Jess Phillips and Spitting Image

[bitchstewie]

What the actual fk were they thinking

Spitting Image sparks backlash over 'horrible' sketch of Jess Phillips as a superhero using her 'big v*g' and 'big t*ts' to fight crime - despite Labour MP being target of death and rape threats

I really can't work out who thought that was a good idea.

What the bloody hell

Plus I didn’t know Jess Phillips had a Japanese-Geordie accent

[Eric Mc]

Who is Jess Phillips and what does she do?

[Ian Geary]

I don't understand any of that

[pquinn]

Assuming it's from some people who think she's the wrong sort of left wing? Or is the whole 'feminist' bit the bigger clue?

Just given the program and the viciousness of it it smells idiological.

Wasn't Spitting Image always vicious? I was young but still remember things like I've never met a nice South African.

I thought it was hilarous. Much better than the unfunny stuff they opened with last year. Keep it up.

The new one is mostly just st. Possibly because the real world has basically become Spitting Image.

It's written by "right wing" comedians.
So it's a cheap attempt at being seen to be anti-woke.

Ah ha ha is it the wrong kind of humour Stewie... pop a cold war Steve picture up that will make you feel better...

[Toyoda]

Leftie offended by anti Leftie humour. What a waste of a post.

I think it's safe to say she's not a superhero...

Probably the best the Labour Party has in its ranks currently…

Damning with faint praise.

(I don't mind her as politicians go. Don't agree with plenty she comes out with, but she's always seemed to be one of the more honest MPs who seems to want to help others).

The clip is on the spitting image yt channel. Probably worth a watch to get a little more context.

Yes, I thought it was quite funny 7.5/10. In terms of offences…did it even offer any?

I think the only issue I would have with it is that it's about as funny as a bout of norovirus.

[Superflow]

Same here. I'm not sure why but it made me think of the type of toilet humour that boys going through puberty seem to enjoy, like a slightly crappy version of Viz.
