Roseanne Barr Shared What She Wanted People to Call Her

Roseanne Barr Shared How to Get the Perfect Guy
On Season 1 of Roseanne, the 71-year-old stand-up comedian immediately left a hilarious quote about a "perfect guy."
"A guy is a lump like a doughnut," she started her tirade. "So, first you gotta get rid of all the stuff his mom did to him. And then you gotta get rid of all that macho c--- that they pick up from beer commercials. And then there's my personal favorite, the male ego."

Barr wrote in a 2010 blog post how much she wanted to run the world amid her attempts to push the legalization of marijuana.
"I'm tired of watching as men destroy all the world. Everything used to be beautiful when women were in charge, and now I, working as the physical manifestation of the goddess Isis and the reincarnation of Cleopatra, have decided to save the world," she quipped.
Months later, she spoke with Jay Leno on The Tonight Show after declaring her candidacy for president.
"I definitely want to be in the debates and if I'm not accepted in the debates then I'm just going to photoshop myself in anyway," she added. "All you have to do I figure to be president is show up and give a speech. And I'm really good at speeches."

Donald Trump Is Funny
In 2023, Barr met Donald Trump's son Donald Trump Jr. and told him how funny the former president was.
"He is so hilarious, and I think that is part of why they hate him. They hate humor," she shared. "They don't have any sense of humor about themselves — right there that is what a fascist is. Someone in power who has no ability to laugh at themselves, has no self-reflection; they look in the mirror and there is nothing there."
The author continued, "If you can't laugh at yourself, you don't have a soul. Your dad laughs at himself and everyone else and he makes everyone laugh. He has the heart of the comedian, which is why we all love him because he's so funny!"
