Yeah, that's like Daily Show level social commentary.

Most Brits are pretty forthcoming about their country's history, so I doubt they'd even consider that a burn. They'd probably just reply with "yes...?".

The story of the doll had me dying!! Whoever sent it is an evil genius lol

[@TheRaamittv]

May be you were dying because it was haunted.

[@DemocratSocialistRob]

Maybe the producers sent it to just get more clout and people to subscribe to their Patreon?

[@JimC]

Even if it's totally a bit (including the part about her brother sending it), it's still hilarious!

[@DemocratSocialistRob]

@@JimC oh I agree, just tying it all together in a nice knot. It also feels like something the producers would totally miss and a fan would absolutely do.

"And apparently this doll and the other doll are brothers. I f****** can't. So tonight I am generously gifting this doll to the winner, and lucky you this one talks but only you can hear it!" 🤣

Would be nice if Jess could actually represent Dropout's values instead of joyously jumping in with Taylor and her dipshit writing team to attack another female comedian that they didn't bother to research on in the slightest.

Dropouts own jess McKenna. Spectacular to see her doing more and more.

[@pantitapalittapongarnpim1581]

[@blairbrown4812]

10:02 "This is an accurate representation of how the monarchy 👑views themselves:obviously covered in blood, yet somehow no blood on their hands." If @fter Midnight is canceled tomorrow and forgotten by the vast majority of the viewing public, it should have to be remembered for that memorable Taylor Tomlinson line alone.

[@jenniferziegenfuss3719]

Well Charles DID say years ago that he wanted to be Camilla's tampon....so he finally got his tampon cosplay wish.

[@chovue2363]

ill never forget colton dunns quote from superstore, " i only do the bare minimum, but ill never do anything less!" 😂

[@almogdov]

Can't express my delight at seeing that doll lol

[@wirelesmike73]

Most haunted dolls have more of a horror movie appearance. But, Taylor's haunted doll has a 'inappropriate, discount birthday party magician' vibe. You just know that whoever makes those things models them after himself, and he has a rap sheet that reads like a whole season of Kids in the Hall. Somehow, it's even creepier than Prince Charels' Vigo the Carpathian portrate.

[@davidquintanilla3267]

OMG CAROLINE KONSTNAR !!!!! SHE’S ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS !!!!!!!!

[@ethanmckinney203]

"OK, time to see if we smile. Roll the tape, Jack!" Cuts directly to a Ryan Reynolds Mint Mobile ad. Professionally perfect timing.

[@minmax9163]

What they failed to realize is how Caroline Konstnar's whole "Patreon" ad was also part of the schtick. The girl has been a subversive comedic genius for years

[@laughingaardvark3128]

That portrait! You know when he dies it will become haunted and the amount of red in the painting will fluctuate depending on how many people have died a bloody death in the building that year.

[@tremkl]

No, Jess, we all know (and love) you from Welcome to Mountport! Heart❤🐟

[@brandonguthrie6511]

Jess McKenna?! I'm in!

[@pierfrancescocosta6336]

I recognized that girl in the first clip from a comedy channel here on KZbin, Best Friends Today! I ran into their videos every once in a while, and it's pretty much inspired by the Eric Andre Show, being centered around surreal comedy. Still, Taylor's right about this joke going too far, because it's virtually impossible not to wonder what on earth Caroline was thinking... 😅

[@dumbalek6001]

I was waiting for Dropout talent to star showing up, I'm so happy to see Jess here 💖

[@davidquintanilla3267]

Please Taylor, look up Caroline konstnar !!!! Hire her !!!

[@casualpotato44]

The fake pregnancy is so fucked up out of context. With context, it's still fucked up, but you'll know it's on brand. If you haven't seen them, Caroline has a top tier musical comedy stuff, they're edgy and shitpost level, but they're damn good. Lol

[@JewettMusic]

Caroline Konstnar is a troll, I wouldn't have believed her in the first place. Beautiful.

[@longhorsestudios]

She literally made it painfully obvious that it was a joke my guy. The bit was to humiliate parasocial creeps that have been hounding her since she was a literal child. The fact that After Midnight clearly did zero research on her other than watching the single video of her going in on the bit and ending it with the punchline that it was for her Patreon only works if you are a fan of her comedy, but don't follow her personal life like a parasocial creep. You've never had to be a young woman dealing with the full force of the creeps on the internet. Taylor was in standup, she didn't grow up in the crucible of the internet. Jess didn't grow up in the crucible of internet exposure either. She was on a stage doing plays. Caroline didn't have that. All these creeps claiming they were "empathizing" with Caroline when she was doing a clear bit about being pregnant are bullshit, lying narcissists. There were breadcrumbs that it was a joke in every video she did and everything she was doing with Best Friends Today as well - including leaving a literal Amazon tab open center frame for a pregnancy belly in an episode. The only way you could've possibly missed this is if you were engaging with her being pregnant in a parasocial way instead of actually watching her content where it was crystal clear it was a bit, even down to her talking about how much she dislikes parasocial fans. You're not "empathzing" with a pregnant stranger on the internet whose comedy you half-watch. That's not a real emotion. You're engaging in 'performative empathy' that's really just about you publicly signaling to other people how empathetic and virtuous you are. This is ACTUAL virtue signaling and it is done by narcissists trying to get an ego boost, not people actually "empathizing" with a performer they don't even fucking know. They're empathizing with their interpretation of that performer. They're not engaging with the performer on the merit of their work and Caroline didn't want fans like that (which she made crystal clear). You can respect that boundary and actually show you truly empathize with her situation and just go "oh okay, I got this comedian wrong and they're not for me and my brain type" or you can get upset and slander/libel her without actually understanding what's going on because it embarrassed you. Anyone in the latter group isn't really worth giving the time of day to because they're just parasocial creeps anyway.
