Lisa Kudrow's Sidesplitting Satire: Her Hilarious Takedown of Trump's MAGA Movement Resurfaces and Leaves Fans in Stitches!

Get ready for a dose of laughs, folks! The 62-year-old Friends star, Lisa Kudrow, is once again making headlines with her epic parody of a right-wing "non-official spokesperson" for President Donald Trump's infamous MAGA movement. And trust us, this one's a real treat!

The clip in question is from the Netflix special Death To 2020, which was produced by none other than Black Mirror creator Charlie Booker (who also wrote the film) and his regular collaborator Annabel Jones. And let's just say, Lisa Kudrow doesn't disappoint!

The 62-year-old Friends star went viral after a clip from the Netflix special Death To 2020, in which she parodies a right-wing 'non-official spokesperson' for President Donald Trump's MAGA movement, started making the rounds again on social media; Trump is pictured on Monday in Washington, DC

In the hilarious clip, Kudrow plays Jeanetta Grace Susan, a fictional spokeswoman for Trump who takes defending her boss to new heights of absurdity. With her signature wit and flair, she tackles the topic of Trump's multiple impeachments with all the seriousness of a kindergartener playing with blocks.

"So, the whole impeachment thing was baseless, okay?" Kudrow says in character, her voice dripping with mock sincerity. "The Democrats claim that Trump pressured Ukraine into digging up dirt on the Biden family, but their only real 'evidence' is this transcript... of him doing it!" (air quotes included for added effect).

But things take a turn for the ridiculous when Kudrow's character starts to dig in her heels, refusing to acknowledge any wrongdoing by Trump. When asked about the "transcript" she mentioned earlier, she shoots back, "Check your tape! I said no such thing!"

The clip was from the Netflix special Death To 2020, written by Black Mirror creator Charlie Booker. Many viewers saw similarities between Kudrow's over-the-top defenses of the first Trump administration and the real flak that Trump's White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, deflects on a daily basis; pictured July 23 in Washington, DC

The interviewer, trying to keep a straight face, reminds her that she indeed said there was a transcript, but Kudrow is having none of it. "I choose to believe there's not!" she declares with a flourish.

And if you thought that was the most outrageous part, wait till she claims that Ukraine doesn't even exist! "Yes, there is," the interviewer replies in shock, but Kudrow just shrugs and says, "I prefer to think it doesn't."

The internet has lost its collective mind over this clip, with fans praising Lisa Kudrow's "perfect impersonation" of a right-wing PR specialist. Many are drawing parallels between her character and real-life White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who's infamous for her slippery grasp of the truth.

'The whole impeachment thing was baseless, OK. So the Democrats claim that Trump pressured Ukraine into digging up dirt on the Biden family and their only real

One fan gushed on X (formerly Twitter), "This is GREAT! Kudrow perfectly captured the Karoline Leavitt persona – down to the long blonde hair and vapid smile!" Another viewer raved about the clip, calling it "freaking awesome" and saying that Lisa's performance was "probably the best thing I've seen since Tina Fey did Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live!"

But not everyone is laughing. Some viewers are lamenting the fact that they have to listen to Trump's defenders spout this kind of nonsense on a daily basis. As one commenter put it, "MAGA folks believe and stake their lives on memes, but call any reporting or data into question and often see document records as a compelling reason to believe the opposite of what they indicate."

Another viewer expressed frustration at trying to reason with Trump's most vocal fans: "I don't know what's going on in their heads, but it's not brains or the gift of reason. I'm beginning to think that they're not just stupid and ignorant, but they refuse to take in any information that challenges their current mindset."

Kudrow digs in shamelessly when the unseen British interviewer asked her to say more about the 'transcript' she had mentioned. 'What transcript?' she replies, before denying she ever mentioned a transcript and then claiming that she doesn't believe in Ukraine

Whatever your politics, one thing's for sure – Lisa Kudrow's hilarious takedown of Trump's MAGA movement has got everyone talking! So grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the laughs!
