Comedians are known for pushing the envelope with their humour, and Rebel Wilson is no exception.
The Australian funny-woman was hosting the 2024 Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards [AACTA] and had the crowd laughing.
Among those in attendance were the likes of Margot Robbie, Cate Blanchett and Sophie Wilder.

But one of the star's jokes reportedly ended up getting cut from broadcast, as it went a little too far.
The 43-year-old remarked: "Why is Australia so good at making horror? Is it because everyone had that aunt who's had half a nose chopped off because of skin cancer?"
Wilson's joke was met with a mixture of awkward laughter and groans in the audience, according to reports.

Despite the joke ruffling some feathers, the rest of Wilson's gig as host ran smoothly.
She even got in a few good natured digs at the AACTAs, remarking that it was the only awards ceremony that served 'boxed wine'.
"It'll also be the only one where people will get munted and chuck a spew in the dunny. I love Queensland… It's like if Jetstar was a state," she continued.
"All the best Married at First Sight participants are from Queensland."

High praise indeed.
Wilson is no stranger to controversy, as a few of her previous jokes have landed her in hot water.
Whilst hosting the BAFTAs in 2022, Wilson raised some eyebrows with her X-rated gags, prompting the BBC to apologise.

One cheeky comment saw her show off a fake tattoo of Daniel Craig's face next to '007'.
The star remarked: "It looks like loo, but I know which I'd rather sit on."
The big winner at this year's AACTA ceremony was the supernatural hit Talk To Me, which took home Best Film, Best Direction for brothers Danny and Michael Philippo, and Best Actress for Sophie Wilde.
Overall, the film scooped up eight awards, with Best Editing, Best Original Score and Best Screenplay also among its accolades.

And it wouldn't be a night for Aussie talent without a nod to Margot Robbie, would it?
The Barbie star went home with the prestigious Trailblazer Award, which highlights the achievement and success of an Australian who inspires others in the industry.
As the star of a film that grossed $1 billion at the box office, no Aussie deserves it more.
