And did your nephews pick the teacher up, asking what the point was in asking a woolly sheep if it had any wool?

they arent offensive, thats the point, but do you think 'manuel' could be created today? a white jewish brit playing a stereotypical spaniard? its no different to michael bates 'blacking up' to play a char-waller in 'it aint half hot mum'.
wheres the snowflakes who are creating comedy with these racial stereotypes?

they werent offensive, by normal peoples standards, but i suggest that the snowflakes have been taught not to offend, which explains why there are no such strong, memorable characters - because they dont dare go anywhere near something that might be seen as offensive.

nonsense...... ever since the 50's through to the mid 00's there was a steady stream of ground breaking, risque, tv comedy, from the goon, that was the week that was, not only but also, monty p, fawlty, young ones, blackadder, father ted, sketch shows, to green wing, are you seriously suggesting no one wants that kind of comedy now? because i know we DO.

yes i do like mrs browns boys........ but you do realise the huge mistake here?
mrs brown, brendan o'carrol, is a BOOMER, nothing to do with snowflakes.

thats simply untrue. comedy styles dont come and go as highlighted above, it doesnt explain 10 years of unfunny nothingness. theres possibly only 'buss *******' and 'whats occurring' that are memorable sayings. never heard that about filming in front of a live audience.

you dont get it.... they werent controversial then, but you try making 'it aint half hot mum', or 'till death us do part', or anything that mentions or relies on stereotypes? im not talking about the black and white minstral show, or anything roy chubby brown might want to spout, but 'normal' comedies.

yes it has! .... you cannot find many, if any schools that sing that rhyme.
the point was that it started in the 80's and its still being 'banned' or altered now.

but you left school before non competitive sports was introduced, which didnt start in 1981.

“What does this actually have to do with you not finding Michael McIntyre funny. Who were the offensive Saturday night family entertainment host in a pre snowflake world?”
you STILL dont get it..... you dont HAVE to be offensive to be funny, as ive pointed to many examples... it is being afraid to offend, which is what the snowflakes do... michael mcintyre is a prime example, he just talks drivel. its childish, safe, drivel.

There is so much of it. Try You Tube if you want a nostalgia trip. Thing's ain't as funny, music ain't as good, grass ain't as green.
I don't find anything from those days offensive. It's the TV from my childhood. It's all been done though. It's old hat. Just as many things are from those eras. ”

you think great comedy is aimed solely at the young? WRONG. its nothing to do with generation gaps. old people dont have to like comedy or a musical scene to see theres a vibrant one. whats the game of thrones got to do with comedy? or music? was it created by snowflakes? i doubt it.
you still dont 'get ' it.... it doesnt have to be offensive! its only seen as offensive or potentially offensive by the snowflakes....
to prove me wrong, please show me where, in mainstream tv, there are quality comedies thatll stand the test of time, the memorable ones, of the calibre of those i listed. oh, and were created by the snowflake generation... if things are as good as ever, this task wont be hard to do!

the scene you describe is the very same one that prevailed in 1976... what did the boomers do? roll over and accept it like the snowflakes have? no.... we created punk, we rebelled against the establishment and in a few year created the most vibrant, varied, creative period in british pop music.

“Would you be shocked in 2016 to see a male musician dressed as a woman? What about a female musician dressed as a man? It's all been done. What about the odd naughty word in a song? Nudity, sexuality, sexual references. All been done. There is nothing left in music to shock, be it in fashion or the music itself. How groundbreaking would a band singing about politics be in this day in age? What about screaming and swearing. Would that be deemed edgy in 2016.
Nothing to do with generation snowflake.”

now you do have a point there, maybe it has all been done, maybe theres nothing left to use to shock.
but that doesnt explain why british snowflakes cannot produce great pop music like 21 pilots do.

“There is just as much variety in music today as there ever has been.”
not in mainstream, your wrong there... there hardly any variety in the charts unlike the charts you grew up with in the early 80's.
however technology has made a variety of music more accessible.

are you for real?.... 4 year old arguing over a rhyme lyric that they had no knowledge of? their teacher told them it was 'woolly sheep' , who are they to argue that?
Plenty of ground breaking comedy in recent years - Bluestone 42, Siblings and the sketch show Cardinal Burns to name just three.

I believe you can get treatment for serious sense-of-humour failure.

who?....
watched bluestone 42.... like many other modern comedies, it wasnt particuarly funny, there wasnt people going around the next day talking about it, using a catchprase, re-enacting scenes..
these are clearly not of the calibre nor popularity of the shows i listed.

That was very very very quick to make your mind up, A variety show changes every few minutes if you do not like the opening joke, there is something else a minute later.
Bye!

Nice song, best music on TV at the moment, ( 8 pm Saturday), at least it's good and well sung.
Not sure that message is going to get any responses
I do wonder if text contacts are pre-warned about these messages being sent out, along the lines of 'expect an usual text from me, don't take too seriously'.

Always possible. But then why would you agree to do it and tip people off.

Geez can you not give it a rest for two minutes? If your real name and picture were displayed you'd never post your ridiculous nonsense, you'd be too embarrassed I'm sure.

Oh yes I would.
Dan, can't you understand the concept if a joke? Maybe you felt the joke was too close for comfort and true.
So 1/ Your not watching the other side at this moment, 2/ Commenting on MM so clearly agree it's better real " entertainment ", and 3/ Just want to follow me around in any thread?
I would say following posters around is quite ridiculous, just put me on ignore.
Dan. It was a joke!
Really enjoying this. The unexpected star reveal was really well done
With this being given a third series, I wouldn't be shocked if they tried to give it some more scale ala Takeaway...

Very funny.
Who the heck calls their daughter Brooke and then sticks them on TV aged 12?
Someone who thinks that Brooke is a good name, thats who.
