If your ungrateful kids have never had a job, isn't that your fault?
slightskew
Why does the death rattle of Boomer culture have to be so god damn loud
amanmadeofsalt
She's pandering to the same people that 20 years ago hated her because she was fat.
StabbyMcMurder
Why the blonde pigtails though? I get that she's trying to appeal to Matt gaetz with that do but it's not gonna fix her face :/
itsjustplaid
Crazy hate, punching down. Also, if all five of your kids are privileged ingrates who don't work, there might be a common denominator there.
BeetBoxer
For anyone LGBTQ that hasn't heard it anywhere else today, this internet stranger thinks you have value simply because you're being you.
BBQatCirces
You know, I'm starting to suspect that the racist shit she said that led to her getting fired wasn't cause by her Ambien at all...
threenotch23
She was the only one in that sitcom that wasn’t the least bit funny but they named the show for HER??? Makes no sense!!!
just4thelolz
I somehow stopped caring about what that woman does and says even though I never cared in the first place. This shouldn't be possible.
PlasticFicus
Did they tell her to dress like a little girl or was that Gaetz's idea?
autocorrectfailures
Get a job? *Stares at record low unemployment numbers*
JoshuaHarazin
*Also looks at the 7 year gap in Roseanne's IMDB profile*
kylepayton1360
We need Tom Arnold to take another one for the team
DYLANLEE79
Way to prove they were right to fire you.
tygerpsimatrix
Probably pissed off they got Laurie Metcalf back for 'The Connors' and not her.
RetrogradeLlama
Another MAGAtt shithead. Let them stew in their own nauseating glory.
Bhargo
I dont understand complaining about your kids being lazy and entitled, like ok, so you are complaining that you were a bad parent?
Hammertulski
That's, and I cannot stress this second part enough, gross.
conniecpu
Boomers complaining about kids being in a bubble is so fucking funny to me. If it were true, who do you think created that bubble? ?
Roehcai
Young boomers (?) : "I want my kids to have a better life than I did." Boomers now: "I'm so angry my kids have/had anything good or easy."
Bhargo
"you live in a bubble!" she shouted from the safety of her rightwing echo chamber
deadtedw
By bitching about how shitty the kids were raised, she's not insulting the kids. She's an idiot.
conniecpu
Same with "participation trophies". Which generation were the adults handing them out from again?
JS87
Boomers, “Get a job!” Millennials working for 20 years, “…okay???”
Anonymouse64
You ever noticed how TERFs always define womanhood as being something as disgusting and demeaning as possible?
ps238principal
For more anti-funny, search YouTube for Fox's Half-Hour News Hour. The cringe is intense.

I saw the Super Bowl ad and was like
technofiend
Wait, Rosanne Barr is still around and Raquel Welch is gone? Death, you had ONE JOB. ONE JOB.
justworkdamnyou
I mean technically Death is doing the one job. Just not in an order anyone wants
coffeebrine
It's like a brain rot that erodes away whatever good or insightful creative or comedic instinct you might have had.
Jackpot7777777
Oh, look children. It's a falling star! Make a wish!!
thereitis101
That joke got Eddie Murphy to boycott the show for years.
SJohnson23
And as a result David Spade never had to buy a drink when around any SNL staffer again.
thereitis101
Why?
Targe0
Eddie's got a bit of an ego problem.
SJohnson23
In the same way that the Atlantic Ocean has a bit of an issue with damp.
ILoveJimmyFallon
I didn't know has-beens could get canceled...
JoshuaHarazin
They can't, but they can become a "victim" of capitalism and blame others for it.
BastardMan1977
Roseanne please die already and leave the rest of us alone
puffyjacket69
*boomers
Andersen81
Maybe not die, but permanent retirement would be a good idea, and she can take kevin sorbo with her to an off the grid island somewhere.

I want spaghetti now
IhopeyougetstageIIIcoloncancer
Slurp these noodles, for they are my body... chug this marinara, for it is my blood...
RetrogradeLlama
She doesn't need to die. Bad Karma, dude. She just needs to STFU until she gets deprogrammed (unlikely on either count).
DerpMeister
Zero chance for a successful deprogramming at that age.
slinkydust
It's not comedy if you're punching down.
BeetBoxer
It's also not comedy without any jokes.
JCBalance
You can punch wherever you want if you make the joke funny. You can make trans jokes if the target is that the actual bigotry is stupid.
boccs
Which means you're not punching *down.* Of course you can make trans jokes. Trans people tell a hundred a day.
sophiadalke
Trans jokes by trans people are actually funny, even when they're raw, because we actually know what we're fucking talking about
FinancialRavioli
The far right doesn't understand comedy.
Comet260
There's not much the far right understands.
miked854
Not one mention that the original Roseanne bent over backwards to include gay portrayals because Barr's sister is a lesbian. 1/2
thereitis101
The giveaway is that she “rebranded” herself. It’s a schtick built of constant rage to a specific audience.
miked854
She even got in trouble for having a homosexual kiss on her show between herself and a woman. I'm pretty sure there was a trans 2/3
Canofminus
She also had a gay couple regularly on her show, and had a big gay halloween party.
VISMAL
Didn’t Jackie end up gay in the later seasons ?
Canofminus
Roseanne’s mom, but that was undone and made to be Jackie in the finally.
miked854
Background character. Not a lot of distinguishing between trans, drag, and criss dressing back then though. 3/3
Iblamemyparentstoo
You can thank her writers for that but when she speaks on those issues herself she's a hateful, ignorant racist bigot
miked854
I don't think that was all writers. She was the star, creator a producer for most of the seasons and again, *her sister is gay.*
Iblamemyparentstoo
And again, she got fired fir saying disgusting racist shit and that's probably not the first time she did that, but the one she got fired fo
JemIsTrulyOutrageous
This. She liked seeming like a progressive beacon til what was ok then became bare minimum. The world moved on, she didn't progress with it.
JemIsTrulyOutrageous
Note a LOT of older comedians focus on what they "can't" say anymore, but we've always been adapting forward, their material just..didn't.
Rogahar
The show was also written by a lot of people other than just her. This is her on her own, no filter or editors.
flarflarf
yeah the original roseanne show was cool and good. Sad to see what she's become.
flarflarf
roseanne show used to be sorta kind and empathetic and the kind of show about blue collar people i was happy to know existed. Sad to see
flarflarf
her go so far off the deep end in the past years. Go home Roseanne, you forgot to take your pills or something.
flamingflamingo
I dunno I rewatched it about 8 years ago and it kind of just made me depressed. The family was always struggling, always unhappy.
SewerRanger
They were never unhappy but they always did struggle. Growing up poor, it was the only show on tv that felt real and showed that struggle
SewerRanger
to me. It was an amazingly realistic portrayal of working poor life that's never been done since
flamingflamingo
It was realistic. I think that's why I found it depressing. Too close to home.
digitreal
Rosanne is a snowflake who is triggered way too often by things that never actually affect her life.
dirrrtypiratehookerrr
She's a person with legit brain issues: hit by a car when she was a teen and she said she's been crazy ever since... just loves the drama.
wisher1977
She wasn’t funny then and isn’t funny now.
ThatSonOfaBitch
So, she's a conservative? You could have just said that.
HandoB4Javert
RogueKitsune
......what.

In case you hadn't heard, the USA has an alarmingly large number of very vocal religious nut-cases.
