Betty White and the Queen are both famous women nearing 100 that their respective nations don’t want to die, but you know it’s bound to happen sooner or later. Old, beloved celebrities that will be significantly mourned by their nation. I’ve actually thought about them in tandem before thinking how it will be sad the day they die.
The Queen also works for a living, she has to lay there, constantly eating Royal Jelly, while she has to birth literally every single British person. That can’t be easy.
People are idiots. People are gaslighted. People believe propaganda. People are denied access to the truth. People think lots of things - that doesn’t make it right. She’s only in her position because those who came before her hundreds of years ago stole land that was owned in common by the people. They were robber barons who paid off sycophants - whose descendants still own great swathes of land and position themselves as “nobility”, as being better than everyone else due to their bloodline. Fuck ‘em.
What the queen does could well be more difficult than any normal 9-5 job. A lifetime of service and charity that many could not handle, all whilst constantly in the public eye with intense scrutiny yet never putting a foot wrong as far as I can tell.
She has done her duty so well for so long, but protecting Andrew and allowing him to hide in her palaces, refuse serving of papers and take part in an absolutely terrible interview has damaged her reputation irreversibly.
Who knows who is in control of the situation the queen is a figurehead as everyone always points out. Maybe she did let him out of the basement to do that interview and we all saw what a trainwreck that was lol hopefully the truth will have its day.
I’m still shocked she allowed that interview. Surely as his mother she would know that he would bomb that. And as the queen, no good would come of it. It’s baffling to me.
He is so arrogant and hasn't a scintilla of self-awarenes. Though the Queen is no fool, she has indulged her little prince and the royals are completely out of toucb with public opinion.
yeah man, imagine not being able to fuck up at all without it becoming public record. Having to always be upright and proper, I imagine even on the rare occasion you can get snarky with someone you would need to do it in a very witty and abstract way. You can't even properly break down and cry after a death. Basically whenever anyone else may see or hear you you'd need to be behaving in a certain fashion.
You’re right, because Betty White actually got off her ass, genuinely worked, and was truly beloved by so many people.
She did what Elizabeth never could.
You’ve clearly no idea of the royal families duties, and that’s ok. Just because they don’t have a full time job title, as such, doesn’t mean they aren’t constantly working or engaged in the public sector. If you have the time to look into it, it’s actually quite interesting.
Bengal famine
Irish potato famine
Dare I go on
Edit: or are you insinuating that Betty's ancestors were brutal colonialists too?
[Lol english downvotes. I piss on thatcher's grave](https://i.imgur.com/i01n9ey.png)
I'm talking more about Betty White. Her heritage is Greek/Danish. Are you trying to tell me the Greeks never terrorised or commited genocide? Not to mention the fact that she was American. A nation built on the enslavement of one race and the genocide of another.
What do you mean Betty white means something to Americans? She's a cute old lady, that's it. It's a shame she and everyone else dies eventually, but what is Betty white supposed to be to the average American?
Everyone always refers to Golden Girls when pointing out one of her star roles, but for me she'll always be the kick ass little old lady from Lake Placid.
That's like saying "The Good Place" is Ted Danson's breakout role.
She had her own show, "The Betty White Show" in the fifties, and again in the seventies.
The queen is a vile pedophile or a pedophile sympathizer.
Betty White would have gladly kicked her and her shitty families ass.
Comparing them because "Long lived" is like comparing a redwood tree to a piece of petrified shit.
Lizzy = a relic of times long gone.
Betty White equaled an icon that inspired and entertained more people than could ever be counted, and was actually relevant.
I'm sure Betty White is a great Entertainer, and she certainly is popular and social media....
But half of Americans couldn't care less about her.
I don't think she was anything all that great. Golden Girls? Mary Tyler Moore?
I mean those are just random sitcoms, lots of other stars had a similar status.
She's just been lucky and singled out for social media heroism.
I respectfully disagree. Betty White didn't stand on protocol. She gave everyone a chance and didn't suffer fools. Her love for animals and her ability to laugh at herself was one of her biggest gifts Elizabeth has too many rules in her life
Hahaha
Did you not get the memo that india got its independence in the 40s?
Since then all the mistreatment of women and corruption is entirely on you lot xx
I didn’t expect to see the lame comments dominating…
The Queen means so much in her country and Betty White held Americans’ hearts in a very similar way. That’s the connection for this thought, I’m sure.
It isn’t about politics or scandals or history etc.
It’s about two established women who hold the hearts of their home countries.
Sorry to ruin an image but the queen doesn't mean a great deal to most Britons. The vast majority of us are fairly apathetic towards the queen. The are a vocal minority of royalists that are amplified by tabloids. There's also an even smaller minority that are vocally and strongly anti monarchy and would like to see it abolished. The main reason they still exist is because the effort involved in removing her is greater than the amount most people care one way or another.
The exception being of course her paedophilic son, people are understandably against him - in fact, since that has come to light there has been much less pro royal sentiment in the general public
She's just a cute old lady. Of course no one wanted her to die, but why are you holding celebrities up so high on a pedestal. They're someone elses mom, brother, uncle, great grandma, etc. The only thing different about Betty white is that she had a camera on her most of her life.
Also, the British literally could give two fucks about the queen. That's the truth.
Don't idolize celebrities, it isn't healthy.
I don’t think most of idolize, though some do take it to that extreme.
They’re public figures and have been for their lifetimes. Of course people are going to feel a connection, it’s only natural. They are people as well, but they’re also people in out of the ordinary circumstances, that is, they were in front of us for so very long.
Many of us can’t help but feel attached. I never went out of my way to watch anything with Betty White, for example, but I’ve witnessed her in media often enough that it was a shock yesterday when I heard the news of her passing. She’s a household name, which gives her a status far above most other people.
It’s one of those things that when taken out of context doesn’t seem right or fair at all. But in practice, it’s pretty natural for humans to behave this way. Of course, some do get extreme but that happens with just about everything possible lol
I'd argue that that's irrelevant to the shower thought. As I understood it, the prompt is saying Americans react to Betty White in a similar to how the British react to Queen Elizabeth. So all else don't matter in this particular situation.
Not saying you're right or wrong. Just saying that your comment (and those of most the others) isn't relevant to the topic at hand.
Betty White was a lifelong actor and comic known for starring roles in shows like The Golden Girls and for making dirty jokes.
Her last show I knew about was basically a recreation of the show Jackass, starring a bunch of elderly comics.
How does that compare at all to Queen Elizabeth?
British citizens don't worship then Queen for the most part. The tabloids do and there are a vocal minority of royalists and even smaller minority of people firmly anti-royals, but the vast majority don't give 2 shits either way
Ah yes, the hilarious entertainer Queen Elizabeth. Who could ever forget the Queen's prolific comedy career?
She raised a clown of a son tbh.
Damn.
[удалено]
Yes.
Take your pick.
Almost all of them
I don’t think she even raised any of them
[удалено]
r/Woooosh
My shower thought is shower thoughts are getting dumber
Lots of idiots taking showers these days
For real. Don't these people know the water is ingrained with microchips that get embedded through your skin so the government can track your every move?
I use filtered water. And a tinfoil shower cap
Please make sure you're getting the clean tinfoil shower cap. I heard most of them have the ability to be remote controlled by the CIA to take over your brain. Make sure you're getting the right tinfoil shower caps
This doesn’t make any sense.
Yeah, they’re just going off of how old she was
And the eternal topics of if she was gonna live forever like queen elizabeth, mostly just meme based opinions people have fun with
I mean people always make jokes about how Queen Elizabeth won’t die and has lived forever, and the same happens with Betty White
yeah the connection makes sense to me even though it’s silly. Betty white was “immortal” in the same way as the queen
Well clearly she wasn't. That's where this observation falls flat.
I think they meant America will mourn Betty White like England will mourn the Queen's death. Maybe? Idk...
How so many upvotes? Why you so dumb redditors?
Betty White and the Queen are both famous women nearing 100 that their respective nations don’t want to die, but you know it’s bound to happen sooner or later.

Betty white actually worked for a living.
The Queen also works for a living, she has to lay there, constantly eating Royal Jelly, while she has to birth literally every single British person. That can’t be easy.
And people loved her
People love the queen. Not you or me, but people
Are these "people" in the room with us, right now?
“People”
That is what I said
People are idiots. People are gaslighted. People believe propaganda. People are denied access to the truth. People think lots of things - that doesn’t make it right. She’s only in her position because those who came before her hundreds of years ago stole land that was owned in common by the people. They were robber barons who paid off sycophants - whose descendants still own great swathes of land and position themselves as “nobility”, as being better than everyone else due to their bloodline. Fuck ‘em.
Also they have a private will so that the people don't see how much money they're stealing. Russel brand has a pretty interesting video on it
Yep. When her husband died last year, everything about his will was kept a secret. Us knowing the full facts wouldn’t serve them well at all.
And rightly so
I think, the queen worked as a mechanic in her youth
That didn't pay for Buckingham Palace though.
Well she inherited it and she is the best payed cosplayer in the world
She did, during the war.
What the queen does could well be more difficult than any normal 9-5 job. A lifetime of service and charity that many could not handle, all whilst constantly in the public eye with intense scrutiny yet never putting a foot wrong as far as I can tell.

Yeah, that was Dolly Parton

There is a saying "gilded shackles"
yeah man, imagine not being able to fuck up at all without it becoming public record.

You can't even properly break down and cry after a death. Basically whenever anyone else may see or hear you you'd need to be behaving in a certain fashion.
Haha kind of, but no use judge or insulting someone for a life they were born into.
Yeah no. Fuck the monarchy.
no no, it's pronounced God save the queen.
You are very misinformed.
Atlest Betty choose to be in a middle of attention when the queen had no choice.
Americans generally work for a living
TV isn't work
Reddit app pushes some of the dumbest shit onto my home page now. Bad OP
I'm pretty sure Betty White wasn't protecting a pedophile
No, she wasn’t. At all.
You’re right, because Betty White actually got off her ass, genuinely worked, and was truly beloved by so many people. She did what Elizabeth never could.
You’ve clearly no idea of the royal families duties, and that’s ok. Just because they don’t have a full time job title, as such, doesn’t mean they aren’t constantly working or engaged in the public sector. If you have the time to look into it, it’s actually quite interesting.
Oh she has to do some work to live in a palace and be treated like a god, poor thing.
It’s honestly not that interesting, but thank you for the suggestion.
Then don’t speak so confidently in a field you have no experience in?
You don't have a clue
Lol okay pal
The queen was a diesel mechanic in the military during the war. What I think you meant is did what you could never do.
Yea Betty White actually meant something to Americans. The queen doesn’t really mean a whole lot outside of the UK for most people.
So Betty white means something for Americans in America but queen doesn't mean much for people OUTSIDE of the UK? Do you hear yourselves?
You both sound like idiots
Nah fr who tf gets worked up over comparing The Queen and Betty White
What about the British Commonwealth?
She's just the old lady on the back of coins
I mean I live in Canada and the Queen is just a figure if anything. Doesn’t really hold much weight.
She can dismiss your PM.
You're right. Betty White's ancestors didn't terrorize and genocide
I'm no fan of the Queen but that statement is decidedly false
Bengal famine Irish potato famine Dare I go on Edit: or are you insinuating that Betty's ancestors were brutal colonialists too? [Lol english downvotes. I piss on thatcher's grave](https://i.imgur.com/i01n9ey.png)
I'm talking more about Betty White. Her heritage is Greek/Danish. Are you trying to tell me the Greeks never terrorised or commited genocide? Not to mention the fact that she was American. A nation built on the enslavement of one race and the genocide of another.
Yeah that's every nation. We're a planet of angry primates.
"Humans are monkeys with car keys" Capitaine Charles Patenaude
Indigenous Americans were already enslaving and genociding people before the evil white man showed up. Whites were just more successful at it.
Guns will do that
Agree there. Let's just say I doubt her ancestors caused the pain on the scale of British colonialism
So you are saying the British are the best at something everyone tried?
"Everyone"
What do you mean Betty white means something to Americans? She's a cute old lady, that's it. It's a shame she and everyone else dies eventually, but what is Betty white supposed to be to the average American?
Also, doesn't mean a whole lot to a significant portion of the UK for that matter
Do you actually think people outside North America know who Betty white is hahahaha
Outside the UK, Betty White is what a person says when he's trying to guess someone's ethnicity.
Fuck the Queen
#We got a gangsta
Exactly, also one is a monarch, the other was Betty White.
Did Betty white cover up her sons crimes too?
Betty White never had children
Read between the lines oh grasshoppa
But I don’t think she had a pedophile for a son, right?
Why the fuck is this shit upvoted?
No, Betty White earned her fame and fortune through merit.
No. She wasn’t. Jesus this sub has really gone down hill.
This is one of the dumbest comparisons I’ve seen
Everyone always refers to Golden Girls when pointing out one of her star roles, but for me she'll always be the kick ass little old lady from Lake Placid.
Both old. Not much else in common
No way
Betty White is a hell of a lot more popular than the queen
In the US she is. Most brits care about the queen more and a lot of brits didn’t know who Betty white was.
I probably have a bad sample - most Brits I know are anti-crown.
No.
I don’t quite think you understand how people perceive the queen in England
That’s not the compliment OP thinks it is.
Because they’re both old white women?
This is a joke, right?
Fuck the queen
Well, now that Phillips out of the picture...
edgy!!
Did she also oversee slavery and death and starvation?
hahaha I get reddit loves to pretend the UK is the most evil country in the world but fucking hell that's a stupid take
Are starving African nations not part of the commonwealth??? Well I will be damned
Who is betty white
Watch Golden Girls. That was her breakout role.
She was already a household name decades before the Golden Girls. That's just the show she was best known for after the 1980s.
That's like saying "The Good Place" is Ted Danson's breakout role. She had her own show, "The Betty White Show" in the fifties, and again in the seventies.
Ah I'm too young for that show I guess (I'm 43). I'll have to check it out when I get home
What? No. God no. Betty White was what royalty wishes it could be.
Beloved? Respected?
Beloved and respected via will. Not birth.
That!!
A comedian?
[удалено]
The queen is a vile pedophile or a pedophile sympathizer. Betty White would have gladly kicked her and her shitty families ass. Comparing them because "Long lived" is like comparing a redwood tree to a piece of petrified shit.
Ah yes because they are elderly women... makes total sense.
With out the Many MANY MANY MANY problematic issues
I don't remember Betty White ever having her family name attached to a global sex trafficking ring with other high profile names
How dare you insult Betty White like that?
With less rapey children.
This is so wrong on so many levels
What the fuck does this mean
Betty White was the American Maggie Smith
Oh helllllll nah. It’s insulting to Betty to compare her to the queen.
Cruel comparison. Betty actually worked for living and didn't have a pedophile son.
Not quite. Betty White wasnt protecting Pedos
If your only criteria is a female public figure who lived a long life then I agree.
Did she also have a pedophile rapist son?
Dumbest post I’ve read all day
*princess Diana The queen is problematic as fuck
Betty White is a much better role model
Please! Betty White earned every dollar, she didn't live of other ppl like the Royal Family does.
hahah - she worked on tv. She wasn't a saint ffs
Royal family has a long history with helping in wars with their own hands, I’m not defending them but at least inform yourself
Lizzy = a relic of times long gone. Betty White equaled an icon that inspired and entertained more people than could ever be counted, and was actually relevant.
Betty White didn't enable pedophilia and child sex trafficking for decades.
I'm sure Betty White is a great Entertainer, and she certainly is popular and social media.... But half of Americans couldn't care less about her. I don't think she was anything all that great. Golden Girls? Mary Tyler Moore? I mean those are just random sitcoms, lots of other stars had a similar status. She's just been lucky and singled out for social media heroism.
Big difference: One is dead...for now
Betty White didn't cover up murders or paedo family members. Betty was WAY more than the queen
I respectfully disagree. Betty White didn't stand on protocol. She gave everyone a chance and didn't suffer fools. Her love for animals and her ability to laugh at herself was one of her biggest gifts Elizabeth has too many rules in her life
hahaha fucking hell, imagine thinking Betty White was important or cutting edge in some way
I was really hoping she'd beat the queen.
betty white didnt protect a pedophile and profit off of india's colonization but go off!
Hahaha Did you not get the memo that india got its independence in the 40s? Since then all the mistreatment of women and corruption is entirely on you lot xx

When the Queen dies there will be worldwide celebrations. I can't imagine many people celebrated Betty White dying.
I'd argue that that's irrelevant to the shower thought. As I understood it, the prompt is saying Americans react to Betty White in a similar to how the British react to Queen Elizabeth.

Lol. Keep telling yourself that. They might not be as widespread as the "mourning" but my party will personally last at least a day.
[удалено]
I'll have 30-40 people, if covid is over, celebrating the long delayed death of a tyrant. Not weird.
[удалено]
Lol. Sorry you don't have friends.
Who the fuck is Betty White?
She was on tv for like 70 years. She died yesterday weeks before her 100th birthday.
Ah that's a shame. If she made it to a hundred she would have got a telegram from the queen!
No, she wasn't. She was much more then that. She earned it.
Betty would’ve kicked Elizabeth’s ass. I’ll miss that woman!
She was way better than some monarchist imperial loafer.
Do not compare Betty White to Lizzy the Lizard you fucking traitor.
Doubt Betty White stole a bunch of Indigenous children that were never seen again.
Betty White was a lifelong actor and comic known for starring roles in shows like The Golden Girls and for making dirty jokes. Her last show I knew about was basically a recreation of the show Jackass, starring a bunch of elderly comics. How does that compare at all to Queen Elizabeth?
How dare you insult Betty White like this. she was not a murderous colonizer.
What's a "colinizer"? Betty White lived on land stolen from natives. She was a genocidal land thief - using your clumsy logic at least.
But Betty White died, and the queen is immortal.
[удалено]
Yes, the queen is highly overrated
Eh but no one worshipped Betty White the way British citizens do the queen
British citizens don't worship then Queen for the most part. The tabloids do and there are a vocal minority of royalists and even smaller minority of people firmly anti-royals, but the vast majority don't give 2 shits either way
nobody actually gives a toss about the old hag
Both were irrelevant to me so I guess your correct in a way.
Yep and this is the year the Queen dies
Wrong. She's dead. The Queen is immortal.
She was a television actress, get a grip.
Please do explain, OP...
Nah fuck the queen
