Most liked posts in thread: 'Jokes' which might offend

Put most eloquently and true.

 

Fair enough. And by the same token, dont moan when the electorate rejects those pushing this agenda from gaining power.

 

You forgot corrupt, nepotistic, self-enriching and incompetent. I suppose immoral covers the first three of those, but it's insufficiently specific.

 

Just finished reading the thread, You got to Laugh

 

Today's snowflake society would drop like flies if you showed them the classic comedy film.

 

Because in a lot of cases the folk at the other end probably dont care - its patronizing if you assume they are incapable of speaking up for themselves Maybe you should get a hobby instead of ringing Ofcom every other day.

The left need to change. You do gooders do more damage than good to your politics and thats why Labour were wiped out.

 

Quite ironic for a corporation who turned a blind eye to paedophilia.

 

Give over. This generation would lynch you at the mere mention of the word nigger, regardless of its context.

 

Remainers, obnoxious MPs, lunatic voters all lead by an old antisemite in Corbyn. Thats why Labour were wiped out. So out of touch.

The system is the same for all - its all about appeal. UKIP would have gotten 100 seats in 2015 if PR and I dont remember the left crying about that...

 

I worked with a Sikh some years ago-great lad with a wicked sense of humour.

One day he came out with two one liners which cracked me up

They were:
He said my brother works in the Circus as a trapeze artist -Balan Singh
And my other brother is a karaoke singer-Gerrupta Singh

Would these be classed as offensive/racist if I had said them to him?

 

More scrum half

 

Ricky Gervais said the cancel culture within the BBC 2021 would have put the sword into his Office script and it would have never seen the light of day.

Blatant racism, sexism, etc isn't acceptable. But we live in a society of absolute wet wipes and there doesn't seem to be any balance. I mean, you cant even discuss immigration without these loony, hysterical lefties screaming racism at you....

 

Are the jokes in Blazing Saddles now taboo? The jokes are actually on the white people. The whole thing is a satire on discrimination against black people.
"The man's a ni..." Is hilarious. "Stand back or the nigger gets it" (spoken by a black man pointing a gun at himself) is hilarious.
I don't see how these things are now taboo.

 

Talking of Blazing saddles....

 

It's almost the iconic scene/line!

I've actually just started watching it again because searching for those clips reminded me of the brilliance if it. They actually have white characters say n****** twice and fa****t within the first 5 minutes. I find it quite interesting how you initially remembered it as a much more sanitised version. To say the dialogue are not currently taboo is clearly wrong

I'm sure there would be an audience for it now but there would also be an ENORMOUS amount of criticism of it if it was made in the modern area because a lot of people make a point of taking offence and lose any idea of nuance or context.

 

I knew it was going downhill when they stopped the golliwog badges you could collect with the marmalade jars,

 

Yeah another one that the miserable left wrongly wet themselves over...
