Last night, the Oscars lit up not just with the glamour of Hollywood’s finest but also with the sharp humor of host Jimmy Kimmel.
He took aim at none other than Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, reminding everyone that while they might be out of the royal spotlight, they’re still a favorite target for jokes.
Kimmel’s comedic flair was evident as he poked fun at the couple during a night that was supposed to celebrate cinematic achievements.
Kimmel, who has become a familiar face at the Oscars, didn’t shy away from the opportunity to bring up the couple’s ongoing saga.
In a night filled with accolades and emotional speeches, his quips about Harry and Meghan added a dose of levity.
While the couple might have been absent from the ceremony, their presence was felt through Kimmel’s witty remarks, which ensured they remained in the public eye, albeit in a less-than-flattering light.
Among his many jokes, Kimmel took jabs at various topics, including the less-than-stellar reception of the film Madame Webb and the notable snub of Greta Gerwig for her work on Barbie.
Yet, it was his comments about Harry and Meghan that really stood out, illustrating how the ex-royals have become a staple in the comedy circuit.
They are, after all, always good for a laugh.
Kimmel’s humor didn’t stop there.
He previously entertained audiences with his satirical children’s book titled “Prince and p-nis,” which humorously revisited Harry’s embarrassing revelation about his frostbitten private parts.
The absurdity of discussing such personal details on a global stage only adds to the couple’s ongoing narrative in the pop culture landscape.
The roast didn’t merely focus on Harry’s frosty adventures; it expanded to critique the couple’s attempts to carve out a niche in Hollywood.
Their journey from royal life to Tinseltown has been anything but smooth, often drawing more ridicule than respect.
Critics have labeled them as Hollywood’s biggest flops, and Kimmel’s jokes only added fuel to that fire.
With their every move scrutinized, Harry and Meghan have unwittingly become a source of endless material for comedians and commentators.
Their attempts to rebrand themselves in the media have often backfired, leading to a growing sense of fatigue among audiences.
As they continue to navigate their post-royal lives, their missteps have become fodder for late-night jokes.
Bill Simmons, a prominent sports commentator, didn’t hold back either, referring to them as “effing grifters” during a candid moment on his podcast.
His encounter with Harry, who was trying to make a name for himself in the podcasting world, was marked by confusion and disbelief, further highlighting the couple’s struggles.
As Kimmel held court at the Oscars, it became clear that Harry and Meghan’s melodrama has turned them into the b-tt of many jokes.
Their narrative, filled with complaints and grievances, has begun to wear thin with the American public.
Royal author Phil Dampier pointed out that their constant presence in the comedy spotlight could jeopardize any remaining efforts to reshape their image.
While Hollywood celebrated its stars, Harry and Meghan found themselves cast aside, reduced to punchlines in Kimmel’s comedic routine.
