ECCOnoob Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) If a male comedian spoke of the opposite sex like she did he wouldn't work again.shes just like a lot in today's entertainment industry,talentless. Im not sure I would agree with seriously dismissing her as "talentless" Yes, I get we are all entitled to our respecitve opinions as to whether we like her or not but lets be realisitc. Nobody gets paid £6m+ and has a career in the fickle world of showbusiness for nearly 30 years without having some "talent". Personally, she is not my taste either. A very bland but uncontraversial presenter who perfectly fits the bland narrative that BAFTA would want. I also think that the over the top reaction to her jokes was perfectly planned. They knew full well what they were doing. After scandal after scandal involving the male half of the population particuarly in the world of media and arts is anyone really surprised they threw a few barbs. IMO they were damn right too. The recent twitter strom actually makes me laugh. Ah diddums did big bully boy Piers Morgan take offence at being singled out in a joke. Good. Time for him to grow up and take back some of what he dishes out. Now if we are talking percieved "talentless" that's someone I would label with it. He couldn't even keep a career going in the ego filled personality driven world of US news channels. Ultimately, I think its a lot of fuss and criticism over nothing. Lots of totally OTT reaction to her performance with some absolutely venomous and personal points against her. If people really want to see an offensive awards ceremony they should look up Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes or Neil Patrick Harris with his "its not just for gays routine" at the Tony Awards. Many of their jokes seemed to fall flat with lots of awkward reactions and twitter outrage but they are seen as top of their game in comedy. I dont feel this is much different. It really does make me wonder if Piers and his neanderthal brotherhood would be reacting the same if say, Jimmy Carr or Greg Davies had made exactly the same joke.

But Morgan's worth a lot more than 6 million so you're being a little hypocritical there,I don't like him or her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan gets into Twitter battles with many people every single day. Her "organ" joke was mild in comparison and water off a duck's back compared to what he normally gets.

pintor Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 She used to be ok but now like the rest of the gay celebs they flaunt it in your face and dare anyone to decry them or it's like showing the racist card, sorry but its true, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattricia Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 She used to be ok but now like the rest of the gay celebs they flaunt it in your face and dare anyone to decry them or it's like showing the racist card, sorry but its true, I think because they were on the successful show The Great British Bake Off they thought they could go on to do anything but no. Their comedy routine falls flat because they talk too quickly, gabble their words, so spoiling the punch line. At the BAFTAS the audience sat in silence at the end of many of her jokes because they couldn’t understand them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

area 51 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 All modern comedy is unfunny and crap.Comedy seems to consist of a series of foul language with the odd shock comment put in for good measure.The comedy club at the city hall is terrible.i have had more laughs at funerals.I just watch all my old comedy dvds and boxsets from the seventies,eighties and nineties.A bit of black adder,bottom,the goodies,it aint half hot mum,only fools and horses, beats all the modern stuff every time. ---------- Post added 14-06-2018 at 21:19 ---------- Oh and Father Ted,my absolute favourite.
