Comedian Rosie Jones shocks viewers with ‘disgusting’ and ‘totally inappropriate’ Greta Thunberg joke

[Jingthing]

The comedic element in this is that Greta has been attacked by the right wing and climate crisis denialists with sexist and ageist morality attacks. She should be in school. She's a rich girl and she lectures us. Attacks on her medical condition. Sometimes in at least sort of a comedic manner as from the U.S. president.

 

This comedian turned that on it's head. The trouble with Greta is she isn't a normal drug using sexually active teenager. There is humor in that but I'm not very impressed with the style of the delivery. I think different comedians could deliver similar material in a different way and get more laughs. But at this point Rosie Jones owns this joke.

Are you saying Greta has a medical condition?  I'm not getting that.  Whatever.  I'm not going to be her white knight.  Yeah she is only 16.  But she chose the limelight and her "how dare you" moment to the entire world kind of makes her open to counter attack.  

 

I must admit the whole idea of a comedienne that can't be understood or takes that long to deliver the punch lines eludes me.  And I LIKE Bristish humor.

I don't get he joke either.  But I believe fingered means her first romance/boyfriend (or girlfriend this is the 20s) sticks their fingers in her to attempt to seduce her.  All part of the adolescent sexual exploration period.

The joke was : Instead of campaigning against climate change , she should be drinking alcohol and having other people putting their fingers into her vagina .

  Dont all laugh at once 

[canuckamuck]

Why can't she do it all?

Seriously though, this is all about the creation of Greta as some kind of saint and salvador for humanity. A new virgin Mary.

The left would be laughing at the joke if the girl was representing a group they have less respect for.

Don't know about that, but she does need a good <deleted>-smacking. Maybe keep her of the Smarties and fizzy drinks for a month too.

Is she an American comedian where it´s not allowed to sell alcohol at people below 21? 

 

Would she tell this to her daughter too? 

 

Why does she know that the girl doesn´t become fingered and drink alcohol?

American a comedian, that's an oxymoron statement.

You tell it so funny. Where can I catch your next set? 

[JonnyF]

That's the thing about comedy, what is funny to one person is not funny to another.

 

I didn't find it funny, but neither did I find it offensive. The age of consent in the UK is 16, in Sweden where Greta hails from, it is 15. Greta is now 17 years old (today actually, just googled it to check) so the 'mock outrage' shown by the usual virtue signalers doesn't really work. They really need to find something else to be outraged, shocked and disgusted by. Shouldn't take long, since they're always on the lookout.

Check out Frankie Boyle, Scottish guy.

[spidermike007]

It is simply comedy. People are so thin skinned these days. That is not offensive. It is funny, and age appropriate. Most 16 year olds around the world are sexually active these days. Big deal. Get over yourselves please. Comedy is supposed to be offensive. The PC crew is so over the top, and take themselves way too seriously. 

[spiekerjozef]

I think she's right.

One more year and she will be more interested in boys instead of climate change.

Dont know who this comedian is, but like much of comedy, sarcasm, satire and irony, there is a truth beyond the obvious words.

 

Don't forget, Swift advocated for the Irish to eat their own babies. Outrage sometimes is the best way to attract attention to a subject. So maybe folks are saying, hey wait, what is this girl doing.

 

So with apologies to St. Greta, what in her life insulates her from being the target of barbs? What is "untrue" about the comdians statements, arent many teenage girls  out drinking and having sex at 16  instead of promoting herself as the symbol of a "movement"? What did you do at 16? Me, Im a dude, but I drank and had sex. I went to protests so I could smoke weed and pick up girls who thought that Che shirts were cool....to have sex.

 

Too many snowflakes, too much outrage. Its words dude. Words.

If my memory serves me correctly, you did mention a daughter. Would you feel the same way about someone suggesting fingering her when she was 16?

Comedians always take the <deleted> out of people !  Its funny and thats their job, to make us laugh.  Its only a problem when people take it personally in this stupid "politically correct" world where you mustn't say anything bad about anyone cos it will hurt their feelings. Their is still millions of people at war and starving in poverty. This should be a greater issue to pay attention too. As for that idiot Greta she should shut up and learn something at school before getting political. Is the world supposed to listen to loud mouth kids now ? We have enough loud mouth adults that we ignore !!

Difference. The brat was a private person. Ms Thunberg is not. If I can hold up a severed head of Donald Trump and call that comedy, so can I suggest that some holier than thou teenager indulge in teenage activities.

 

Fuurthermore, I dont read what this 2nd rate comic said as "suggesting someone" finger her. So I guess the answer is if someone walked up to me and suggested he wanted to finger her, Id probably call the cops. But thats not what we are talking about here, I commend you for your usual shallow analysis and hyperbolic points, thats why I love ya as a brother.....

 I was as horny as a two-peckered owl in my teens; however, there were certain lines I wouldn't cross. You're saying anyone with celebrity status is fair game for any smutty so-called comedian/comedienne, no matter how young and vulnerable the subject may be, and I'm shallow? Yeah right.

Perhaps I'm too old, and belong to an age where there was respect for women - of any age.

I did my best to raise my brat like a dude, or at least to give her as many dude qualities as is possible to help her survive the upcoming apocalypse. Basically  teaching her to have a set of hairy bolshii balls. It Worked. Like I have said before, her only rules were not to get knocked up, not to lose her scholarship, and not to get arrested. Winner. My birds and bees talk was "dude,they are gonna lie to you to try to get down your pants, if YOU decide to fall for their bs, make sure its wrapped". 

 

I think there is a qualitiative difference between making smutty analogies to a celeb who just sings and dances, and a political celeb who uses her youth as a cudgel to shame folks into a Brave Green World that entails destruction of folks way of life and the concept of freedom..

[SteveK]

I don't see what's so shocking, it's a joke for christ's sake. People these days like to pretend to be shocked and appalled at the slightest thing. I believe they call it virtue signalling, it's a full time hobby for many people.
