaudibly mouth a lot?

Helmetbymidnight · 01/01/2021 16:32

He's funny,

Deborah is funny too but she is a real TWAW crusader. Hates 'terfs'.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 01/01/2021 18:17

There’s some great stuff on there- he’s very funny.
I hated the aunt ones, not the content but the simpering way he does femininity. I think if they were delivered by a female comic they would be fine but as he does them they are womanface in the most offensive way even without costumes and make up - not cool.

TiersDryOnTheirOwn · 02/01/2021 10:01

I know Helmet I used to like Deborah and TGF until I discovered that.
