Harry’s juggling balls!

Meghan is doing her serious promotion of her new ‘give 40 minutes’ chat and Harry is in the background juggling (or attempting to) and causing a disruption to the proceedings. I’m baffled as to why. Perhaps he’s getting over the saving the world claptrap and decided to take the p**s, or perhaps he just wanted attention like a child. It’s just so bizarre, or is it just me being a grumpy old bat?

Well I got to see this clip courtesy of a friend who insisted I watched.

But I hate the fact that the juggling Harry didn't make me laugh. It didn't even make me smile. I think I had a quizzical expression on my face. What was funny about it?

As for all those copies of The Bench. Well I found that a bit odd.

I really like Melissa in Bridesmaids but this wasn't her best moment.

Air-con?
Although it's not very environmentally friendly

Oops, my tin opener may have just opened a can of worms

Two things are puzzling me. Why has she got all those remaindered copies of her book on the desk and why is she wearing a woolly stole? My son is just down the road from her atm and it’s 100degF right now! ?

I watched the clip out of curiosity.

Hardly noticed Harry and his juggling.

All seemed a bit daft, and that other woman who I’ve never heard of dressing up.

Meghan looked blooming.

The number of times my eye has been caught by this thread and I have misread it as “jiggling” ????

No one actually thinks this is real and not a carefully planned bit of tomfoolery do they?

Surely not .....

He's not well. He's behaving like a child who wants mummy's attention while she's busy doing something.

As they say up here....in the name of the wee man. ????

Sparklefizz Wed 04-Aug-21 19:31:04

Anyone else doing that and you’d all be applauding

No, not me .... only if it was a child and not a man of his age. I'd be embarrassed if I'd been Meghan.

It's not that original. Mandela Day did 67 minutes for the number of years.

BlueBelle Wed 04-Aug-21 19:25:20

Well it’s kept all you lot amused so achieved something

I thought it was quite funny. It's less than 30 seconds in the video and just at the end. The concept is actually quite good. While she was here Meghan worked with Smart Works an organisation which helps get women out of long term unemployment by providing support, interview training, advice on dressing and an interview outfit. It's extremely successful. She's developed the idea to fit in the US. Good idea.

Bluebellwould Wed 04-Aug-21 19:18:30

I thought it was funny but just incompatible with the main purpose of the video, namely Meghan’s publicising her new initiative. Mind you the clown turn has garnered a lot of publicity so perhaps there’s method in his madness.

Ellianne Wed 04-Aug-21 19:14:33

Their dog wasn't very impressed! He's fast asleep.
I thought dogs chased balls?

Blossoming Wed 04-Aug-21 19:05:17

Me too Callistemon but it’s gone straight over many heads grin

Callistemon Wed 04-Aug-21 18:46:32

Well, I thought it was very funny

Who was looking after the children while she was Zooming and he was juggling? ?

The nanny or some other minion?

I think it was an insult to describe it as juggling

Nana4 Wed 04-Aug-21 18:28:02

I saw that too, Harry and his juggling act, making him look so childish and immature I’d rather see him cleaning the pool but that’s for the staff. She thought it was funny, that’s the main thing!

Anniebach Wed 04-Aug-21 18:17:21

When Meg is making yet another public appearance perhaps she thinks - ‘ what can I find for Haz to be included’

Is it supposed to be funny?
Is it a postmodern joke about him having nothing better to do?
Will the next episode see him cleaning the pool, or applying for a job at Walmart?
