wordsfromlee Posted October 5 Posted October 5 Hasn't he become one of those "comedy today has been ruined by the wokes, unlike in my day" like John Cleese did? Quote
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted October 5 Paid Members Posted October 5 I wonder if he'll do a bit about stealing James Acaster's girlfriend. Quote
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted October 6 Paid Members Posted October 6 He did say in this interview that he thinks every joke should have a victim, that there are people lower down in society that should be pulled up and that not all humour is for everybody. https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/rowan-atkinson-cancel-culture-comedy-offend-1235299480/ He also campaigned against the law against offensive language as well.

Members SuperBacon Posted 21 hours ago Members Posted 21 hours ago If you have HBO Max, they have an absolute ton of classic stand up on there. Currently watching my favourite show ever, Chris Rock Bigger and Blacker. "That ain't Pocahontas, that's Jennifer Lopez!" When I was about 15 I taped it off Channel 4, and had it on a VHS with Jerry Seinfeld I'm Telling You For The Last Time (off BBC2) and absolutely rinsed it for years. I think that tape shaped my comedy tastes more than anything. Quote
