Jimmy Kimmel ROASTS MTG for Calling the Police on Him, Trump LOSES IT | HO
Ever wonder what happens when a comedian’s joke hits too close to home for a politician? Well, buckle up folks, cause Jimmy Kimmel just found out the hard way.
Seems like MTG can’t take a joke about space lasers without calling the cops. But wait till you hear how Kimmel fired back and had the last laugh.
Alright, folks, buckle up because we’re about to dive into the joke that set the internet on fire faster than you can say “Jewish space laser.” Our man Jimmy Kimmel, the late-night comedian with a knack for getting under politicians’ skin, decided to take a swing at everyone’s favorite conspiracy theorist, Marjorie Taylor Greene.
In the world of late-night television, there are few things as satisfying as a political roast, and when comedian Jimmy Kimmel takes aim, you know you’re in for a wild ride.
Recently, Kimmel found himself at the center of a hilarious, yet chaotic, spectacle involving none other than Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG), the controversial Congresswoman known for her wild conspiracy theories, and former President Donald Trump.
And while the political duo might have thought they could shut down Kimmel’s humor, they were sadly mistaken. What followed was a full-blown comedy showdown that has the internet buzzing, with Kimmel effortlessly stealing the spotlight. Let’s dive in.
It all started with a joke. As part of his nightly monologue, Jimmy Kimmel poked fun at Marjorie Taylor Greene’s infamous belief in “Jewish space lasers” and her overall eccentric conspiracy-laden worldview. He couldn’t resist taking a shot at her, especially when she recently made headlines once again for her outrageous claims.
In his typical biting, yet light-hearted style, Kimmel joked, “Where is Will Smith when you really need him?” This quip referenced the infamous Oscar moment when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock, suggesting that perhaps MTG could use a slap to knock some sense into her. It was, of course, a joke, but that was enough to set the stage for an internet meltdown.
Anyone familiar with the political scene knows that Marjorie Taylor Greene isn’t exactly known for her thick skin. In fact, she’s earned a reputation for being quick to fire back at anyone who challenges her views, no matter how ridiculous. But this time, her response was something else entirely.
Instead of laughing off the joke as most people would, Greene took it to a new level. She posted a series of furious tweets, accusing Kimmel of threatening her and claiming that “this is what happens when you’re a woman in America.” Talk about an overreaction. But it didn’t end there.
In a move that left people scratching their heads, MTG actually went ahead and called the Capitol Police, claiming that Jimmy Kimmel’s joke was an act of violence. Yes, you read that right: she contacted law enforcement over a joke. This was, as you can imagine, a move that most people would find ridiculous, considering that the Capitol Police have much more pressing matters to deal with than investigating late-night comedians.
Still, MTG wasn’t backing down, and she proceeded to escalate the situation, filing a formal complaint about the “threat of violence” she allegedly faced from Kimmel’s quip.
As you might expect, Jimmy Kimmel wasn’t going to let this go. Instead of shrinking away from the controversy, he leaned into it. The comedian quickly responded on his show, mocking Greene’s decision to involve the police. In his signature sarcastic style, Kimmel said, “Oh, if she’s going to report me to the police, I’ll report you right back… to the Justice League.” It was a hilarious burn, and it only added fuel to the fire. Kimmel, always ready for a comedic opportunity, found himself with a new wave of material.
To make matters even better, Kimmel had a field day with the entire situation. He joked that Marjorie Taylor Greene’s behavior was like something out of a comic book, with her playing the role of a villain whose actions were so outlandish, they were worthy of their own Hollywood blockbuster. “Do you know what a vomit you have to be to get called out by Marjorie Taylor Greene?” Kimmel quipped, and the audience erupted in laughter. The absurdity of the situation only made Kimmel’s punchlines that much sharper.
Just when it seemed like things couldn’t get any crazier, former President Donald Trump decided to weigh in on the drama. Predictably, Trump sided with Greene and took to Truth Social to criticize Kimmel. His insult? Calling Kimmel a “failed comedian.” Ouch. While that was supposed to be a burn, it fell flatter than a pancake.
I mean, come on, this is a guy whose sense of humor includes mocking people’s physical appearances and trying to pass off insults as jokes. Trump, who has never been known for his wit or charm, was hardly in a position to lecture anyone on comedy.
It’s worth noting that Trump’s own track record with humor is, well, let’s say, questionable at best. If anyone’s familiar with his attempts at comedy, they know it typically involves snarky remarks or bizarre, unfunny rants. So, when Trump accused Kimmel of being a “failed comedian,” it was like the pot calling the kettle black, especially considering his own comedic attempts are about as successful as his ventures into the hospitality industry (which, let’s be honest, is a disaster).
What’s interesting about this entire situation is that it highlights the power of satire and humor in a democratic society. The more MTG and Trump tried to silence the jokes, the more the internet rallied around Kimmel, supporting his right to make fun of politicians. It was like watching a live demonstration of the internet’s ability to fight back against attempts to stifle free speech.
Even other late-night hosts couldn’t resist joining the fun. Stephen Colbert took a shot, quipping, “MTG called the cops on a joke? I guess she really is pro-life—she wants to give birth to a punchline.” Ouch, that one hurt. Meanwhile, Trevor Noah compared Trump’s defense of MTG to the Titanic trying to rescue the Hindenburg—an image that stuck in people’s minds like glue.
At the end of the day, what this whole debacle shows is that humor is a powerful tool in holding politicians accountable. Despite all their efforts to silence jokes and mockery, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump only ended up amplifying the very thing they sought to stop: comedy. In fact, they became the stars of their own comedy show, providing endless material for comedians and late-night hosts.
This saga is a reminder that political satire is not just for entertainment—it’s an essential part of democracy. It’s a way for people to speak truth to power, to question authority, and to hold politicians accountable, all while having a good laugh. And in this case, the laughter is loud and clear. Kimmel’s roast of MTG and Trump not only provided a much-needed dose of humor but also showed the world that, when it comes to taking down thin-skinned politicians, laughter is the best weapon in our arsenal.
So, the next time a politician tries to silence a joke, just remember: keep laughing. Because in the end, laughter always wins.
