the popular and uplifting<\/em><\/strong> (inspirational) netflix<\/strong> series unbreakable kimmy schmidt<\/strong><\/em> is not uplifting for everybody.<\/p>\n

\"unbreakable<\/a><\/p>\n

when\u00a0fredric brandt<\/strong>, a dermatologist\u00a0with\u00a0celebrity clients who is\u00a0considered\u00a0a “pioneer in the use of botox” committed\u00a0suicide last month,\u00a0ran\u00a0this headline<\/p>\n

Surgeon suicide after mocked<\/em> on Tina\u2019s Fey\u2019s comedy \u2018Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt\u2019<\/h2>\n

and reported that<\/p>\n

brandt was upset<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>about martin short\u2019s portrayal<\/em> of a nutty<\/em> plastic surgeon on the hit comedy, but it was not the cause of his death.<\/h4>\n

upset<\/strong><\/em> means emotionally affected in a negative way<\/em>. nutty<\/strong><\/em> means crazy<\/em> or eccentric<\/em>.\u00a0portrayal<\/em><\/strong> means representation<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"UNBREAKABLE<\/a><\/h6>\n
kimmy schmidt meets her boss’s nutty<\/span> plastic surgeon<\/em><\/h6>\n

according to brandt’s publicist<\/p>\n

the show definitely deeply hurt<\/em> him, he was being made fun of\u00a0<\/em>because of the way he looks.<\/h4>\n

made fun of<\/strong> <\/em>and mocked<\/strong><\/em> both mean laughed at<\/em>. hurt<\/strong> <\/em>means injured<\/em> or damaged<\/em>, in this case emotionally.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

the parody mentioned is from the episode kimmy goes to the doctor<\/em><\/strong>. martin short<\/strong> has a brief\u00a0but memorable appearance as the\u00a0oddball<\/strong><\/em> (eccentric) plastic surgeon, dr. franff.<\/p>\n

dr. franff looks like he has had too much<\/a>\u00a0plastic surgery done on his own face. his cheeks and mouth don’t move naturally so he is difficult to understand, but the second thing he says to kimmy is<\/p>\n

these frown<\/em> lines are flubbed up<\/em><\/h4>\n

frown<\/strong><\/em> is the opposite of smile. flub up<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0indicates a mistake. dr. franff uses it to try to convince kimmy that he can fix her frown lines.<\/p>\n

as mentioned in the headline from news.com.au, tina fey<\/strong> is the creator of unbreakable kimmy schmidt<\/em>. when she was liz lemon on 30 rock<\/strong> <\/em>she sang this optimistic song about frowns <\/em>in s4 e12<\/p>\n

that martin short is known for creating\u00a0absurd characters like\u00a0dr. franff who are<\/p>\n

rooted in some shred<\/em> of reality<\/h4>\n

and that he<\/p>\n

typically draws praise<\/a> for these portrayals<\/em><\/h4>\n

shred<\/strong><\/em> means a very small amount<\/em>.<\/p>\n

shortthat comedians should think about boundaries<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0(limits<\/em>) when doing a parody, but that the possibility of offending someone shouldn\u2019t prohibit a sketch<\/p>\n

\n

i think u should try to be aware<\/em> and try to be sensitive<\/h4>\n

aware<\/strong><\/em> is similar to conscious<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"baba\"\"<\/a><\/h6>\n
baba wawa & barbara walters<\/em><\/h6>\n

to support his point, short mentioned baba wawa, gilda radner<\/strong>\u2019s famous parody of tv journalist barbara walters<\/strong>\u00a0from\u00a0the\u00a0sketch comedy show saturday night live<\/strong><\/p>\n

walters hated the impersonation at first before later embracing<\/em> it… however, [walters] never acknowledged that [radner] shouldn\u2019t have done<\/em> it<\/em><\/a>. that\u2019s really what it is.<\/h4>\n

embrace<\/strong><\/em> <\/a>is another way to say\u00a0hug<\/em> and in this context\u00a0means accept enthusiastically<\/em>. shouldn’t have done it<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is another great example<\/a> of how to talk about\u00a0a hypothetical situation in the past.<\/p>\n

in this video walters admits she hated baba wawa, but that she eventually (and literally)\u00a0embraced<\/em> gilda radner as well as the\u00a0parody.<\/p>\n
