Comedy and offense

[Factotum]

For someone who proclaims to stand up for women's rights he had no problem bullying them when they disagreed with him.

There's got to be a line of liberal feminists queuing up for him.

In the last weeks, he's been outing trans people for being on a trans-inclusive app, because he doesn't think it should be trans-inclusive. Fuck him. 

He kept going back after getting kicked off there as well, didn't he? About 3 times, and every time he returned he'd have an even more obnoxious profile. He's dreadful.

Apart from being a massive transphobic twat, the thing that irks me most about Linehan is how wonky his glasses always look on his face. Adjust them you freak!

As a speccy git, this annoys me massively. 

Being fair, he has a misshapen head so they are probably the best fit he can get.

 Is he mentally Ill? (Linehan I mean, not superbacon).  This is all like one of his more rampant characters come to life.  It’s like a transphobic Bernard Black but real.  Quite disturbing.

The Newsnight clip looks like a man on the verge of a breakdown so without meaning to sound flippant, I’d say he is.

He face has a lot going on as this handy diagram shows. It's a wonder his glasses stay on at all.

Looks like a Mondrian portrait.

I suppose the question is did Twitter reveal the true self or was the insanity caused due to Twitter? Either way, it has utterly destroyed him.

Did Matt Berry take any flak for the offending IT Crowd scene? I looked it up but couldn't see anything. 

Thought that was a bit strange given that as a performer he must have thought it was a bit off.

I've often wondered why Frankie Boyle is so offended by Ricky Gervais' animal rights stance. It's a bit creepy, if you ask me.

I find them both shit and unfunny so I've not been privy to the details of this beef. Care to share any examples?

I was wondering as well, and a bit of googling brings up this. 

I guess two funny Millards on this forum would have been a stretch.

The Mash Report is being cancelled as part of the BBC's review of comedy to provide less "left wing" comedy and more "patriotic" and "pro-Brexit" material.

That's a literal cancellation for not having the right political opinions, yet I don't see any of the "cancel culture" mob rushing to its defence today. Can't imagine why.

 

For the record, I can't stand the show and find Nish Kumar's delivery too forced to ever really be funny, but the same is true of countless other comedians on the telly and none of them attract the level of vitriol he does. Can't imagine why. 

[WyattSheepMask]

Well that’s a dangerous precedent to be setting

[SuperBacon]

If people think The Mash Report is 'hard hitting' and heavily criticising the government, then I don't know what to say.

I quite enjoyed it, but it rarely rose above sixth form politics type barbs.
