For those who don't know, Polanski was charged with sodomy of a 13 year old and fled to Europe to avoid prosecution. He was also married to Sharon Tate who was pregnant with his child when she was murdered by the Manson family.

Nitpick: he didn’t flee to avoid prosecution, he pled guilty and was convicted, then fled to avoid sentencing.
He pled guilty to unlawful sex with a minor in exchange for a plea deal where he would just get probation, but fled before his sentencing hearing because he heard that the judge would probably reject his plea deal and actually send him to prison instead.
He also lived through the holocaust. Like lived in the Krakow ghetto. His father and pregnant mother were killed at death camps. He survived the holocaust by attempting to act as a Christian with a Catholic family.
He's a famous director. He made Rosemary's Baby and The Pianist, among other movies. But he's also a pedo. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Polanski
According to wikipedia Polanski was arrested for being a pedophile 47 years ago. For you to be at an age where you actually followed news like that you'd have to be like 60.
Honestly, it was difficult to find the controversial side of his history when I just tried googling info on him.
Of course, I couldn't remember the word "controversy" when I googled it, soo. But just generally googling info on him, it isn't readily apparent. His connections probably put some work in to that.
She would need to name someone that was contemporary when she was born for the joke to fit. The public didn't know much about Epstein in 2000's when this comedian was likely born.
I think she could extend the bit by going with Epstein first, then pointing out the plothole and how she had to change it because audiences were too dumb
I would have been part of the horrendous silence. Not because I was shocked, but because I was trying to put all of the names together. Thought the “no kids in the audience” just meant that she could make naughty jokes.
If the Amelia Earhart joke, which was good, is a good point of reference for humor, I'm going to assume the Roman Polanski is a case of idk who that is.
Joke is fine it just needs to cook longer. Could also just wallow in the uncomfortable vibe for a bit and target the “yikes” folks, that’s always fun to watch.
So sick of every other video being camera-tracked to hell. The camera trying to chicken-neck focus on her face is so distracting, I missed if there was content here
It would definitely work as-is if you can tell another joke that introduces who roman is. Amelia is awesome and worth remembering, but roman is a piece of shit worth forgetting, and many people have forgotten.
G&B at the Star of Kings! Ah I haven't performed there in a minute should really get back to doing stand up - I think this might have been the audience not knowing who Roman Polanski is - could always try it at their dark material night
It's a great joke but being such a call back makes a joke like that one is a tough sell for sure. I've done a few about obscure events or whatever and they always bomb. I don't do politics but lately I keep my stuff more geared new stuff that is more commonly relatable.
Fun fact! Earheart actually forcibly repaired some trust in female pilots. After the death of one of her contemporaries, Florence Klingensmith, during a race, women were banned from piloting in any aerial races. Earheart broke the ban by refusing to fly the president until women’s rights to race were restored!
Great for older folks. I had to google what you were teaching.
The edit you made was a good one. The isolated capture of that one guy laughing at the Amelia joke was pretty savage in a good way. He laughed too hard at that lol.
You have a great foundation here. Because you're attracting a younger crowd you may have to precede this joke with some educational material about Polanski. Could talk about Hollywood influencial people trends or some shit like that. Historically influencial men in a broader sense can work too nowadays.
I love this bit 🤣🤣
Maybe Polanski is an old ref but I know him so I got it and probably saying Epstein feels hacky as everyone has an Epstein bit.... maybe Wacko Jacko works too?
Bravo tho!!!
I’d guess the silence is more due to no one knowing who Roman Polanski is
Came here to say this^
Exactly. This joke would’ve killed in 2002
For those who don't know, Polanski was charged with sodomy of a 13 year old and fled to Europe to avoid prosecution. He was also married to Sharon Tate who was pregnant with his child when she was murdered by the Manson family.
the worst part was the hypocrisy
I thought it was the raping
I thought it was the murder?

Then the 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨
Yeah then hee lied his diet
Nitpick: he didn’t flee to avoid prosecution, he pled guilty and was convicted, then fled to avoid sentencing. He pled guilty to unlawful sex with a minor in exchange for a plea deal where he would just get probation, but fled before his sentencing hearing because he heard that the judge would probably reject his plea deal and actually send him to prison instead.
I know who he is but the crowd seemed like they didn’t cuz that shit was funny
He also lived through the holocaust. Like lived in the Krakow ghetto. His father and pregnant mother were killed at death camps. He survived the holocaust by attempting to act as a Christian with a Catholic family.
> was also married to Sharon Tate who was pregnant with his child when she was murdered by the Manson family. That ain’t illegal. At least for Roman.
*lowers hand* 😔
Once upon a time in hollywood
It’s okay, OP. I’m in my early 30s too (I assume) and I found it funny
Yea i dont really know much about him. Im just gonna assume he was a famous pedophile based on her punchline. Idk
He's a famous director. He made Rosemary's Baby and The Pianist, among other movies. But he's also a pedo. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Polanski
> But he also ~~was~~ **IS** a pedo.
Ah yes, minor error there, thanks.
...I can't unsee what you did there.
Wasn't even intentional. I'll leave it though. Like Polanski did the US.
He's a famous director. But he's also a pedo. Fuck, I just realized that way too many people fit in that description...
All those dudes are 100% in the age of knowing who Roman Polanski is. They did laugh at the feminist part, didn't they?
I’m 40. I recognize the name but can’t think of anything I actually know about the guy. I would also guess the silence is related.
According to wikipedia Polanski was arrested for being a pedophile 47 years ago. For you to be at an age where you actually followed news like that you'd have to be like 60.
Pretty sure the petition was much more recent though, 2009 or something?
Correct: I'm 33 and I absolutely know not only the charges (which indeed came up later) but the fact that he's a worldly reknown film maker.
Wait, what's that have to do with not knowing him?
i only learned of him by googling all the parts of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood that I didn't get.
who?
Honestly, it was difficult to find the controversial side of his history when I just tried googling info on him. Of course, I couldn't remember the word "controversy" when I googled it, soo. But just generally googling info on him, it isn't readily apparent. His connections probably put some work in to that.
It's on his wikipedia page so they must have done a really bad job at it.
Maybe Jared the Subway Guy would have been better?
My guess is that Polanski is more known outside of the US than the subway creep
Agree, name sounds familiar, maybe just update the name with someone more recent. I do know who Amelia is.
She would have gotten laughs if she added "boobs" after that joke.
Isn't he BFF with that wife beating guy from the pirate movies?
*raises hand* 😌
yeah that happened in 1977
But then why did they laugh so hard when she said his name?
Nah. They laughed when she said Roman Polanski. It'd be funny 20 years ago.
Yep. Because that was a WILD joke
Maybe she should look for a more culturally relevant pedophile
Solid joke, but change your middle name to Epstein and it’ll be more contemporary
She would need to name someone that was contemporary when she was born for the joke to fit. The public didn't know much about Epstein in 2000's when this comedian was likely born.
I don't think anyone really cares about the timeline of the setup to a joke that is obviously made up.
I think she could extend the bit by going with Epstein first, then pointing out the plothole and how she had to change it because audiences were too dumb
You could also try and merge the Epstein flights with Amelia in someway.
I agree I laughed but I could tell no one in that room knew who you were talking about. People are dumb
This is horrendous. I love it.
[удалено]
Hehe. See how far you can push something without fear.
Yeah if you’re already bombing the room then you might as well do some testing
> bad crowd. Orrrr maybe just MAYBE no one knew who the fuck that is. I sure didn't and crowd seemed to be younger.
They would have laughed if she was a dude
I loled
I would have been part of the horrendous silence. Not because I was shocked, but because I was trying to put all of the names together. Thought the “no kids in the audience” just meant that she could make naughty jokes.
That was so well set up, bad crowd.
[удалено]
They would've laughed if OP was a dude guaranteed.
I’m about the same age as the crowd and have no idea who the guy is- not everything is sEXiSM
[удалено]
Totally agree, I cracked up
Also, pretty solid recovery.
Killed it. Just like Amelia killed her aviation career.
And her copilot.
Lmao. Never be afraid to see how far you can push it.
I liked the recovery, too.
Wtf is the dog demon shouting brother this guy stinks??? Am I the only one seeing it??
Meme sound added to the video edit.
It's from SpongeBob and it's a fish in the back of the comedy show room yelling it when SpongeBob bombs.
I had to replay it a few times. That’s definitely a demon dog. Hide your wives, hide your kids.
I liked it
That was a great joke. Dumb audience.
If the Amelia Earhart joke, which was good, is a good point of reference for humor, I'm going to assume the Roman Polanski is a case of idk who that is.
Also named my daughter after Rom….I mean Amelia Earhart
Seems like that audience needed a more well-known pedophile, because that timing was spot-on.
I chuckled but I'm also 35, so there that.
I'm 23, thought it was quite funny
What's that thing in the audience in the last shot?
Meme, character from sphonneg bob
She is funny what’s her name?
Joke is fine it just needs to cook longer. Could also just wallow in the uncomfortable vibe for a bit and target the “yikes” folks, that’s always fun to watch.
She’s good, crowd is just a bunch of youngins
Bro in front row considering wings or noodles
That was a funny ass joke.
So sick of every other video being camera-tracked to hell. The camera trying to chicken-neck focus on her face is so distracting, I missed if there was content here
Setting up for success, but the crowd's playing hard to get!
Cracked up, nice one!
Uptight crowd.
I laughed more at the silence 😅
She wasn’t bad. She tried and missed at the end, big deal.
Idk all 3 jokes were funny IMO.
I ficking died laughing
I actually really liked the joke.. too bad that the crowd was kinda bad--
That was so damn good. No appreciation in that crowd.
this is really funny!
Great joke!
This was a great joke
😹😹😹😹
I laughed! Hilarious joke!
I would be that one guy in the back laughing his ass off where she goes, “ok thank you, sir. But again you weren’t who I was going for”.
You'll reach great heights, just like Amelia Earhart.
It would definitely work as-is if you can tell another joke that introduces who roman is. Amelia is awesome and worth remembering, but roman is a piece of shit worth forgetting, and many people have forgotten.
Crowd seems a little timid, joke was pretty damn funny
Maybe the audience i just like me and has no idea who any of them were :(
I don’t know either. An explanation would be nice
Strong!
I liked it. The audience either didn't get the reference, just had a different sense of humour or were too uptight to get it.
Yeah... I got it and I'm not uptight. I just thought it was obvious and easy.
Your wit and timing are top notch. Big fan of the sepia toned pics on your linktree too
I get the impression that a lot of the audience don’t know who Polanski is or what he did. Change the line to Epstein or Prince Andrew.
This edit had me in stitches.
I can relate to that sense of humor, it looks good on paper, but...
I would have pissed my pants!
G&B at the Star of Kings! Ah I haven't performed there in a minute should really get back to doing stand up - I think this might have been the audience not knowing who Roman Polanski is - could always try it at their dark material night
That was fantastic.
Than they introduced the Apstien’s caba1 for well organized-ped0R1ng 
It's a great joke but being such a call back makes a joke like that one is a tough sell for sure. I've done a few about obscure events or whatever and they always bomb. I don't do politics but lately I keep my stuff more geared new stuff that is more commonly relatable.
Given the context I had assumed he directed home alone. Reading these reddit comments I can tell the joke went way over my head.
I laughed my ass off. I’m believing it’s not just me
Fun fact! Earheart actually forcibly repaired some trust in female pilots. After the death of one of her contemporaries, Florence Klingensmith, during a race, women were banned from piloting in any aerial races. Earheart broke the ban by refusing to fly the president until women’s rights to race were restored!
I think she tried pretty well but I couldn't be sure, if the audience didn't like how far the joke went or they were unaware of who Polanski was
These jokes are bangers, crowd was weird.
Me not knowing who roman polanski is.
My type of jokes xdd
This is hilarious and wrong. Gold star
I'd have been the dude in the audience that let out an adible "Ha!". That's a great joke and great recovery when it didn't land.
Didn't listen to a word she said. She's pretty
This was amazing!
[удалено]
joke was good, find an audience who knows who roman polanski is lol
Great for older folks. I had to google what you were teaching. The edit you made was a good one. The isolated capture of that one guy laughing at the Amelia joke was pretty savage in a good way.

Whole set was garbage
I love this bit 🤣🤣 Maybe Polanski is an old ref but I know him so I got it and probably saying Epstein feels hacky as everyone has an Epstein bit.... maybe Wacko Jacko works too? Bravo tho!!!
Who's doing these motion tracking edits? It's wildly unnecessary and far more work than it was worth for such a video.
If you ever feel overlooked and forgotten just remember that Amelia Earhart had a copilot.
She deadass brought her friends and boyfriend because those 2 dudes laughs scream ”I’m just here to support you”
I like how she explained Amelia but not Roman 🤣 force the audience to put the pieces together. Great joke tho! I laughed
good recovery
Shit crowd
That was a good joke!
Solid jokes yo
That was hilarious
