This is Roseanne Barr. You might know her from her recently cancelled rebooted TV series Roseanne, her 2016 film titled Roseanne for President!, 1999 Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show Host and her Wikipedia article which features a meagre five controversies under the controversies section.

Sure, in 2009 Roseanne posed as Adolf Hitler for a satirical Jewish publication Heeb magazine in the comedically brilliant "That Oven Feelin'" and the Nazi theme was reportedly her suggestion, featuring Barr with a hitler mustache and swastika arm-band holding a tray of burnt gingerbread man cookies (referred to in the article as "burnt Jew cookies").

But it was just comedy, cheer up everyone, what the fuck is wrong with you? The world is so politically correct with the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements, transgender gender fluidity and Kanye West, that we've all forgotten how to laugh at horrible historic events of mass suffering.

If we can't laugh about the pain and suffering Hitler exacted on innocent human beings, almost wiping out the Jewish population and subjecting them to experiments, torture and gassing men, women and children, what can we laugh at really?

And sure, Roseanne doxed George Zimmerman's parents who is known for fatally shooting black teenager Travon Martin and was later acquited, by Tweeting out their address and phone number in 2012. Once again, more high IQ from the queen of academic humour goes over everyone's stupid heads.

The problem is Roseanne's humour is so high-level and intelligent, people are just too stupid to truly understand it. If you're fortunate enough to have a PhD in something, Roseanne's jokes are hilarious and insightful. If you're an uneducated pleb who sits around posting on Steemit all day, the humour is lost on you.

And more recently, Roseanne delighted her fans and intellectual right-wing admirers with another comedic bomb of hilarity.

On May 29, Roseanne Tweeted about Valerie Jarrett who was a senior advisor to former President Obama, which went:

muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj

One second, a little pee just came out of me and I have to change my pants...

What Roseanne was trying to draw attention to the depleting helium reserves and how US federal reserve amounts of helium could be depleted by 2020. Barr was also pointing out that Planet of The Apes is the same as Muslim terrorists because it was such a poor film compared to the original released in 1968.

And just when you think Roseanne is done with her comedy routine, she continues in later Tweets:

ISLAM is not a RACE, lefties. Islam includes EVERY RACE of people

Oops, more pee just came out. Damn Roseanne, you're going to dehydrate me with laughter

Later that day ABC canceled her rebooted show Roseanne in response to the Tweet. All mentions of the show and its content were removed from the ABC website. ABC president Channing Dungey said Barr's remark was "abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values".

With a name like Channing Dungey, you think he could take a joke. What a buzzkill, man. Once again, Roseanne's intellectual brand of humour is misunderstood by the idiotic masses who laugh at fart jokes.

So, while we all refuse to laugh at Roseanne, just remember when the Helium crisis reaches a pinnacle in 2020, don't say that Roseanne didn't warn us through her hardened brand of humour. We are all doomed and I hope you are happy.

Conclusion

Roseanne might be an old racist Holocaust denying piece of shit, but that's only because her comedy is misunderstood and she is smarter than us all. Bow your head in shame for not laughing at Roseanne's jokes you politically correct loving cashew nut and perish in the flames of humourless discontent.
