Natasha Leggero just made a joke about the SpaghettiOs Pearl Harbor tweet that was probably more offensive than the tweet itself.

As Twitchy readers will recall, the makers of SpaghettiOs apologized last month for a crass Pearl Harbor day promotional tweet. Actress and “comedian” Natasha Leggero, a co-host of NBC’s New Year’s Eve special along with TV/radio personality Carson Daly, apparently decided to double-down on stupid with a New Year’s Eve swipe at America’s greatest generation.
Because nothing says festive like mocking WWII heroes who survived the Pearl Harbor raid.
Did some dumb ass idiot on this NBC New Year's show just make fun of Pearl Harbor survivors and "gumming" their food now? Seriously??!!!

@MellyAC @CarsonDaly she made reference to this http://t.co/NE3PD3hsIh then cracked a "joke" about survivors and spaghettios. Pretty classy.

#NBCNYE Natasha was the worst! Jokes about our Pearl Harbor vets, and discussing her bikini wax. What a drunk embarrassment.

Hey @natashaleggero you should get a life. Those WWII vets paid the price so you could try to do your job. #Loser

@nbc I guess you look for people who disrespect veterans, like Natasha Leggero on NBC's New Year's Eve show. Some comedian.
— Mark Copas (@izzyguilty) January 1, 2014
Who is Natasha Leggero and why is she remotely relevant? #unfunny

NBC is getting an earful from viewers on its Facebook page, too.

“Hiding it well?” Nah. Seems like their idiocracy has been laid bare for all to see.
