Ellen DeGeneres mocked on Twitter after Playstation joke flops

‘Pay your writers so you get better jokes than this,’ one user said

www.independent.co.uk

Doesn't go well

I'm not offended by the joke or anything (it's just not funny), but celebrities trying to understand and cash in on this phenomenon and failing is its own brand of delicious schadenfreude







Last month, however, it was reported that the show’s audience had dropped by 37 per cent in the wake of the bully and discrimination allegations behind the scenes.

Delete Twitter.

Actually delete all social media.

[Abriael_GN]

[AnotherOne]

Fuck that old gargoyle

PS6*

Fakest cunt I have ever seen in showbiz.

DeGeneres said: “200 years in the future… ‘Honey, have you seen my iPhone 378? I need it to preorder my PS6.’”

I'm a coomer for boomer humour

I don't get it, are you sure it's a PlayStation joke? or you read things just because you don't like her? maybe it's because of the insane amount of times an iPhone (and any big Android phone line) is "refreshed".

Why is anyone offended? Just don't do twitter, you will be saner.

 

[AJUMP23]

This probably landed with her target demographic. What is up Fellow Kids.

 

[TheKratos]

Oi you can't make fun of PlayStation!

 

[BigBooper]

Is it a joke?

I’m just glad my PS5 is going to last 200 years. Awesome.

 

[oldergamer]

Anyone that gets offended by that Ellen post, has some serious problems.

 

[Garret Bobby Ferguson]

I don't get mad at people making jokes but I don't see a punchline or anything even witty about this lol. I genuinely don't understand what was supposed to be funny about this

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

Sick burn on iphone.

 

[John Day]

Yeah... the joke doesn’t seem to be on Sony, rather it seems aimed at all the Iphone iterations every year or so.

Still not quite funny, though, very cringe

 

[teezzy]

I don't think Ellen DeGeneres has ever made me laugh once. She's an atrocious comedian and apparently just a lackluster person overall

 

[Northeastmonk]

I think some people think this way. They aren’t into gaming at all and they see electronics come out all the time. You tell them why a console cycle isn’t a year long, but all they know is a new iPhone came out.

The joke is probably for her non-gaming fans or those who only dabble with technology news.

 

[Elektro Demon]

The joke is on Apple but it's still not funny.

Ah, that makes sense. More like a Paul Harvey quip than a joke.

 

[SoggyBiscuit]

Numbers go up make funny

Is Ellen a #gamer?

It's a joke with the topic of PlayStation and iPhone? Was that how I was supposed to phrase it? I'm not offended on behalf of the brand if that's what you're imagining, some of the responses are just funny. It's just a dud joke between iPhones and consoles.

And who exactly is offended? People accusing others of reading into things always be reading into things

 

[ManofOne]

"Hey honey have you seen my Iphone 378, just need to delete all the evidence of abuse."

 

[Sub_Level]

Using a smartphone in 2220 instead of your built-in cybernetic telecom module lmao dumb bitch

 

[Blond]

How do you do fellow kids?

 

[V1LÆM]

shut it ellen

 

[EverydayBeast]

You got the best name in gaming and all the jokes are on PlayStation? Should be a joke on Xbox “Series X” sounds like a heavy dose of a vaccine

HAHAHA. got two letters for ya kid

[DeepEnigma]

Clearly a sign of her not paying her writers.

 

[SuperBabyMethod]

The joke sucked and so did the replies.
Delete Twitter. Please.

 

[Spaceman292]

What's the problem? Seems like she's just saying that new iphones come along more often than playstations.

 

[eddie4]

you lost me at 'ellen makes a joke'

 

[#Phonepunk#]

genetic dead end desperately tries to seem relevant

 

[LordOfChaos]

There is no problem, and I don't see anyone that's offended. It's merely a dud joke with some funny responses.

There isn't any problem. But, we have to comment on everything any time, any where on something because....reasons.

 

[Stouffers]

I don’t get it. Why would anyone buy a PlayStation?

 

[GymWolf]

 

[triplestation]

ellen should start a youtube cooking show where all she does it chop meat in complete silence

Show some empathy guys, these celebrities are going through rough, attention starved times.
