On my first listen I misheard “burns facts” as “burns fat” to make the ash for eye shadow. I thought a bit off for Ms. Wolf, and thought the crowd was reacting to fat-shaming.
One subsequent listens I heard it correctly; definitely not over the line when facts are burnt.
Overall, I liked her performance.
I relistened to it, and I can actually understand someone mishearing that. But at the same time, that line (to me) wouldn’t be an attack on her appearance. Instead it would just be confusing.
I like her comedy. Trying to tease out how much of what people do it an act and how much of it is just them can be very hard with comedians, but it doesn’t really matter if you are just enjoying their performances (rather than, say, deciding whether to marry them).
If someone had only told me this before that disastrous affair with Judy Tenuta…
For some reason the comedian that I was thinking of when I wrote that was Bobcat Goldthwait.
I know nothing of either person’s private life, except that Tenuta was once married to Emo Philips. (Boy, to have been a fly on the wall when one told the other they wanted to leave.)
Spike Milligan taught me. I read ‘Hitler, My Part in His Downfall’ at about the same age, and so learned to swear like an artilleryman. I always wanted to meet him to tell him that, but judging by an anecdote from a friend of mine who did, he’d probably have just told me to fuck off. Still tho.
Breaking News: Mean Lady Hurt My Feelings
(She may have said something about Flint not having clean water too, I don’t know)
Spotted in the Breitbart comment sections, liberal trolls calling out conservatives as Snowflakes.
Spoiler: they don’t like it and want them to stop. And they say this without any irony or self awareness.
Falsetto with a smoker’s rasp?
You should definitely do just that, then come back and discuss because…
That’s not what people are talking about here. They are talking about a specific event. You are derailing.
Now I have an earworm. Thanks.
Already stole!
They threw her partially under the bus.
When I had a television, I watched the awards. Out of a two.five - three-hour show, there is reason to celebrate. This was a small portion of the entertainment.
Not having the thin-skinned President headlining makes a difference.
She was great - I laughed three times.
The reaction was predictably ridiculous.
I can’t see how she got thrown under the bus at all. She used that time in a spotlight heroically, and vastly boosted her career to boot.
Win win, no?
In remarking to the person who claimed she was thrown under, I disagreed.
I agree with you that it was good for Ms Wolf.
Do you understand the metaphor?
From Margaret Talev, President of WHCD:
See for yourself.
Yes, I do see what you’re saying. It’s just that the metaphor doesn’t work for me because she will suffer no injuries of any sort that would parallel those of someone who’s actually been thrown under a bus. As I said, the results for her will basically be the opposite.
Do you understand that?
If anything the WHCA showed their true colors as not being the champions of free speech that they claim to be.
