Oh, Ms. Bauer! I, too, have flubbed a funeral… as the pastor… including calling the deceased by the wrong name throughout because I had the program from the previous funeral. I thought I was doing a smashing job. It felt familiar, until the widow stood up and said, “Pastor, Mrs. Wilson’s funeral last week was lovely. When are we going to start Roy’s?”

Bill Bailey, Sarah Millican, Holly Walsh and I think presenter Charlie Ross all on the same panel would be a hoot!

[@UAndDave]

Not a bad shout at all!

[@Davoerlo]

Adam Hills please. A Auzzie episode would be great.

Who told this girl she was funny…Simon Cowell!

Scraping the barrel with this line up. Byrne aside.

Unfortunately it’s not the subject matter it’s the woman herself that is annoying

[@gayleowens5057]

Not funny

[@user-rm9zx7ln9i]

Well, humor is subjective. You might find it funnier from the perspective of the person in the coffin?

[@jamesedmonds7519]

Funnier than you

[@LenaPatsa]

Ingrained fatphobia exists in people of all sizes. It's not funny and it perpetuates fat stigma, which kills. That was disgraceful, Helen, and lazy. Do better.

[@jamesedmonds7519]

Oh shut up. Yours, a fat person.

Really cheap, unpleasant attempt at scoring laughs. Memories of the relative being kind, witty, sweetly forgetful, etc - no - but literally laughing AT somebody because of their body. Ugly. And to do it in front of people who were distraught and loved him, unlike Helen... I wrecked the day, she says in surprise. Given her age and size, she may well rival her mother's cousin at death. I guess at that point, she would expect people to just point and laugh at her. That'll be her act.

@@georgielancaster1356 it's the old "maybe if i join in on the bullying they'll stop bullying me for the same reason" logic, when the real answer is for both people to punch the bully in the fucking face
