I was reading more about the Roseanne comments on a post on Reddit. There were a lot of commenters saying it was “sarcasm” she was using comparing Twitter banning election misinformation to Nazis banning Holocaust information. I haven’t heard the whole episode (nor do I think there’s a point, she can hardly string together any half-sensical comment), but one of my favorite descriptions of her rambling was that it’s either “deadpan sarcasm” or “lobotomized hate speech”, and I think that about sums it up.

If only we knew the content of her character

"In Dirty Dancing, Johnny's 1938 birthdate makes him 25 years old. The character initially questions how Baby gained access to a private dancing area"

"Based on a 2017 interview with Grey (via Closer Weekly), it seems that Baby was presumably born in 1946 and is supposed to be 17 years old"

Quotes meaning I saw this somewhere

Really enjoyed this new guest. Hope to hear him on again soon.

And I was so upset when I realized how batshit and hateful Roseanne was in real life because I loved her show. I got hints of it when I had the shoe on DVDs and watched the special features where she basically called the viewers stupid and why was she doing these behind the scenes interviews. Theo clearly wasn’t prepared to deal with her.

Keith is wrong here. And the clip was taken totally out of context.

Roseanne is also an idiot.

Keith · 06-27-2023, 11:19 PM

Say the context. I dare anyone can. Don’t tell me to listen to more minutes before or after. I have.

Just tell us. Please.

Nice try, Roseanne!

Geoffrey was great fun! He sounded like he was a KATG veteran already, so comfortable. Do have him on more!
