I don’t mean that the joke just isn’t funny, I want to know a joke that almost makes you want to fast-forward through the scene.

Hawk Tua
Not a sitcom joke (yet…) but wow yeah. A moderately funny joke for about a day, but the memes have been tiresome since.
The poor girl allegedly lost her job as a preschool teacher over it, too.

Know Your Meme says the firing is a false rumor. I don’t even know that she works at a preschool… because I have not and will not research that… because I am lazy.
Probably not. The source for that was the same hoax Facebook post that announced she had been fired.

Tupoah Country Tribune is a satirical site. The picture you linked is about halfway down this article:

She’s apparently making a small fortune selling merch.
Oh that’s good to hear. And somewhat surprising, considering how easily memes get ripped off by random strangers for profit.
I genuinely don’t know what I’m supposed to do with that information. It was an outlandish thing to say and arguably funny. Plus, she knew she was being recorded and maybe even signed a release.
Am I supposed to be angry at the person interviewing people on the street? Other people for sharing it? Her former employer? Myself for laughing?
It turned out to be from a “satire” news company (scare quotes because I just don’t see how it was satire…it’s not poking fun at any institutions or beliefs or advocating for any particular action), and not a real story.
But it’s worth investigating how we feel about it anyway, because stories where something similar has happened have also been true.
I think the people doing the interviews are the lowest scum-tier “influencers”. I hate that they exist, I can’t understand who’s watching them. They’re not producing anything of value. But they’re not doing anything morally wrong, in my opinion.
The blame here lies 100% on the employer. What she’s doing when not on company time or in company uniform are none of the company’s business. It should not be legal and is definitely not ethical for an employer to take any disciplinary action for something an employee does that has no connection to their business.
