Rebel Wilson’s mother Sue hilariously rolls her eyes at her daughter on Pooch Perfect

Rebel Wilson might be one of the most popular comedians in Hollywood. 

But in a hilarious new trailer for the Bridesmaids star’s new Channel Seven show Pooch Perfect, her mother Sue Bownds is left unimpressed by her jokes.

Rebel, 40, shared a clip on Instagram on Thursday, showing her mother rolling her eyes at her and giving her a ‘celebrity slap down’.

‘I hope when you watch this show that you’ll like some of my jokes,’ Rebel says in the promo for the program. 

Her mother remains silent but rolls her eyes.

In a caption for the clip, Rebel explained that it was ‘classic mum’, adding that the show will be aired at 8pm on Thursday due to a news special on the coronavirus. 

Sue is a professional dog handler, so her involvement in the show is no surprise.

Pooch Perfect follows ten professional pet stylists who perform dog grooming challenges. 

Previously speaking about her childhood, Rebel said her family would travel around Australia for dog shows.  

‘My childhood was full of weekend adventures at dog shows all around Australia and my family had a business selling pet products out of a caravan – such as leads, treats and the best styling equipment available,’ she recently said in a statement.

Despite Rebel’s passion for the dog grooming industry, Pooch Perfect has struggled in the ratings.

Earlier this month, one episode drew in just a measly 388,000 viewers in its prime time slot.  

After losing almost half of the viewers that tuned into the show’s premiere, industry commentator and Mediaweek editor James Manning told The Daily Telegraph earlier this month that the disappointing results might be down to Rebel.

‘Despite reasonable figures for the first episode, the audience drop off has been dramatic for weeks two and three,’ he said.

‘The series indicates that Rebel Wilson is yet to prove herself a major drawcard for Australian TV audiences.’

The program launched on February 27 with 624,000 viewers.
