Said the bloke who thinks the Simpsons is comedy gold.

At it's peak it was. Later on? not so much.

I found SHH incredibly cringy and downright awful.

I can take a little bit of 'offensive" comedy, I do like The Office UK for instance despite the blatant sexism in it, but there's too questionable shit in SHH. An older girl in a relationship with a 12 yr old. A teacher demonstrating appropriate and inappropriate hugging on a special needs kid. Was just uncomforting to watch really. Didn't even have the redeeming feature of being funny in any way.

Anyway, just my take on it.

"I can take a little bit of 'offensive" comedy, "

Now that is funny.
 
I like The Office (UK, I don't like Steve Carrell) because, despite it having a lot of sexism, it's actually got value in it, it's good humour and Ricky Gervais is a comedy genius.

"I can take a little bit of 'offensive" comedy, "

Now that is funny.

Bad wording?

If it's good enough, I can look past certain offensive jokes in it, maybe even laugh if they are funny enough.

Comedy doesn't have to be offensive to be funny though.

I must of blinked and missed it...
 
Nah just lock them up for 40 years. No need to go overboard.
You're going to reward them with 3 fresh meals daily, free dental & health care, free gym memberships & heating & cooling.

As opposed to making them watch Carlton games

In Modern Family, was one of the gay guys not gay in real life (Cam).
If so, that shows in trouble.
Not saying I'm a fan, but we did watch it when the kids were little and one of the characters was...ahem, very good at her craft.

But if this rubbish gains legs, and Brokeback Mountain gets binned, so does this one. And many, many others.

We deadset need a recession to smack a bit of reality back into this privileged world.

It’s not Gil’s fault the WA government is cooked, they’re the ones holding everything back from a relatively normal season. The NRL hasn’t had to deal with SA & WA governments.

NT and Tasmania are no different to WA and SA with the border closures.

Poor old North and Hawthorn find themselves shut out of Tasmania.
 
See electronic media(Stan etc) around the world are now taking anything off their show list that has any racial undertones in it.
Now i know shows like Kingswood Country/Love thy Neighbour etc wouldn't get a gig these days,But they also want actors who don't play themselves ala the 2 actors who played as gays in Brokeback Mountain,They want banned as well because their not gay in real life.
Wtf is this world coming too?
So actors can only play themselves now?
 
Great vid.
Correct about the language at work though, I had to reduce the volume so not to offend any of the tradies.
Racist...lumping all of the very diverse, highly skilled and trained specialists under the blanket term 'tradies'
How dare you.
 
Fah.
Who gets to decide that?
Nazi's and commies burn books, and this is heading down a slippery slope.
What's next, thoughtcrime?

Not saying i 100% agree, just explaining the reasoning behind it.

I would be happy if they just left the past in the past and didnt have to resort to overt, over the top stereotypes in comedy again.
