Did Kylie Jenner Miss the BAFTA Roast?

Well, folks, the BAFTAs were more than just a parade of stylish outfits and blockbuster nominations this year; they included a moment that has the internet buzzing—Kylie Jenner’s seemingly missed cue during a playful joke from host David Tennant! So, here’s the breakdown: Timothée Chalamet, our favorite heartthrob, brought his glam girl Kylie as his plus-one to the shiny event. As David Tennant hilariously riffed with the audience, he brought up a cheeky anecdote about a lookalike competition that Timothée had attended in the Big Apple—yes, that’s the one where a Staten Island dude named Miles Mitchell snagged 50 bucks for being the best Chalamet twin!
Now, to the juicy part: when Tennant got to Kylie, things took an awkwardly cute turn. A lot of fans quickly took to social media, dissecting Kylie’s reaction, with many hilariously noting that she might not have caught the punchline. Lines like “Kylie has no idea who anyone is or what’s going on ????” and “Her saying ‘it’s me, it’s me’ ahahah not getting the joke” popped up in tweets, making it clear that folks were split in their interpretations. Some thought she was just being her playful self—after all, the socialite has made a career out of tongue-in-cheek branding and relatable humor.
But others poked fun, suggesting that maybe Jenner just didn’t know how to react to the jab. “I wouldn’t have known HOW to react,” one user agreed, capturing the essence of that relatable kind of cringe we’ve all felt. Of course, not everyone was so quick to jump on the “Kylie didn’t get it” train; some defended her, saying she seemed more playful than confused. Either way, this moment showcases the bizarre intersection of celebrity culture and everyday humor, where even social media influencers can find it tricky to navigate pop culture jokes, especially in lavish settings like the BAFTAs. After all, it’s not every day that you mix high art with light-hearted ribbing!
In the grand scheme, this moment may not win any awards for comedy, but it was definite entertainment amid the glamorous chaos of the BAFTAs and a reminder that not every celebrity can master the quick wit of the British. So, what do you think—was Kylie in on the joke, or was she just playing it cool? Pop your thoughts in the comments!
