‘Little Rascals’ Star Sparks Outrage For Demeaning Joke About His Daughters
Dear Alfalfa, X users hate your stinking guts.
Last week, Brandon “Bug” Hall, who played Alfalfa in the 1994 film “The Little Rascals,” became the scum between social media users’ toes when he casually tweeted a degrading joke about his own daughters.
The kerfuffle happened after Hall tweeted about the birth of his newborn son, Mark Athanasius Chad Anthony Hall-Barnett.
“I have an heir!” Hall wrote, alongside photos of his baby boy.
Being that Hall has four daughters, it didn’t take long for an X user to ask the “Stupids” actor: “You already have daughters. WTF is wrong with you?!”
To which, Hall replied: “I said heir, not dishwasher.”
I said heir, not dishwasher.

Some social media users did not find the joke as amusing as he did.
You’re disgusting. You’re publicly demeaning your daughters to try and generate rage bait clicks. It’s the behavior of petulant, emasculated, child, and I pray for all of your children.

You deserve divorce papers for that comment alone.

The star defended his crack to critics by saying his wife, Jill, really enjoyed his sexist quip while she was in the process of delivering their baby.
“I made the same joke to my wife while she was in labor. We both had a good laugh. Hard as it is for you to comprehend, most normal people are still rich in humor and joy. Stay miserable, curmudgeon,” he wrote in response to one critic.
In fact, Hall did quite a bit of responding to several individuals who took umbrage at his joke.
Probably his most offensive response, though, was to a poster named Ashley Reese, a writer based in Brooklyn.
“Vile way to talk about your daughters,” Reese tweeted about his joke.
Hall appeared to respond to Reese by making another misogynistic joke.
“You’re just mad that my wife’s children are all from the same father,” he wrote in response.
You're just mad that my wife's children are all from the same father.

Although all of Hall’s kids may have the same father, he may have ruined his family’s Father’s Day weekend in 2020, when he was arrested in Weatherford, Texas, for allegedly inhaling fumes from air duster canisters.
