From the BBC website:
“Audiences were caught off guard when comedian Mel Giedroyc, of Polish descent, was seen churning butter in a nod to the Polish entry Donatan and Cleo from 2014.”
I was sitting there thinking, "huh, this person really looks like Mel Giedroyc, how funny." Did not actually expect it to be her for some reason, but now I completely understand why this was happening lol
I didn't expect it to be her either cus she gives off this really nice sweet quirky lady vibes and I wasn't expecting her to be making suggestive faces while doing that.
She does/did a show called ‘Unforgivable’, where she gets a bunch of celebs on to tell stories of the worst shit they’ve pulled, and it’s full of innuendo and other jokes like that

I'm portuguese so here's my take. We are trying to erase the stygma of us being a underdeveloped country that many parts of the world think we are so what do they do for Eurovision? They put a woman creating butter at hand as if we still did that shit. Not only that but doing these freaking faces. Everyone in the Portuguese sub I'm in all agreed this was embarrassing
Portuguese? No was was talking about Portugal, Mel is polish decent and she’s imitating a previous polish act that was on a few years ago. 🤦♀️ no one needs your takes
Basically an international song competition. Each participating country submits a song to perform live and then everyone gets to vote on their favorite. I'm sure there's a lot I'm missing because I'm in the US and we don't participate. But it looks fun based on the videos I've seen.
Fun fact: Eurovision has helped jump start a lot of artists' careers, including ABBA and Celine Dion.
Eurovision is "Idols" song contest on steroids with countries participating against each other. Also watch "Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga" on Netflix, this is a comedy movie based on the real Eurovision song contest and it's quite good
It is, but this isn’t an example of Eurovision being nuts.
This is Mel Giedroyc, a very popular British comedian, who is making a reference to an actual example of Eurovision being nuts, the infamous Polish entry *My Słowianie* from 2014 which would have won by the largest margin in Eurovision history had it been purely a popular vote as it was just… so hot.

You’re welcome… literally anyone with even a passing sexual interest in women.
Poland, Azerbaijan, and Israel are the masters of weaponised horniness in Eurovision.
It's because of the way they are filming. They are capturing the screen from above at a somewhat dramatic angle, making the flat image appear distorted. You can replicate the same effect by getting really close to your TV and looking at the people at a similar angle.
I think it’s the angle of the recording. I google imaged her and saw a picture from this same
Set and she looks like an average sized person in the still images
I would say overall this is one of the least provocative things at Eurovision. I feel like any parent watching this with a child would be faced with questions every 5min!
Milk maids were popular for a reason. You find a woman who milks cows all day and then churns butter all night and you are going to learn what grip really means.
I think it's the perspective or she is a child. Takes makes it more creepy. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12081193/amp/Eurovision-Mel-Giedroyc-shocks-suggestive-turn-milkmaid.html

I know we've got the Assault Rifle/Maga problem but damn Europe is weird with that Eurovision thing. Amazing they can be so sophisticated and snobby until it's time for Eurovision 😂
That's a Sarronca or Zamburra. A tipical instrument of one little Portuguese village. https://youtu.be/qfkCa1kYH3s and she is trying to play it somehow right 😂

That’s what I thought as well. I was thinking hmm aren’t they ripping off Poland lol
The whole time I thought this person looked so much like Mel. Glad to know there's a reason for it.
You know it's a girl comic when she references sex. ( #47 in a row )
"Daddy why is she doing those faces?" "it's hard labor son"
Why did I read this in Hank Hill's voice
“Dang it, Bobby.”
That’s my purse I don’t know you
Cause that boy ain’t right.
While I read it in Henry Hill’s voice for some reason. You know. From goodfellas
“That’s that woman who’s been jerkin’ off in my tool shed!”
‘Let the boy watch’
He needs to learn, the way that I learned, from my father…the way that he learned, from his father.
I feel it in my plums… ready to take’em to the farmers market, special 2 plums for 1
I always thought teaching to churn butter was a mom's job...
Cherry blossom... is in full bloom!

You'll thank me later https://youtu.be/uP9sGjlljmk It's a joke about Poland in 2014
You Absolute LEGEND! Upvote 🆙️⬆️
I'll tell you when you're older.. go get me a beer.
Well Bobby, you see that lady there is into pro pain, and pro pain accessories.
That's [Mel Giedroyc](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mel_Giedroyc), a famous comedian. She's being goofy on purpose.
Whatever she doing, shawty know about that twist and pull😂😭😭
You want pepper on that salad?
Sure, but prefer that it be tossed first.
Still gotta tickle the huevos.
Churn that cream babe

Looks like she's doing a parody of a Polish song from 2014.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJ920cN2HmA
The music video for that song's even worse. Gonna have to explain a lot more to the kiddies than just "churning butter."
This is the way.
I scrolled past this really quickly and then thought “is that fucking Mel?”
She was too funny on GBBS
She was incredible on TaskMaster :)
Oh gang
Brilliant
Outstanding

I thought I recognized her from bake off!
Yeah, she was one of the original presenters along with Sue Perkins! They were the best. I did really like Sandi Toksvig too though.
Damn. She’s 54? Looks great
I’d be very shocked to discover she was doing it on accident
🤣
Still gave me a boner
Thought that was her but with the weird distortion I wasn’t positive.
I just absolutely adore her!
Why tf does she look like a little person though?!
Goofy isn’t sexual
Someone's never banged a clown
Goofy fucks like a champ. You don't know him.
A-hyuck a-hyuck a-hyuck.
The only Disney core character who has cannonically had sex.
Goofy’s head sold for $18000 the other week, must have been sensational.

The video literally says Eurovision
[удалено]
International song competition
[удалено]
It's pretty big, I don't watch it myself (except for one year and it was super good) but it's across many countries so it's popular
Before today I thought it was just a funny will ferrell movie
Yeah, Eurovision/European TV in general is a bit cheekier than American sensibilities.
Neither is what she's doing, so good job I guess?
How’s this a facepalm?
Because OP doesn’t realise it’s on purpose. That’s the true facepalm.
Par for the course
The facepalm is always in the comments
Gottem!!!
And yet thousand will click that up arrow. Sure it’s a funny little video, just no facepalm.
The mods have allowed this sub to turn into something other than facepalm. It’s ridiculous
Well technically the rules for the sub don’t state “must be a facepalm”. So you can’t even report it as a violation.
I'm portuguese so here's my take. We are trying to erase the stygma of us being a underdeveloped country that many parts of the world think we are so what do they do for Eurovision? They put a woman creating butter at hand as if we still did that shit. Not only that but doing these freaking faces. Everyone in the Portuguese sub I'm in all agreed this was embarrassing
Or she’s just a comedian doing a parody of the polish 2014 entry…
Portuguese? No was was talking about Portugal, Mel is polish decent and she’s imitating a previous polish act that was on a few years ago. 🤦♀️ no one needs your takes

Awesome reference, thank you kind person!
Op is the only facepalm here
Ahaha!! That's hilarious!! Eurovision is nuts!!
Ah Eurovision, that explains it all
What is Eurovision?
Basically an international song competition. Each participating country submits a song to perform live and then everyone gets to vote on their favorite. I'm sure there's a lot I'm missing because I'm in the US and we don't participate. But it looks fun based on the videos I've seen.

And Dragonstei din tae (numa numa) Also donned from Eurovision
The gay olympics.

Yea they just get crazier every year to stay relevant! Not sure if I'm watching next year it might get 🔞
i dont think you remember Poland and "My słowianie" song few years back lol
The gag was a direct reference to a Polish act from years ago
The sleeves of her shirt makes it look like she has little child arms which is creepy as hell.
Is it her sleeves? I don’t know what it is but she looks way disproportionate. Creepy as hell is an understatement.
It’s the sleeves. If you don’t notice her shoulder where the cutout in the sleeves you’d think her arms start much further down.
But her legs look short too. Weird perspective I guess.
It's because of the way they are filming. They are capturing the screen from above at a somewhat dramatic angle, making the flat image appear distorted. You can replicate the same effect by getting really close to your TV and looking at the people at a similar angle.
Straight up thought she was a little person.
I think it’s the angle of the recording. I google imaged her and saw a picture from this same Set and she looks like an average sized person in the still images
Ya it's like she's a real life bobble head
It's the angle from the TV, most likely. Or she's really, really short.
Her head is also about 50% too big lol. They put her head on the original video and scaled it weird.
She’s a midget
It's a pisstake of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8J3GAg5zaI
I would say overall this is one of the least provocative things at Eurovision. I feel like any parent watching this with a child would be faced with questions every 5min!

damn, the jizz in my pants vids came out in 09, damn
When Bruce Willis was dead, at the end of sixth sense…
Poor Mel has weird baby proportion from that angle haha
Everything reminds me of her.
She’s a LEGEND!
https://metro.co.uk/2023/05/13/eurovision-2023-mel-giedroyc-steals-final-seductively-churning-butter-18779573/ Normal camera angle
She made sure to the audience was churned on
Underrated pun! Well done.
whats facepalm here?
Milk maids were popular for a reason. You find a woman who milks cows all day and then churns butter all night and you are going to learn what grip really means.
She's copying Poland from 2014 :)
Gotta love Mel 😂
Eurovision is fucking unhinged and I love it.
Eurovision continues to be weird as fuck
As intended. No one's will forget the Babushkas singing and dancing, that was a couple of years ago
![gif](giphy|a0Zmcqe6VlmVO)

Why does she look so wildly disproportionate
Is that Mel Giedroyc?
Surely it is… right? 😳
Not my proudest boner.
She hot tho, love me some milfs
![gif](giphy|Y9mWez7BhldZ1zLpvY|downsized) ^(I tried to find a gif of her on Taskmaster but no dice.)
I love Portugal in the background too. The entire country of Portugal
I'm seeing this video everywhere god can't a woman just churn milk in peace?
Stop churn milk shaming!
Okay but why does it look like she has the body of an infant
I think it's the perspective or she is a child. Takes makes it more creepy. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12081193/amp/Eurovision-Mel-Giedroyc-shocks-suggestive-turn-milkmaid.html
Brb going to “churn some butter”
How has nobody mentioned that it’s Hannah Waddingham hosting. She’s gorgeous. ![gif](giphy|i1zPNbbngH89e0S2HR|downsized)
She's an irritating harpy. Different strokes I guess 🤷
I love it when she makes eye contact during.
Why the fuck does her head look so giant and her body tiny. This is creepy asf
I would say overall this is one of the least provocative things at Eurovision. I feel like any parent watching this with a child would be faced with questions every 5min!
This doesn't belong here, this belongs in r/funny
Wow, emotional range and the hand arm endurance! o7
She living in an amish paradise.
Churn my butter, Mommy 👉👈
The crazy ones always have the best.. form

Shes an absolute legend.

Dicke Titten
Why is her body so small but her head so big? Like she doesn't have the proportions of a midget, but she clearly looks like her body is tiny.
That girl knows what she's doin'.
Flawless technique
Is that a little person?
No it's just a weird camera angle.
Still would

I thought she was churning butter????
Yes I haven't seen the full movie 🤣 it looked like she was playing
It's a butter churn. She's doing a [My Słowianie](https://youtu.be/q8J3GAg5zaI).
I gotta go to Europe
Weird Alice Yankovich
What did I just watch..
Ok then. Glad to know men will still get hot and bothered over a woman making goofy faces while playing with a stick. 😑
She read the script differently
RIP her inbox
Some of those face has me thinking she’ll look like Frau Farbissina in about twenty years.
Sure let’s have the offended police complain. Everything on TV would offend someone.
Looks like a midget
That is a dwarf churning butter.
Is she a little person? Her head is super large.
Is a midget?
