Comedian Jo Koy has addressed Taylor Swift’s reaction to the joke he made about her at Sunday’s Golden Globes ceremony. Koy’s opening monologue got mixed reviews at best, to the point where he blamed the show’s comedy writers when jokes didn’t hit. But the most devastating burn may have been the silent reaction Swift gave when Koy joked, “The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL? On the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift…” As the clip below amply demonstrates, the singer was not impressed, offering a blank look as she sipped a drink. The response to the joke even led to Koy apologizing. In an interview with “GMA3,” Koy admitted that the Swift joke was “a little flat” and “was a weird joke, I guess.” Still, he insisted that Swift wasn’t the butt of the joke. “I was trying to make fun of the NFL using cutaways and how the Globes didn’t have to do that. So it was more of a jab toward the NFL. But it just didn’t come out that way,” he said. Koy also spoke about the joke with Entertainment Tonight. “Aww, man, it was cute. I was just saying it was cute,” he said. “I was just saying it’s less cutaways, that’s all.” In response, ET correspondent Denny Directo suggested, “Maybe she was thirsty? Maybe she just needed to drink the champagne.” “Aww, man,” Koy replied. Swift has become a regular feature at Kansas City Chiefs games this season after she started dating tight end Travis Kelce. As a result, there have been a lot of cutaways to her in a luxury box and, of course, some criticism about it. Last month, Swift told Time magazine that she doesn’t pay attention to how often or how little the TV cameras show her at the games. “I’m just there to support Travis,” she said. “I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.”

Mom gets last laugh after woman refuses to swaps seats so she can sit by children on plane
There’s a timeless travel dilemma that seems to pop up on nearly every flight: parents asking strangers to swap seats so they can sit with their children. This issue has sparked heated debates online, with opinions divided. Some parents argue that swapping seats is a simple act of kindness, while others firmly believe in the mantra, “you get the seat you pay for; it’s not my problem.” Amidst this ongoing debate, one mom found herself in a similar predicament, but the outcome left her with the last laugh. Cindy Arena, a comedian and mother of two, faced this very challenge during a flight. Unfortunately, she found herself separated from her four and six-year-old children. In a TikTok video, Cindy shared her experience, detailing her attempt to sit with her kids for the journey. Cindy approached the passenger seated next to her children, politely asking if they could swap seats. However, the woman was adamant and refused to move. Cindy recalls in her video, “The woman refused to get up. She refused and my two children at the time were like four and six.” Accepting the situation, Cindy decided not to argue. She stated, “I said okay, no problem. I’m not going to argue,” and proceeded to her assigned seat at the back of the plane. Cindy was content to follow the rules, sitting in the seat printed on her ticket. But it wasn’t long before the woman realized that sitting next to two young children wasn’t exactly a peaceful experience. Cindy recounts, “It was so peaceful, and finally the stewardess comes up because I know she’s coming because this b**ch is sitting next to my kids and there’s nothing fun about that.” The flight attendant approached Cindy with a request from the woman. “Umm ma’am, she would like to trade seats with you now.” Cindy’s response was priceless, and a little bit of “revenge” some might say. “Oh no, no, we need to stay in our assigned seats, have a good flight.” Cindy’s video, which has since garnered over 1.8 million views, left the internet community divided. One viewer commented, “I wasn’t sure what direction this was headed, but it did not disappoint 😂” Others appreciated Cindy’s approach, with one saying, “I love this for you!!!! I hope you enjoyed that break Mama. 🥰😁😂” Another said: “😂😂😂yep did same with mine only one row away he was safe but annoyed that couple the entire flight 😂😂” However, many sided with the woman who refused to swap seats. They argued that it’s the parent’s responsibility to ensure they book seats together. One person expressed, “When I pay extra, I should not have to be punished… It’s the parent’s responsibility to book flights early and in a way so they should stay together.” The sentiment was echoed by others. “I don’t care, I’m not giving up my seat that I paid for. therefore, the parents SHOULD book their seats together and plan ahead. plan ahead!!!!” Another hilariously said: “I’m not giving up my seat😏 for nobody.😏 My headphones will block any noise around me😂” This story is part of the ongoing debate about seat swapping on flights, and shows that sometimes, the best-laid plans can lead to unexpected and humorous outcomes.

British Museum ends terrible year as punchline in Christmas cracker joke
The British Museum has barely been out of the headlines in 2023. First, there was the theft of 1,500 items from its collection and then it found itself in the middle of a diplomatic row over the Parthenon marbles. Now the institution’s annus horribilis has been topped off by becoming the punchline in the year’s most popular Christmas cracker joke. The annual competition, commissioned by the TV channel Gold, asks people to post their festive jokes to X (formerly Twitter) with a winner of the annual poll decided by the British public. This year’s winner was written by Chris Douch from Oxfordshire who managed to combine a joke about the British Museum’s recent travails with a reference to fruity festive confectionery: “Did you hear about the Christmas cake on display in the British Museum? It was Stollen.” The annual competition usually produces a topical winner that sends up one of the biggest stories of the year. In 2020, the winner poked fun at Dominic Cummings and his trip to Barnard Castle during the Covid-19 pandemic. This year the other contenders took aim at the Barbie movie and Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer blockbuster, while the political gags made fun of everything from the crumbling concrete scandal to the cancellation of HS2 and the ongoing rail strikes. Elon Musk was another popular target. The joke that came second in the poll was: “Why is Elon Musk’s Christmas dinner so awkward? He can’t stop talking about his X”, while the sixth-placed entry made fun of his dust-up with Metaverse boss Mark Zuckerberg. “What happened to Mark Zuckerberg’s novelty jumper when he had a cage fight with Elon Musk? He was left with nothing but Threads.” Chair of the judging panel, the comedy critic Bruce Dessau, said: “Despite the tumultuous times of the past year, the British public has once again found the silver, or in this case gold, lining in some cheerful jokes. “This year’s modern Christmas cracker jokes … prove that we are a nation with an unwaveringly inventive sense of humour.” Gerald Casey, Gold channel director, added: “This year has witnessed a wealth of comedic talent in our competition, perfectly combining festive funnies and cultural moments of 2023.” The top 10 jokes: Did you hear about the Christmas cake on display in the British Museum? It was Stollen. Why is Elon Musk’s Christmas dinner so awkward? He can’t stop talking about his X. Why isn’t Barbie having turkey for Christmas dinner this year? Chic-Ken is enough. Why aren’t any schools allowed to put on a nativity this year? They couldn’t find a stable building. What impact will the 20mph speed limit in Wales have on the charts this year? Chris Rea will be driving home for Easter. What happened to Mark Zuckerberg’s novelty jumper when he had a cage fight with Elon Musk? He was left with nothing but Threads. What’s the difference between The Polar Express and HS2? One’s a fantasy about a train and the other’s a film with Tom Hanks. What did Robert Oppenheimer get Barbie for Christmas? Atomic Kenergy. Why are the train drivers on the naughty list this year? Because they’ve already had three strikes! How does Margot Robbie decorate her Nativity scene? With thee wise Ken.
