Dawn French, 66, has issued a sarcastic swipe at Clarkson's Farm front-man Jeremy Clarkson on X, formerly Twitter.
The actor also poked fun at X owner Elon Musk in the social media post in which she called both men "t**ts".
The post in question included a photo of French's new book on the table at a retailer in between copies of both Musk's and Clarkson's own books.
Titled The T**t Files, copies of French's memoir were stacked with Clarkson's Pigs Might Fly to the left and Musk's self-titled biography penned by Walter Isaacson on the right.
Playing on the title of her own book, French shared the snap on social media with the caption: "T**ts to the left of me, t**ts to the right…"
However, her joke appears to have hit a bum note with fellow X users who pointed out a rather humorous detail in the photo.

While a second similarly teased: "I wonder who sells the most books though??! I reckon the guy on the left may just have the edge."
Elsewhere, a third defended the pair: "Both achieved more than you could ever dream of, as evidenced by this painfully unfunny tweet."
And a fourth weighed in: "You were previously funny. What happened?"

"Your tweet speaks volumes about you, and clearly, it's not pleasant," added a fifth.
While a sixth hit out at the long-time Labour voter: "Tolerant liberal. What happened to #bekind?"
French has been a vocal supporter of Labour and the left for decades, even admitting she dumped a man she was dating after discovering he was a Conservative voter.
"I did have a nice time with one chap. He was quite posh," she said of the How to Wow podcast in 2020.

“I thought, ‘I can’t go any further, I can’t think what it is, you’re attractive, I’ve got the right underwear on'. I worked out what it was. He was a Tory!”
Meanwhile, Clarkson has also waded into the world of political debate recently with a handful of public attacks on London Mayor and Labour Party member Sadiq Khan.
Just last week he implored his followers: "People of abroad. Do NOT come to London until we can get rid of our clown mayor."
While an earlier tweet included Clarkson saying Khan was "f**king up" the capital.
