Not even joking, she genuinely sounds like my husband's grandma, who is perpetually drunk and has alcohol-induced dementia. The nasally voice, the offensive statements, the trailing off, the repetition.. it's all spot on. All she's missing is a hunched back and a lit cigarette.
This is so true. Also I was reading about her children the other day after making the horrific realization that she had children and one of her daughters was admitted to a mental asylum which abused her and traumatized her while she was only age 13, and the “reason” was because she was “being rebellious and cutting herself” so she was abused long term by strangers because her mother felt like the right thing to do was send her child away to be mistreated instead of just, idk, trying to talk to her child and help her through the dark period in her life? Anyways. Also a video exists of her just saying the words “my son hates me” and laughing about it, while he sits like two feet away with this expression 😐like bro I can’t believe this human was even legally allowed to reproduce
that's because normally with comedy u have to write funny jokes, but with a conservative audience the jokes u tell are completely secondary. they're not laughing at her jokes, they're laughing at the thought of a liberal hearing her jokes and getting offended. i recommend the some more news video on why conservative comedians suck, it's a great watch
To be fair, there are a lot of liberal comedians who do the same thing just with the opposite implication. I say this as a liberal. I'm just tired of comedians making political statements instead of making...I don't know, jokes?
its also very funny to me that that's what she's claiming happened when what actually happened was she called the woman a "muslim ape" (paraphrased) which, if, as she claimed, she had misinterpreted which race the woman was, *is still a racially charged insult*
Her screaming "I THOUGHT THE BITCH WAS WHITE" actually scared me a bit lol. Reminded me of when, after my grandpa had a stroke, he came home from the hospital and screamed at us. Scary shit.
@@rabpanz6145 Well, if she really thought she was white and everybody called her racist over it. I'd be mad too. And to be fair, that lady looks white af.
I mean, don't discount a point; it could be D) all of the above. (Though Hawaii = definitely "math" more than "Pepsi".) It's sad, kind of pathetic, honestly. Well, very pitiable. I can't rightly laugh at her for it, but people love a train wreck. And her fans will turn around & eat her alive like a piranha, swimming funny, devoured by its own shoal.
As someone who use to addicted to coke. I’m seeing shit I use to do, rant, get angry for no reason, literally talk so much I can’t even remember what I was talking about. Also she seems drunk. But alcohol and coke mix like nothing. So idk. She might just be loosing it tho.
really feels like someone's senile conservative grandma wandered onto stage and no one has the heart to pull her off bc this is the most attention she's gotten in 15 years
Reminds me of my grandfather at his wife's funeral. No clue what's going on but enjoyed having the stage. My uncle eventually escorted him off. If her show ended that way, we would have to give respect. "Comon grandma it's time for happy pill hour"
This is accurate. My bf's boss is a senile 100-yr-old conservative and he is like this all the time, constant babble about "commie libtards" and qanon conspiracy theories 🙄 he obviously doesn't have anyone who listens to him by choice so he just dumps everything on his employee who can't escape or argue.
@@HereTakeAFlower And conservatives are going to have to piss their pants now. They were so concerned before about what bathroom to use, and now they have to try to find the "get a job" bathroom.
Your conclusion really sums up why a lot of "legacy comedians" like Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, etc are complaining about how audiences don't find them funny. It's not that humor is dead, it's not that everyone's "Too woke". They just don't have anything fresh or funny to say anymore and they're blaming the audience.
I'm so tired of all these narcissistic gen x/baby boomer comedians blaming the audience for not finding their newer material as funny. It almost feels like the audience is forced to laugh, otherwise the comedian accuses the audience of being "stupid" or "overly sensitive" just for not liking a joke? Then they also manipulate their audience and say that their freedom of speech is being taken away or that they're being "cancelled" while Netflix is giving them deals and they sob into their $100 bills in front of us. It just seems like their parents told them that they were special as children and are confused as to why not all their jokes are laughed at. They blame cancel culture, but I think the real problem is their ego.
@elizrebezilmadommdo1662 they can't handle that they're falling off. Chapelle was a street comedian; he had to be quick-witted, had to be something beyond special, so that folks would throw him some money. Now he's old & rich, his mind is slowing down and it's been decades since he was confronted with the average person's struggles. He's out of touch, and that's made him bitter.
THANK YOU I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS. She’s dressed like either a toddler or the insane babysitter who threatens said toddler for not getting her another glass of beer (or something idk) She just has that filthy rich spoiled bratty little kid look.
Terrifying how even at 70 years old she rationalizes to herself that, if it really happened, her mother berating and beating her for getting molested by a neighborhood predator (that for some reason hasn't be arrested) was the right thing to do. Like, I cannot begin to understand how deeply damaged one has to be for you to still agree it was your fault after 60+ years in this day and age.
I almost wonder if that’s why they’re so vehemently opposed to the Me Too movement. Because in their minds, if Me Too is reality, they can no longer use extreme denial as a coping mechanism. It’s sad really
I am 32 years old, and the original comment plus the two replies above mine, taught me a few things. I am fortunate not to have made mistakes, but to have been able to see and process them. I can only imagine if I had accidentally gotten stuck in a form of denial (though I understand it is human nature). I mean we all do, but not always like this. Finally, the idea that certain folks may be against particular civil rights groups because validating those groups would mean having to confront abuse they themselves have endured, makes a lot of sense to me. Life is so strange.
Not to mention the darker implication (that I have seen in real life before) that a family let a pedophile roam the neighborhood undeterred because the safety of their children was less important than the facade that their world is perfect.
“My pronouns are KISS MY ASS!!” Would unironically be a a good t shirt. So transphobic that it turns around and becomes something I can imagine any tumblr user saying
oh, roseanne's pronouns are kiss/my/ass? okay that's not too hard. roseanne certainly is interesting. i think kiss is trying to relive ass glory days, when kiss was a household name. usually i'd say what kiss does isn't my business, it's ass, but since kiss is doing this on a big platform, it kind of becomes our business. anyway, kiss seems like kiss'd be fun at parties. 0/10 it's not the 80s anymore, kiss needs to move on. nobody's thinking about my anymore
I love doing this to conservatives who make these 'fuck pronouns' jokes. Seriously these people didn't care about he, she or they until trans people mentioned them.

Fun fact about Roseanne. When she was doing stand-up post the Roseanne show, or any sort of appearances, her jokes were written by the illustrious Jackie Beat--A drag queen. Jackie has LONG since denounced her, but knowing that Roseanne doesn't write her own material anymore... I have to wonder who would be desperate enough to write for her lol.

She is not mentally all there. I don't know if it's just substance abuse or some kind of brain damage, but she's totally different from how she used to be. I saw her standup in Vegas in the 90's and she was legitimately hilarious. It's an entirely different person on stage now. It's like something has disintegrated her brain. I get the feeling the network and show-runners wanted her gone and the tweet was just the last straw.

For those here old enough to remember, at the hight of her fame, she accused her parents of sexually molesting her. So now she has her supposedly sexually molesting mother warning her against the neighborhood pedophile? Also does anyone remember when she sang the national anthem at a baseball game and grabbed her crotch and spit and conservatives were calling for her show to be cancelled and they were boycotting her advertisers?
well anyone who grew up with her knows she was horribly abused by her fatheras per her own words so it wouldn't be a far step to assume that yeah that shit probably happened too. I deal with trauma through humor. Scared the shit out of the girl who hit me with her car.
@@kendallmonge649 it is actually a very profound statement, she is saying that what constitutes a woman is, in fact, whoever says that they are and that all you need to do to be a woman in her eyes is to declare it openly to the world. It really is truly a poignant bit of stand up that says a lot about the topic of gender norms and the concept of gender as a social construct. Really impressive work on Roseanne's part.
“You can’t just make up new pronouns!” We make up new words all the time. Because languages are constantly evolving. If a word is used widely enough with the same meaning, it becomes an actual word in its respective language. Some recent examples in the English language are the verbs “to yeet” and “to rickroll” (written in the infinitive). If there isn’t a word in your language to describe something you’d like to describe, you can literally just make one up! Shakespeare did it all the time, and he’s remembered as one of the greatest writers the English language ever had, lol
Man it really sucks she turned out this way cause her show was pretty progressive for its time. One of the first shows I saw growing up that had a same-sex kiss on-screen and multiple gay characters. How do you go from actively ready to move your show to a different network if they have problems with you having gay people on the show to calling your family lib-tards and making pronoun jokes...?
Roseanne (the character) actually had an episode about questioning her own sexuality after kissing a woman. Afaik she concluded she was straight in the end, but the episode took a very considerate approach to the matter. Shame that the person behind the character now seems incapable of being considerate of anyone who is different from her.
Fox News brain rot. If you get old and disconnect from a community with varied views and just mainline Tucker Carlson 24/7, it will transform you into a far-right bigot like it did to Roseanne.
I love the phrase "People stopped laughing after the second suicide note" On a more serious note though, I actually used to love the show Roseanne when I was younger. I still watch reruns now and then, think it's held up better than a lot of shows. Seeing what's become of her is incredibly depressing. She used to be a sobering face of the common man and now, well, we watched the video. By the end of it, I was afraid the suicide note bit was about to end with an actual suicide. She's a trainwreck now and I hope she can find some kind of peace sooner rather than later.
I honestly don't even watch the re-runs anymore because I don't want to support the MeTV Good Ol' Days mentality. I can't get through them when she's doing stuff like this because that's what I hear coming out of her mouth. Here, to me, she seems like she's on tramadol because the nose wiping is a very common drug used for pain and caused runny nose in a significant number of users. Because otherwise she's sick and drunk so IDK what she's on but she's no icon and deserves no money to keep doing this.
Rosanne was actually one of my fav shows as a kid, and still love it. I also enjoy the Connors, maybe not as much but it still is very cozy feeling. The original was so important for many people, it was real and they were poor/lower middle class. Most shows were all upper middle class "perfect" families. She fought for that, and was a good voice for the people who get forgotten, now she is everything she hated back then. It sucks, so many childhood people I enjoyed turned into bitter cruel angry people. But then also blame us for also being frustrated at the world, but actually trying to make it better. Also now we are as a whole class wise much worse off than when the show was originally ended as well.
Roseanne has been this way since the 90s, she has always been a trainwreck. I remember watching the news for a lot of what she’s done. Grabbing her crotch and spitting while singing the Star-Spangled Banner on national tv in 1990, Lying about being an inc*st survivor in while high on numerous drugs in 91, referring to a POC as an “ape” etc etc I saw her in the thumbnail and thought “here we go again” It’s really sad because, being a young Jewish girl in the 90s, I loved watching her. I always thought Roseanne Barr (at least the one portrayed in the show) was a strong confident woman that I wanted to be like, being in a barely-making-it lower middle class family myself it made me feel represented. She’s just very mentally ill and has been for decades. She has been shrouded in controversy for over 30 years, I think she just likes it that way, she loves pissing people off and the attention she garners from it.
When she said, "A WOMAN... IS MEEEE," all I could think was that after a lifetime of being a woman, I am no longer a woman because I am not Roseanne Barr. 😔In all seriousness, that's such a narrow definition of 'woman.' There's only one woman on Earth!
"all I could think was that after a lifetime of being a woman, I am no longer a woman" Who knew, after all this time of conservatives fear mongering "the left" was forcing people to be trains, it was actually Rosanne Barr who was "transing" people against their wills. Such a shocker.
She really seems more like she has early-stage dementia, to me, than that she is drunk or high. Of course, Ethan watched the whole thing and there's no way I'm going to do that.
@@SuperTed. no it means you identify beyond the "traditional" gender binary of man/woman, whether that be because you identify varyingly, as in someone who is two-spirit or, if you're not native, genderfluid, or don't identify with gender at all, as in someone who's agender, or identify with a "third gender" like genderqueer. people who are nonbinary can be of any sex, whether that be male, female, or intersex, and nobody denies that reality, but we don't use our biological sex for most things, pretty much only going to the doctors. gender, instead, is the ideology built on top of material sex, which assigns roles to people based on biological features, declaring that someone is a man if they're born with a penis or a woman if they're born with a vagina. this might make sense if you ignore the fact that so much of "man" and "woman" are completely social characteristics - there is no "better at parenting" gene that females have, and there is no "likes beer and football" gene that males are born with. Simone de Beauvoir, a French philosopher, once said that "One is not born a woman, but rather becomes one." Consider this - if you looked at a baby born with XX chromosomes, pointed at it and said "that's a woman," you'd feel pretty silly and wrong, right? because those chromosomes isn't what makes you a woman, it's your gender performance and identity, which only comes to be established with age. consider this as well - when you walk down the street and someone with long hair, makeup, 5'0" tall, feminine voice, pronounced chest and thick hips, is she a woman? well, if gender is the same thing as sex, you have no way of knowing that, because the only way to TRULY know your sex is to get your chromosomes tested. that woman could, ostensibly, be someone with XY chromosomes and an inactive or mutated SRY gene, and they would look exactly the same. so gender, then, has to be more than sex, or you would never know anyone's gender without taking them to the doctor's first. and at that point, why even bother with it?
No one genuinely laughs at this. The whole point is to be angry at something/someone. The people that watch this aren't necessarily watching it to laugh. They watch it because what she says plays into their pre-existing, personal biases, and it makes them feel good to hear someone else get angry about the things they are angry about.
@@sleepyhead_toby yeah. I don’t know if conservatives themselves even find this funny. Maybe the ones who absolutely hate trans people to a pathetic extent but.. like there’s no way right? Like there can’t be any way they actually find this stuff funny. 😂😂😂
It's clear that conservative "comedy" consists of just being mad at some group of people (the group du jour is trans people) and then expecting the audience to laugh or cheer. This isn't a comedy show, it's a political rally.
I've been doing stand up for a year and half. Most audiences can quickly discern if you're joking or if you actually believe in what you're saying. I've seen a fair number of older veteran comedians (SNL alumni especially) who just use their set as an excuse to listen to themselves talk for an hour. It's like a one sided podcast made specifically for them.
It's crazy because Rosanne was probably one of the most progressive sitcoms on television at the time. Hell they even had an episode on racism that talked about implicit bias, micro-aggressions, etc. It's just sad tbh.
She was also part of the Peace and Freedom party, which is a very left wing political party. I think her mental issues just really got to her or something because she did a total 180

Only issue is most conservatives don't find this funny. As a conservative I don't like fox or most things they do. Being transphobic and mean Is not funny
man...the way she talks and acts remind me so much of my grandma with Dementia. At the half point of the video I can't be angry anymore because it was just sad.
Yes as someone who works for hospice this is early stage dementia. That stage where everyone is pissed at you because they think you’re mean or insanely mentally ill. I can’t be mad anymore this woman’s brain is clearly eating itself.
Reminds me a bit of my nana's struggles with being bipolar as well, it's deeply unsettling how these people are giving her a platform instead of giving her help. So much of the right wing is propped up by taking advantage of people who are mentally or emotionally compromised to spew their rhetoric further. It's the same thing with Kayne West. I don't even really have it in me to be mad at people like this because they're just being taken advantage of and having their mental issues broadcasted to the world. I feel like this exploitation of people who need help to promote rhetoric that further hurts themselves and everyone around them is one of the cruelest facets of right wing propaganda.

“Your gender is… get a job!” I burst out laughing. No matter how many seconds passed by, I couldn’t stop cackling at the sheer unprecedented humor that came out of Roseanne’s mouth. After a few minutes I was in stitches and my legs started to give out, causing me to fall to the floor, crying. Someone nearby asked me if I was okay, to which I responded by showing them the video. They immediately roared with laughter. Their face contorted into painful and inhuman shapes. Eventually a whole crowd surrounded around us worried about our condition, only to hear the video which was now playing on loop. Tens of people were now on the floor, reduced to mindless animals whose only goal was to laugh. The room was filled with a choir of guffaws and cries, creating a sound that can only be described as utterly insane. God was punishing the world for our sins, and all we could do was howl at the absurdity of it all.
This lady's humor has the same energy as "u guys wanna hear a joke....? Women's rights!" Like can we get an edit of her jokes but instead of the laugh tracks its just *crickets*
This might just depress you more, but I seriously recommend Queen Coke Francis' video contrasting the special with Roseanne's previous views as represented by her book... it's jaw-dropping th-cam.com/video/cBX1LB-1sBc/w-d-xo.html
The fact that a 70-something year old lady walked out on that stage dressed exactly how I was for picture day in the first grade (circa 1995) in an unironic manner. . .pretty much sets the tone for what was about to occur.

*How normal people tell jokes* 1. Set up a premise and expectation 2. Subvert that expectation *How conservatives tell "jokes"* 1. Whine about things you don't understand 2. Say something offensive
How liberals tell "jokes" 1) Either whine about being an oppressed victim or virtue-signal about being an ally to oppressed victims. 2) If you're white, apologize for being white and tell some self-loathing "jokes." If you're Jewish, pretend that your white and tell some anti-white "jokes." If you aren't white, whine about how white people oppress you and tell some anti-white "jokes."
Honestly I'm not sure if she's intoxicated or if she's just starting to decline mentally, because this whole thing really reminds me of talking to an older person whose mind isn't all there. Especially the way she keeps forgetting what she's saying in the middle of talking and how she sounds like she's about to fall asleep at points (and kind of like she's going to start crying at others?). I've seen quite a few conservative "comedy" acts and they usually just leave me rolling my eyes and feeling frustrated, but this makes me mostly feel sad and kind of concerned. Like this doesn't sound like someone who should be trying to perform, it sounds like someone who should be at home with a caretaker. It's very uncomfortable and bizarre and kind of makes me wonder how aware and in control of things she is.

Even though *kiss* is a terrible person, *ass* are no exception
Rosanne USED to be hilarious. One of the greats. Yes, really. Back in the eighties, her stand up was unapologetic about her size and had a fresh take on being a blue collar woman in the eighties, a perspective nobody in the mainstream could rival. So what makes all of this so sad is that that talent is gone and never coming back.
Although she did have ghost writers at one point which isn't normally an issue but here it makes you question if she was ever funny or if it was just her employees
She even did a "woke" episode on her show too...Her was son smitten with a Black girl and her father arrived at the diner right before it closed and she didn't let him in cause he was Black. 15 minutes later a white guy knocked on the door and asked to use the phone and robbed her at gun point. They had really good self reflection discussions on race...
That was such a weird way for Rosanne to announce my pronouns, but I'm proud of kiss! Ass really put myself out there, and I'm so proud of kiss; it took a ton of bravery to get up there, especially with ass' very clear early onset dementia. Kiss may not be understood by everyone, but only the realest will get my!
For real! Like, holy sh*t what kind of monsters were her mom and the adults in the neighborhood that they not only knowingly allowed a s*xual assaulter to be in their midst but physically blamed and punished their daughters for going near him? Like, put that guy in jail! Wtf?! And it sucks because while Roseanne has obviously held onto that trauma so hard that she remembers it so clearly all these years later, she's doing *the same thing* to her fellow victims. Calling them wh*res and saying it's their fault. It's sad and infuriating.
Yea most of that and many of her other points are hard to listen to and really just drives home some of those horrible conservative boomer points of view that really should have never been acceptable!!

4:02 the bit with Roseanne describing how she can explode a deer with her AR while the audience cheered has got to be one of the most insane bits 😭😭. She and her audience are so steeped in their political ideologies that they've become morally depraved. They're cheering while she describes brutally killing a deer, framed as a joke. Probably not the craziest thing she said, but something that really stuck out to me as a good example of just how crazy she and her fans are.
@@fabricator.cap.hill.seattle - That only goes so far when they tend to be sponsored only by companies that market solely to old people. Hard for the under-60 audience to meaningfully boycott a company that sells catheters.
"Haunting" is an apt description. I thought someone pit Rosanne in the twilight zone or hell, where she's slowly realizing its all fake and that the demons in the room are laughing at her demise, not with her jokes
You know a person peaked in high school when they have to bring up they were known for their abilities in football/cheerleading. Football hero in high school and that is the summary of who her father was in life, I just can't lmfao
I grew up watching Rosanne in the 90's. So I remember when she was at her height, though I was a child. The show was actually pretty based in a working class kind of way the last time I watched early episodes. It was about the struggles of working class life in midwestern town that had little love for the petite bourgeois owner/managerial classes or conservative politics of 1980s austerity. So interestingly and ironically she was a white boomer working class hero when the show originally came out. Eventually her character became the owner/manager, and then they jumped the shark with the lottery thing. Regardless that was the aspect of the show that you wouldn't guess by who she is now. It really goes to show that people just really become something completely different. We constantly change, so I have to make sure to keep my view solid for graceful ageing. Money seems to rot people's brains, but I know that there's the necessity to have it. I'm unfortunately a relatively unskilled early xillennial enby trans femme, so I doubt money will be in my future. Lucky me, I get to stay principled.
This is legit one of my biggest worries in life. That I'll become embittered by the world or exhausted by the struggle to the point of leaning conservative. I fear success and have a tendency toward self-sabotage because like, what if having money means I'll become a selfish, out-of-touch prick? Who will I become if I lose my way for the sake of money or convenience or ease? There's hope though! There are folks like Angela Davis, Bernie Sanders, the late Terry Pratchett and Betty White, and many others who have managed to hold onto the same values (and even evolved into better ones) decade after decade. So hopefully as long as we try to stay self-aware we'll be okay! So here's hoping for success for the both of us!
Mental illness seems to be a factor. She has been open about being diagnosed with PTSD and bipolar in the past. Not that those cause conservative thinking, but who knows what's going on with her mentally. As hurtful as her statements are, I'm rather concerned.
I don't think you need to worry too much, what seems to have affected Roseanne is most likely a form of dementia or Alzheimer's disease, both of which cause profound alterations in personality and behavior. It's quite sad seeing how confused she is and how often she forgets what she was supposed to say. Her slurred speech is also very prominent. It's easy to chalk it all up to alcohol abuse but I heavily suspect that it's in fact some form of neurodegenerative disease
I'm almost 60 and I loved the Roseanne show. I watched it religiously and still watch the re-runs whenever I can. Being born the last year of the boomers (1964) I can honestly say, I feel sometimes like I have nothing in common with boomers. They've turned into a bunch of hate filled, conspiracy believing, complaining, Trump lovers (not all but many) while I have become more liberal as I've become older. I guess there's so many reasons why someone would grow more hateful instead of more empathetic and I can't understand the need to hold onto the hate. I'm hoping that my 2 millennial children will stay just as liberal as they are now as they get older. So sad to see Roseanne this way.
12:35 When i heard this i noticed the strain on her voice like she was holding back tears and I honestly feel bad for her based on the context. It seems like she was molested and was psychically punished because of it and now is forced to believe it's her fault.

Not even joking, she genuinely sounds like my husband's grandma, who is perpetually drunk and has alcohol-induced dementia. The nasally voice, the offensive statements, the trailing off, the repetition.. it's all spot on. All she's missing is a hunched back and a lit cigarette.

this was the most "why don't my kids talk to me anymore?" thing I've ever seen
This is so true. Also I was reading about her children the other day after making the horrific realization that she had children and one of her daughters was admitted to a mental asylum which abused her and traumatized her while she was only age 13, and the “reason” was because she was “being rebellious and cutting herself” so she was abused long term by strangers because her mother felt like the right thing to do was send her child away to be mistreated instead of just, idk, trying to talk to her child and help her through the dark period in her life? Anyways. Also a video exists of her just saying the words “my son hates me” and laughing about it, while he sits like two feet away with this expression 😐like bro I can’t believe this human was even legally allowed to reproduce

so much of conservative comedy is just like saying random buzzwords, like theres no setup or punchline its just "pronouns! laugh!"
that's because normally with comedy u have to write funny jokes, but with a conservative audience the jokes u tell are completely secondary. they're not laughing at her jokes, they're laughing at the thought of a liberal hearing her jokes and getting offended. i recommend the some more news video on why conservative comedians suck, it's a great watch
They’re fucking lazy dude. Or their brains are missing connections.
To be fair, there are a lot of liberal comedians who do the same thing just with the opposite implication. I say this as a liberal. I'm just tired of comedians making political statements instead of making...I don't know, jokes?
@Peyton Alexander example being SNL, I'm a liberal but even I got annoyed of the tired Trump jokes
Its the one joke they have. They dont have actual comedy, they can only just laugh at other peoples differences and politics they don't believe in

I mean, don't discount a point; it could be D) all of the above. (Though Hawaii = definitely "math" more than "Pepsi".) It's sad, kind of pathetic, honestly. Well, very pitiable. I can't rightly laugh at her for it, but people love a train wreck. And her fans will turn around & eat her alive like a piranha, swimming funny, devoured by its own shoal.
Yeah, something about her wiping her nose a lot (on stage, on camera, during her own comedy special) sets off my dementia alarms
As someone who use to addicted to coke. I’m seeing shit I use to do, rant, get angry for no reason, literally talk so much I can’t even remember what I was talking about. Also she seems drunk. But alcohol and coke mix like nothing. So idk. She might just be loosing it tho.
"I MURDER ANIMALS LOL" and "I CAN'T UNDERSTAND OTHER GENDERS!" Primo comedy. Everyone goes nuts.

1. Im not a woman because Im not Roseanne
2. My gender is “get a job” regardless of wether i have a job or not
I’m gonna put “get a job” on the gender portion of my job application 💅🏽

Your conclusion really sums up why a lot of "legacy comedians" like Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, etc are complaining about how audiences don't find them funny. It's not that humor is dead, it's not that everyone's "Too woke". They just don't have anything fresh or funny to say anymore and they're blaming the audience.
Of course they would blame people.
I'm so tired of all these narcissistic gen x/baby boomer comedians blaming the audience for not finding their newer material as funny. It almost feels like the audience is forced to laugh, otherwise the comedian accuses the audience of being "stupid" or "overly sensitive" just for not liking a joke? Then they also manipulate their audience and say that their freedom of speech is being taken away or that they're being "cancelled" while Netflix is giving them deals and they sob into their $100 bills in front of us.
It just seems like their parents told them that they were special as children and are confused as to why not all their jokes are laughed at. They blame cancel culture, but I think the real problem is their ego.
@elizrebezilmadommdo1662 they can't handle that they're falling off. Chapelle was a street comedian; he had to be quick-witted, had to be something beyond special, so that folks would throw him some money.

THANK YOU I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS. She’s dressed like either a toddler or the insane babysitter who threatens said toddler for not getting her another glass of beer (or something idk)
She just has that filthy rich spoiled bratty little kid look.
Terrifying how even at 70 years old she rationalizes to herself that, if it really happened, her mother berating and beating her for getting molested by a neighborhood predator (that for some reason hasn't be arrested) was the right thing to do.
Like, I cannot begin to understand how deeply damaged one has to be for you to still agree it was your fault after 60+ years in this day and age.
It breaks my heart honestly, and the scariest part is a lot of older people think that way and continue to hold onto trauma until the day they die.
I almost wonder if that’s why they’re so vehemently opposed to the Me Too movement. Because in their minds, if Me Too is reality, they can no longer use extreme denial as a coping mechanism. It’s sad really
I am 32 years old, and the original comment plus the two replies above mine, taught me a few things.
I am fortunate not to have made mistakes, but to have been able to see and process them. I can only imagine if I had accidentally gotten stuck in a form of denial (though I understand it is human nature). I mean we all do, but not always like this.
Finally, the idea that certain folks may be against particular civil rights groups because validating those groups would mean having to confront abuse they themselves have endured, makes a lot of sense to me.
Life is so strange.
Not to mention the darker implication (that I have seen in real life before) that a family let a pedophile roam the neighborhood undeterred because the safety of their children was less important than the facade that their world is perfect.
I never knew that happened to her. That’s awful no one deserves that

roseanne certainly is interesting. i think kiss is trying to relive ass glory days, when kiss was a household name. usually i'd say what kiss does isn't my business, it's ass, but since kiss is doing this on a big platform, it kind of becomes our business. anyway, kiss seems like kiss'd be fun at parties. 0/10 it's not the 80s anymore, kiss needs to move on. nobody's thinking about my anymore

She is not mentally all there. I don't know if it's just substance abuse or some kind of brain damage, but she's totally different from how she used to be.

I get the feeling the network and show-runners wanted her gone and the tweet was just the last straw.
Historically it's both substance abuse and alleged brain damage (apparently; according to Wikipedia).

Cannot believe she is on stage victim blaming in her "jokes", glorifying punishing her daughter for getting molested
Extremely baffling.
her recounting her mom spanking her has to be some kind of unkempt trauma.
For those here old enough to remember, at the hight of her fame, she accused her parents of sexually molesting her. So now she has her supposedly sexually molesting mother warning her against the neighborhood pedophile?
Also does anyone remember when she sang the national anthem at a baseball game and grabbed her crotch and spit and conservatives were calling for her show to be cancelled and they were boycotting her advertisers?
that part was just so sad
fr sounds like a really intense therapy session except theres no therapist and she will never find any resolution
well anyone who grew up with her knows she was horribly abused by her fatheras per her own words so it wouldn't be a far step to assume that yeah that shit probably happened too. I deal with trauma through humor. Scared the shit out of the girl who hit me with her car.

“You can’t just make up new pronouns!”
We make up new words all the time. Because languages are constantly evolving. If a word is used widely enough with the same meaning, it becomes an actual word in its respective language. Some recent examples in the English language are the verbs “to yeet” and “to rickroll” (written in the infinitive).
If there isn’t a word in your language to describe something you’d like to describe, you can literally just make one up! Shakespeare did it all the time, and he’s remembered as one of the greatest writers the English language ever had, lol
Man it really sucks she turned out this way cause her show was pretty progressive for its time. One of the first shows I saw growing up that had a same-sex kiss on-screen and multiple gay characters. How do you go from actively ready to move your show to a different network if they have problems with you having gay people on the show to calling your family lib-tards and making pronoun jokes...?
cocaine!
Desperation. They love gay shit as entertainment but when it comes to realizing those people actually exist, they can't wrap their heads around it
Roseanne (the character) actually had an episode about questioning her own sexuality after kissing a woman. Afaik she concluded she was straight in the end, but the episode took a very considerate approach to the matter. Shame that the person behind the character now seems incapable of being considerate of anyone who is different from her.
Fox News brain rot. If you get old and disconnect from a community with varied views and just mainline Tucker Carlson 24/7, it will transform you into a far-right bigot like it did to Roseanne.
Because pronouns suck, the gay shit went too far and we realized it was a demonic slippery slope.
Oh boy, imagine being on stage and not being able to string a sentence together- that's an actual recurring nightmare I have!
I love the phrase "People stopped laughing after the second suicide note"
On a more serious note though, I actually used to love the show Roseanne when I was younger. I still watch reruns now and then, think it's held up better than a lot of shows. Seeing what's become of her is incredibly depressing. She used to be a sobering face of the common man and now, well, we watched the video. By the end of it, I was afraid the suicide note bit was about to end with an actual suicide. She's a trainwreck now and I hope she can find some kind of peace sooner rather than later.
I honestly don't even watch the re-runs anymore because I don't want to support the MeTV Good Ol' Days mentality. I can't get through them when she's doing stuff like this because that's what I hear coming out of her mouth.
Here, to me, she seems like she's on tramadol because the nose wiping is a very common drug used for pain and caused runny nose in a significant number of users. Because otherwise she's sick and drunk so IDK what she's on but she's no icon and deserves no money to keep doing this.
Rosanne was actually one of my fav shows as a kid, and still love it. I also enjoy the Connors, maybe not as much but it still is very cozy feeling. The original was so important for many people, it was real and they were poor/lower middle class. Most shows were all upper middle class "perfect" families. She fought for that, and was a good voice for the people who get forgotten, now she is everything she hated back then. It sucks, so many childhood people I enjoyed turned into bitter cruel angry people. But then also blame us for also being frustrated at the world, but actually trying to make it better. Also now we are as a whole class wise much worse off than when the show was originally ended as well.
I wholeheartedly agree, yeah
Roseanne has been this way since the 90s, she has always been a trainwreck. I remember watching the news for a lot of what she’s done. Grabbing her crotch and spitting while singing the Star-Spangled Banner on national tv in 1990, Lying about being an inc*st survivor in while high on numerous drugs in 91, referring to a POC as an “ape” etc etc
I saw her in the thumbnail and thought “here we go again”
It’s really sad because, being a young Jewish girl in the 90s, I loved watching her. I always thought Roseanne Barr (at least the one portrayed in the show) was a strong confident woman that I wanted to be like, being in a barely-making-it lower middle class family myself it made me feel represented.
She’s just very mentally ill and has been for decades. She has been shrouded in controversy for over 30 years, I think she just likes it that way, she loves pissing people off and the attention she garners from it.
Rosanne Barr has always been a messy train-wreck of person. Just look at what Tom Arnold has said publicly about their relationship
When she said, "A WOMAN... IS MEEEE," all I could think was that after a lifetime of being a woman, I am no longer a woman because I am not Roseanne Barr. 😔In all seriousness, that's such a narrow definition of 'woman.' There's only one woman on Earth!
the rest of us are jobs 😔
"all I could think was that after a lifetime of being a woman, I am no longer a woman"
Who knew, after all this time of conservatives fear mongering "the left" was forcing people to be trains, it was actually Rosanne Barr who was "transing" people against their wills. Such a shocker.
If she's the only woman on earth, misogyny is completely valid and true.
She'd get kicked out of a women's restroom in the south for being a drag queen.

Does non binary mean you don't have a sense of humor.
@@SuperTed. no it means you identify beyond the "traditional" gender binary of man/woman, whether that be because you identify varyingly, as in someone who is two-spirit or, if you're not native, genderfluid, or don't identify with gender at all, as in someone who's agender, or identify with a "third gender" like genderqueer. people who are nonbinary can be of any sex, whether that be male, female, or intersex, and nobody denies that reality, but we don't use our biological sex for most things, pretty much only going to the doctors. gender, instead, is the ideology built on top of material sex, which assigns roles to people based on biological features, declaring that someone is a man if they're born with a penis or a woman if they're born with a vagina. this might make sense if you ignore the fact that so much of "man" and "woman" are completely social characteristics - there is no "better at parenting" gene that females have, and there is no "likes beer and football" gene that males are born with. Simone de Beauvoir, a French philosopher, once said that "One is not born a woman, but rather becomes one." Consider this - if you looked at a baby born with XX chromosomes, pointed at it and said "that's a woman," you'd feel pretty silly and wrong, right? because those chromosomes isn't what makes you a woman, it's your gender performance and identity, which only comes to be established with age. consider this as well - when you walk down the street and someone with long hair, makeup, 5'0" tall, feminine voice, pronounced chest and thick hips, is she a woman? well, if gender is the same thing as sex, you have no way of knowing that, because the only way to TRULY know your sex is to get your chromosomes tested. that woman could, ostensibly, be someone with XY chromosomes and an inactive or mutated SRY gene, and they would look exactly the same. so gender, then, has to be more than sex, or you would never know anyone's gender without taking them to the doctor's first. and at that point, why even bother with it?
An entire special of "conservatives only have two jokes, and they're both unfunny."
Comedy may be subjective but I really do not know what kind of person laughs at the most stale humor in existence
I simply refuse to believe comedy is completely subjective, there’s way more nuance to it than that. There really are things that simply aren’t funny.
No one genuinely laughs at this. The whole point is to be angry at something/someone. The people that watch this aren't necessarily watching it to laugh. They watch it because what she says plays into their pre-existing, personal biases, and it makes them feel good to hear someone else get angry about the things they are angry about.

Hey both sides do this dont leave yourselves out. Share in the idiocy.
I've been doing stand up for a year and half. Most audiences can quickly discern if you're joking or if you actually believe in what you're saying. I've seen a fair number of older veteran comedians (SNL alumni especially) who just use their set as an excuse to listen to themselves talk for an hour. It's like a one sided podcast made specifically for them.
Rob Schneider and Jim breuer are perfect examples
It's crazy because Rosanne was probably one of the most progressive sitcoms on television at the time. Hell they even had an episode on racism that talked about implicit bias, micro-aggressions, etc. It's just sad tbh.

Reminds me a bit of my nana's struggles with being bipolar as well, it's deeply unsettling how these people are giving her a platform instead of giving her help. So much of the right wing is propped up by taking advantage of people who are mentally or emotionally compromised to spew their rhetoric further. It's the same thing with Kayne West. I don't even really have it in me to be mad at people like this because they're just being taken advantage of and having their mental issues broadcasted to the world. I feel like this exploitation of people who need help to promote rhetoric that further hurts themselves and everyone around them is one of the cruelest facets of right wing propaganda.
Been to a couple of family get togethers, she sounds just like the older people sitting at the same table and grumbling about one of my cousins having different colored hair and "what that means"
You see. That's a reasonable position to have on your part.
Thank god I'm non-binary! Couldn't imagine having to morph myself into Rosanna Barr to be considered a woman 😳
That's the irreversible damage all the transphobes are so afraid of 😔
What a shock, basic white person becomes non binary for oppression points.
Or you're just a desperately confused woman 😮
@@kuuderepanda4207 ayooooo
Were you bullied as a kid? By peers or your family?
“Football hero” means he peaked in high school 😂
“Your gender is… get a job!” I burst out laughing. No matter how many seconds passed by, I couldn’t stop cackling at the sheer unprecedented humor that came out of Roseanne’s mouth. After a few minutes I was in stitches and my legs started to give out, causing me to fall to the floor, crying. Someone nearby asked me if I was okay, to which I responded by showing them the video. They immediately roared with laughter. Their face contorted into painful and inhuman shapes. Eventually a whole crowd surrounded around us worried about our condition, only to hear the video which was now playing on loop. Tens of people were now on the floor, reduced to mindless animals whose only goal was to laugh. The room was filled with a choir of guffaws and cries, creating a sound that can only be described as utterly insane. God was punishing the world for our sins, and all we could do was howl at the absurdity of it all.
And, amid wild bursts of laughter... Everybody clapped.
*mic drop*
Only way we can laugh at this is by making fun of the comedian…
Are you ok? :(
Fucking hell, bro, can I just say that this is an amazing piece of writing?
sounds like an scp lol
This lady's humor has the same energy as "u guys wanna hear a joke....? Women's rights!"
Like can we get an edit of her jokes but instead of the laugh tracks its just *crickets*
energy-wise yeah, but even that joke kinda "works" structurally since it has a set up and a punchline, which Roseann doesn't seem to grasp anymore
Wouls be funnier if it was just dead silent
Have I been summoned?

That's some poor child's blood. They cut off her adrenochrome so she has to get it locally.
@@dzhang4459 Hey support local y'know?!
A lot of what she's saying and the way she's talking just reminds me of my mother with Alzheimer's :(
ive seen a couple people mention this/similar and honestly yeah, watching the video something feels up
I'm very sorry for your mother
This might just depress you more, but I seriously recommend Queen Coke Francis' video contrasting the special with Roseanne's previous views as represented by her book... it's jaw-dropping th-cam.com/video/cBX1LB-1sBc/w-d-xo.html
@@gnocchidokey Thank you for the rec. It looks interesting.
This is what my southern grandmother sounds like after exactly ONE gin and tonic. It’s horrifying.

Thr "shut up bitch" part was unironically one of the funniest heckler shut down I've ever seen 🤣
I actually laughed at that. She doesn't even want any allies lmao
Ong, only funny part was when she was being rude to a peer lmao
I can't tell if this was supposed to be a stand up routine, a cry for help, or any boomer at Thanksgiving dinner for the past five years.
I forgot who said this but it fits quite well "It doesn't offend me as a person, it offends me as a comedian"
Seinfeld I think 🤔
It was a rare seinfeld W. He says it about a dentist he suspects converted to Judaism only so he could make Jewish jokes
This is the most uncomfortable thing I've ever watched omfg
The fact that a 70-something year old lady walked out on that stage dressed exactly how I was for picture day in the first grade (circa 1995) in an unironic manner. . .pretty much sets the tone for what was about to occur.

I agree 1000%. What’s funny about hurting innocent animals, at all? Thats just sad and shows you lack respect for nature.
yes
Hunting for sport is fucked but as someone born and raised around hunting lands, it's to keep the population controlled. Deer breed more than they can feed.

@@thisgoddamusernamestoodamnlong Shooting defenseless animals with anything is a shitty thing to do. We’re not cave men. We evolved past the need for killing animals a long time ago.
I don’t even know how conservatives find this funny, it’s like listening to your drunk grandad spew offensive stuff during thanksgiving while you all just awkwardly laugh
Liberals ain’t funny
Her "shut up bitch" line actually made me giggle a bit and it's the closest to a laugh I got in this whole thing
Ya but it was obviously set up.
it feels wrong knowing people would pay money to see a senile old grandma have a breakdown on stage and calling it comedy
That’s removing way too much autonomy and responsibility from her. She’s an ass and she knows it and she loves being a bigot.
They don't know though. Bc she's saying what they agree with, she sounds coherent to them
I’m convinced people were paid to go to her show and laugh. Half of them couldn’t even do that.
roseanne barr more like roseanne car (get in it and go home please)
also she looks like if grandma dressed up as beverly goldberg
I love reading this in an awkward tone
*How normal people tell jokes*
1. Set up a premise and expectation
2. Subvert that expectation
*How conservatives tell "jokes"*
1. Whine about things you don't understand
2. Say something offensive
So on point. 😂
"This thing is bad. I don't like it."
- conservative humor
How liberals tell "jokes"
1) Either whine about being an oppressed victim or virtue-signal about being an ally to oppressed victims.
2) If you're white, apologize for being white and tell some self-loathing "jokes." If you're Jewish, pretend that your white and tell some anti-white "jokes." If you aren't white, whine about how white people oppress you and tell some anti-white "jokes."
“Gender, am I right?” - top tier conservative humor. And they say the left can’t meme.
I found it! The echo chamber
Honestly I'm not sure if she's intoxicated or if she's just starting to decline mentally, because this whole thing really reminds me of talking to an older person whose mind isn't all there. Especially the way she keeps forgetting what she's saying in the middle of talking and how she sounds like she's about to fall asleep at points (and kind of like she's going to start crying at others?). I've seen quite a few conservative "comedy" acts and they usually just leave me rolling my eyes and feeling frustrated, but this makes me mostly feel sad and kind of concerned. Like this doesn't sound like someone who should be trying to perform, it sounds like someone who should be at home with a caretaker. It's very uncomfortable and bizarre and kind of makes me wonder how aware and in control of things she is.
Her son seems to attend everything with her and they live together so I think that's so she doesn't have to go into a retirement home at quite a young age not because he can't afford a place of his own.

Wow she really went on stage and cried for help, like was giving the clearest cry for help literally I've ever seen and people *laughed*
Like she's not a great person but holy cow
Two questions:
1. Who let their angry racist aunt have a mic?
2. Who told her those pigtails were a good idea?
3. Or that dazzled up prison outfit?
4. "Joanne, honey, did you take your meds today? I know Joanne, the doctors are liars, but we know Dr. Terry means you no harm. No, you can't watch the TV today. You can watch the replay of the Tuckerson show tomorrow, is that OK?"
I'm kind of liking the pigtails
I actually thought she looked cute XD
I legit thought her look was part of a bit 💀
Whoever told her the pigtails were a good idea is not her friend.
I can just imagine lord Farquaad executioner standing in the corner of the room holding a “laugh” sign
The weirdest thing about this is how *kiss* has *my* hair in pigtails like a little kid. Especially creepy after *kiss* made that really weird pedophile joke; you can have an offensive joke that is still funny, but *ass* ain't it. It's just very off-putting to see a senior citizen act like this and not be going senile. Maybe *kiss* is, I don't know. That little hope is how I sleep at night
Middle aged "comedians" are at least part of the generation of antivaxxers and QAnon and shit, they congregate on Facebook and it becomes more and more resistant to logic. *Kiss* probably got an account set up by *my* grandkids, who had no idea what disease they were unleashing
My dad's about the same age as *my* and he's already bad enough without the conspiracies. I know most kids are embarrassed by their parent's online presence, but I can't imagine what *ass* have to go through
I am glad that *kiss* confirmed *my* pronouns, I always try to respect them. Even though *kiss* is a terrible person, *ass* are no exception
Insightful and hilarious comment
you are correct. Ass truly ain't it
This feels like a soliloquy
She made a Tiktok about water refracting making a rainbow ranting about “what are they putting in the water” like rain doesn’t do the same thing.
Damn dihydrogen monoxide pollution
Rosanne USED to be hilarious. One of the greats. Yes, really. Back in the eighties, her stand up was unapologetic about her size and had a fresh take on being a blue collar woman in the eighties, a perspective nobody in the mainstream could rival. So what makes all of this so sad is that that talent is gone and never coming back.
Although she did have ghost writers at one point which isn't normally an issue but here it makes you question if she was ever funny or if it was just her employees
@@unclewiley1986 In the beginning, she wouldn't have had writers though. She got to that point on her own merit.
She even did a "woke" episode on her show too...Her was son smitten with a Black girl and her father arrived at the diner right before it closed and she didn't let him in cause he was Black. 15 minutes later a white guy knocked on the door and asked to use the phone and robbed her at gun point. They had really good self reflection discussions on race...
She was never very funny. Her show was okay for a sitcom but she was always not that funny
That was such a weird way for Rosanne to announce my pronouns, but I'm proud of kiss! Ass really put myself out there, and I'm so proud of kiss; it took a ton of bravery to get up there, especially with ass' very clear early onset dementia. Kiss may not be understood by everyone, but only the realest will get my!
Really makes you appreciate legends like George Carlin, who only got funnier AND more intelligently critical on social issues as they got older.
the victim blaming part made my stomach turn hard. jfc
For real! Like, holy sh*t what kind of monsters were her mom and the adults in the neighborhood that they not only knowingly allowed a s*xual assaulter to be in their midst but physically blamed and punished their daughters for going near him? Like, put that guy in jail! Wtf?!
And it sucks because while Roseanne has obviously held onto that trauma so hard that she remembers it so clearly all these years later, she's doing *the same thing* to her fellow victims. Calling them wh*res and saying it's their fault. It's sad and infuriating.
Yea most of that and many of her other points are hard to listen to and really just drives home some of those horrible conservative boomer points of view that really should have never been acceptable!!
@@ggmusic3458 I’m pretty sure most of those people just think their actually watching a new episode of Roseanne on their CRT TV 📺 in the old folks home and didn’t even realize they’re where in a theater 😅. But yea it’s crazy for sure
Gotta love when these rich "comedians" whine about being cancelled, and then continue to get paid for standing on a stage in front of 100s of people.
“Whoever is paying to see the Roseanne Barr show in-person is not going to see the Kingdom of Heaven” LMAO
I remember seeing ads for this special all over tv and youtube and like... Why the fuck did they shoot it like she was a supervillain? They had her bathed in Shadow, she asked some weird question in a very threatening or at least Ominous way as the camera panned up... And then she just laughs maniacally?

4:02 the bit with Roseanne describing how she can explode a deer with her AR while the audience cheered has got to be one of the most insane bits 😭😭. She and her audience are so steeped in their political ideologies that they've become morally depraved. They're cheering while she describes brutally killing a deer, framed as a joke. Probably not the craziest thing she said, but something that really stuck out to me as a good example of just how crazy she and her fans are.
Yeah no actual hunter would approve of going after fawns, let alone with an AR-15 (unless you want fawn pudding, wtf).

Then start listing their sponsors so people can boycott them.
@@fabricator.cap.hill.seattle - That only goes so far when they tend to be sponsored only by companies that market solely to old people. Hard for the under-60 audience to meaningfully boycott a company that sells catheters.

The way I have been SCROLLING for this comment
ham
Coke doesn't even last that long
"I can only learn from my mistakes when people tell me I'm doing my best and that I'm awesome oh and while being filmed and famous" -Roseanne
"Haunting" is an apt description. I thought someone pit Rosanne in the twilight zone or hell, where she's slowly realizing its all fake and that the demons in the room are laughing at her demise, not with her jokes
You know a person peaked in high school when they have to bring up they were known for their abilities in football/cheerleading. Football hero in high school and that is the summary of who her father was in life, I just can't lmfao
I grew up watching Rosanne in the 90's. So I remember when she was at her height, though I was a child. The show was actually pretty based in a working class kind of way the last time I watched early episodes. It was about the struggles of working class life in midwestern town that had little love for the petite bourgeois owner/managerial classes or conservative politics of 1980s austerity. So interestingly and ironically she was a white boomer working class hero when the show originally came out. Eventually her character became the owner/manager, and then they jumped the shark with the lottery thing. Regardless that was the aspect of the show that you wouldn't guess by who she is now. It really goes to show that people just really become something completely different. We constantly change, so I have to make sure to keep my view solid for graceful ageing. Money seems to rot people's brains, but I know that there's the necessity to have it. I'm unfortunately a relatively unskilled early xillennial enby trans femme, so I doubt money will be in my future. Lucky me, I get to stay principled.
This is legit one of my biggest worries in life. That I'll become embittered by the world or exhausted by the struggle to the point of leaning conservative. I fear success and have a tendency toward self-sabotage because like, what if having money means I'll become a selfish, out-of-touch prick? Who will I become if I lose my way for the sake of money or convenience or ease?
There's hope though! There are folks like Angela Davis, Bernie Sanders, the late Terry Pratchett and Betty White, and many others who have managed to hold onto the same values (and even evolved into better ones) decade after decade. So hopefully as long as we try to stay self-aware we'll be okay!
So here's hoping for success for the both of us!
Mental illness seems to be a factor. She has been open about being diagnosed with PTSD and bipolar in the past. Not that those cause conservative thinking, but who knows what's going on with her mentally. As hurtful as her statements are, I'm rather concerned.
Unrelated I’m sorry but enby transfem gang :3
I don't think you need to worry too much, what seems to have affected Roseanne is most likely a form of dementia or Alzheimer's disease, both of which cause profound alterations in personality and behavior. It's quite sad seeing how confused she is and how often she forgets what she was supposed to say. Her slurred speech is also very prominent. It's easy to chalk it all up to alcohol abuse but I heavily suspect that it's in fact some form of neurodegenerative disease
I'm almost 60 and I loved the Roseanne show. I watched it religiously and still watch the re-runs whenever I can.
Being born the last year of the boomers (1964) I can honestly say, I feel sometimes like I have nothing in common with boomers. They've turned into a bunch of hate filled, conspiracy believing, complaining, Trump lovers (not all but many) while I have become more liberal as I've become older. I guess there's so many reasons why someone would grow more hateful instead of more empathetic and I can't understand the need to hold onto the hate. I'm hoping that my 2 millennial children will stay just as liberal as they are now as they get older. So sad to see Roseanne this way.
A stale Popeyes biscuit is less dry than this woman's comedy
I genuinely feel bad cause she clearly fell hard; this was not a stand up special, this was a cry for help
he was a football hero
12:35 When i heard this i noticed the strain on her voice like she was holding back tears and I honestly feel bad for her based on the context. It seems like she was molested and was psychically punished because of it and now is forced to believe it's her fault.
