Sometimes jokes just are not funny, and especially ones that involve children. Comedian Julie Klausner, star of the new Hulu series Difficult People written by Amy Poehler, cracked a joke about Blue Ivy and now the entire show is under attack.
Klausner made a joke saying, “I can’t wait for Blue Ivy to be 18-years-old so R. Kelly can piss on her,” and now fans are calling for the show to be cancelled all together.
Read more below.
Although Amy Poelher wasn’t the one who actually said the joke, she’s also being slammed by critics for writing it. Klausner reached out to Entertainment Weekly and claimed that Amy Poelher was the one who write the joke. She said, “Amy could not have been more hands-on. She did not only give notes on every script, she gave notes on every draft of every outline. She weighed in on casting videos, cast roles. She weighed in on production matters,” adding, “She came up with the title. She would give notes on every single edit, not only of the shows but of the promos, the trailers. She would be involved in every stage of the process in a way that she would go above and beyond.”
Should the show be cancelled due to such an inappropriate joke or is that all part of comedy? Sound off in the comments.

cancel the damn show. Amy was very disrespectful n disgusting. She supposed to be a professional? Smh. She’s an ass.
Cancel the show, thats not comedy thats blatant disrespect.
That’s not even a joke that’s disrespect. We’re dealing with a child. I don’t find any humor in that comment
Jay z and Beyonce need to chill…they act like their daughter is untouchable and its.pretty damn sickening…we all wake up the same no special here
I agree look @ all the BS the President and his family endure day after day. Stop the nonsense !!!
Cancel the show. I agree that Jay and Beyond act like Blue is Royalty, but irregardless of that, she is still a child, and u don’t fuck with children. That’s a no no. That’s just plain old disrespectful. It doesn’t even matter who’s kid it is, u just don’t do it, point blank, and she/they should have known better smh… The ignorance. I’m pretty sure if those people have kids they don’t want people cracking jokes like that about them.
Who care thats comedians do get off jay z and Beyoncé nuts Americas to soft
Oh Please… By the time Ivy Blue is 18…. the only thing R Kelly will be pissing in… Is A Depends Diaper.
Lmmmmmaaaaooo
Are you insensitive fucks kidding me. Not only should it be cancelled some one should catch a beat down for that one. Children should be off limits don’t care who it is. Fire the Bitch and her entire staff. For those who go along with this BS you also should be fired and catch an ass WHUPPING SMH
Ugly joke!! Cancel the show!
Cancel that show, that was so disrespectful and rude.
#CANCEL!! WTF kinda joke is that??? It’s not funny, don’t fuck with people’s kids..
Cancel the show. It’s one thing to be funny and it’s another thing to be disrepectful. That was disrespectful on all levels. It would not be funny if you are a parent and that was your child being disrespected like that.
Oh plz! Stop being so freaking sensitive. So what they cracked a joke about Blue and R. Kelly. Why should the show be canceled?! Shows weren’t canceled when people cracked jokes on Michael Jackson before/after his death! Shows weren’t canceled for making jokes on our presidents of the United States. But because someone makes a joke about Blue is a problem?!Why because her parents are a part of the illuminati its a big deal? You people need to get lifes. They are comedians they make jokes, that’s what they get paid for. Stop being so damn sensitive.
Thank you
That joke was so stupid, at 18 Blu Ivy would be too old for R Kelly to want to piss on…
It’s a joke and on the show the girl is a comedian who tweets it and everyone got pissed (no pun intended) so she deletes the tweet. Comedy is suppose to be offensive that’s what makes it funny.
You people that are saying ” it’s so disrespectful ” “how dare she” and all that other crap are a bunch of absolute morons. It was a joke, that’s what they do, they push boundaries and say off collar things, it’s called comedy. Too bad the same people upset over this weren’t as upset over the actual fact of R. Kelly being a perverted child molester as they are over a stupid joke. I bet your the same people that still buy his music because…..omg, it’s R. Kelly! This nation is full of a bunch of Whitney ass crybabies. ” How dare they disrespect the king and queen Jay Z and Beyoncé? Ha ha ha ha, you are what’s wrong in America today. If you want to be upset about something, how about getting upset about poverty and starvation? Bunch of idiots, go cry to the teacher and get yourself a sympathy trophy!

CANCEl, CANCEL, CANCEL, when celebs go to say something about other people kids they should think first about their own, plain old disrespect
I don’t know the show. But it was a joke that’s what comedians do. I have been to plenty of comedy shows and there have been a bunch of times that stuff has been inappropriate, said to soon after an event. It happens.
That was not a nice thing to say about Blue Ivey or R Kelly. Blue is just a baby and should be excluded from harsh comments as such. It was definitely a comment and not a joke. The show should be cancelled. I won’t watch it.
Yeah they should cancel that Hulu show that’s broadcasted all over cable TV. If Chappelle show got cancelled for its R Kelly joke then so should…oh wait.
Wow some one should catch a beat she she not say at 18 wow it’s still not funny at eighteen plus Any Poehler should sack that actress as she practically threw her under the bus saying she practically ran the whole show the jokes not that bad the person who pointed out R Kelly’s penchant for sexual relations with under age girls in the music industry totally has it right it is comedy people you don’t have to REALLY like all jokes
Wow some one should catch a beat down that’s pretty harsh at eighteen years old how can it be still considered offensive Amy Poehler should sack that actress as she practically threw her under the bus saying she practically ran the whole show the jokes not that bad the person who pointed out R Kelly’s penchant for sexual relations with under age girls in the music industry totally has it right it is comedy people you don’t have to REALLY like all jokes
So many people are saying it was only a joke and no big deal. Must don’t have kids. Or you don’t care to much about them. Because I’d be pissed off if it were my kid. Why is it that people feel the need to mmake fun of a child this poor child has been the root of many jokes and its not right. Cancel it and set an example. Leave that baby alone
Who cares a joke is a joke. She’s a comedian. When blue turns 14 I hope bill Cosby date rapes her. And then the have a boy named red lilly carter and Michael jacksons corspe rapes him. Ease up. You can’t say anything anymore.
Johnefade you’re probobably as dumb as they come with that comment because only a jackass would make a statement like that grow up children needs to be left out of adult conversations but I guess your an infant and needs entertainment
The joke is inappropriate Period!! Let’s just take baby IVY out of the equation…..,saying that about any child is RECKLESS in this world where child molestation, Jared, child pornographers, Jared, and human trafficking which is the most defiant behavior. Children are off limits in Adult situation jokes. Tom Cruise, Anjolina Jolie, Roseanne, Or regular old me (random celebs) etc. would want to see a head rolled out to be stomped ON!!!
Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!! The show is worthless anyway!! FOH!! Children need to he protected from the media scandal, ridicule, slurs, judgements, ASSHOLE COMEDIANS and much more!!
Remember when Alec Baldwin called his daughte a “PIG”?!!!! FOH, yeah you committed SUICIDE, NECROPHILIA, SELF MUTILATION, and A FUCKING LOBOTOMY!!
I bet Amy Poehler would be VERY angry if someone made that same “joke” about 1 of her children. That is disgusting and disrespectful. Shame on the author of the joke & shame on everyone who did not immediately recognize that it was in bad taste & inappropriate because they should have never said it.
If that joke would of been about a regular no body none of this would be happening,
She is a comedian. Get out your feelings. Its a joke. Getting people fired for doing their job is wrong.
This is the problem with the world, you do not have a right to not be offended. It’s a joke, so if it does offend you, GOOD! Cause you’re stupid for being offended in the first place.
F that!!. There are so many diffent topics different things to joke about.. Not about children and especially not about a man peeing on a kid. Not cool.
Blue ivy is a innocent child. Joke or not you don’t joke about peoples kids beyond disrespectful!!!
As an amature comic, I can say there are good jokes and bad jokes it’s all part of the process. Although it may not have been in best taste or even that funny, at the end of the day it was a JOKE, laugh at it or not, cancling a whole show over something someone thought was wrong is dumb, if that’s the case cancel everything in life because everyone has a problem with something. Who cares, Grow up and move on!
CANCEL, CANCEL We are talking about a child AMERICA we need to protect was left and that joke was very rude and disgusting. Doesn’t matter who child it is…Not cool.
I would love for everyone who is speaking on protecting children to join the social services field. If your hearts are as big as you are sharing for children, please help protect those who have been neglected, beaten, molested and so on. We are always looking for more people to protect children and I sure that they never feel unsafe again. Google Social Services and children placements. Thank you
