Rebel Wilson Reportedly Deemed 'Not Funny', 'Worst Host' At BAFTAs
Rebel Wilson made her audience laugh when she presented awards in the previous BAFTAs shows. But, when she returned to host this year’s awarding ceremony, criticisms, and not “love for her humor,” were brought back with her.
The New York Post reported that netizens made this point on social media platforms throughout the event. They were said to have deemed the “Pitch Perfect” actress “not funny” at all.
One Twitter user reportedly called her the “worst host” for the show. Another viewer even included a gif of a rolling tumbleweed, alongside the statement “whenever Rebel Wilson makes a joke.”
The outlet, also, said that Piers Morgan shared some of his thoughts about the actress’s “attempt to host the BAFTAs.” He told his followers that he is “cringing so violently” watching her, adding that he feared his eye sockets would explode.
Several other netizens echoed the sentiments of many individuals on the same platform. One quipped that “on behalf of Australia, I would like to apologize for Rebel Wilson’s hosting.”
Another viewer even complained about the matter on the social media platform, saying that the “Isn’t It Romantic” star is “crass, embarrassingly unfunny.” The same individual, later on, added that “there was someone better than a 2nd rate actress to front” the BAFTAs.
The International News recently released a similar report, as well, about Rebel Wilson’s jokes. But, it centered on what she said about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
As explained, the 2022 BAFTAs host made a “cheeky dig” at the former working royals, especially amid the presentation for the best picture category. She stated that “Harry and Meghan’s interview with Oprah had it all,” but it was not nominated for the said award.
The outlet said that the fans of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex seemed “furious” about what Wilson had said. They reportedly “slammed” her for her words about their favorite royals.
Meanwhile, this is not the first time netizens did not find Rebel Wilson funny. Over the years, Redditors have continued to discuss their opinions about the actress’s humor, as well as her jokes.
Several individuals on Reddit believe that the “Hustle” star is not funny at all. Some even shared that they do not understand why people find her hilarious.
A few, also, claimed that Wilson is “annoying.” Others, however, revealed that they do not know her, adding that it pleases them as they never will.
