Julie Andrews is generally fabulous.

That's part of the joke (I don't think it works as well if the subject is lecherous scum, or Frank from accounting) but to each their own!

I kind of get what they were going for, but I guess I just didn’t find it all that funny or clever. Kind of a dud. The fact that she starred in SOB showing her boobs, and played a drag king in Victor Victoria demonstrates she’s not just squeaky clean Mary Poppins. I also don’t think Gen Z runs around labeling everyone and everything as problematic. Sounds like something someone out of touch from Babylon Bee would come up with.

Holy hell, that cast list. That's a who's who of 1981 movie stars. And damn, I was born the year Julie Andrews showed us her tits. Hmmm...

Sounds like the joke wasn't aimed at you.

I suspect you don't get the joke, because you are the joke.
