Barry Kripke: Listen to me. Not westauwant, westauwant. See, total cwap. You suck, Siwi! I thought you weren't looking for a discussion

Funny as soon as there is a thread about Roy being called Woy an amplitude of passive aggressive thought police jump on that poster not realising the term is used in an affectionate way. (Hopefully). Yet none of them can get involved in this simple poll. Would love to hear any reasons for that? Edited by Park Road (14 Jan 2018 1.10pm)

But that was 45 years ago and humour has changed. Monty Python was my favourite program in it's day but times change. Let's not forget that sketches taking the mickey out of speech impediments came from an era when many people still called their black dog N***** and when kids played with golly**** none of which is acceptable in this day and age Humour is subjective and is either funny or it's not. Nothing to do with whether it was 45 years ago. The trouble is we have politically correct people like yourself telling us that we shouldn't find it funny anymore. Utter cobblers.

Life of Brian was excellent! I remember it was banned in Ireland for many years.

Funny....... and so was this too: [Link]
That to me is the difference between being cruel and offensive and being humorous.

We were asked whether we found it funny nowadays without commenting further. You said that you did and then added a stupid comment calling people that didn't agree with you snowflakes and I responded by adding an equally stupid comment implying that anyone that agreed with you was a knuckledragger. As a matter of interest does your political incorrectness extend to laughing at Bernard Manning's jokes?

Looney tunes In the original cartoons, most of the characters were voiced by one or two voice actors, the main one being Mel Blanc. June Foray voiced some of the female roles (Granny, or any female characters) and Arthur Q. Bryan was the original voice of Elmer Fudd before Blanc took over. In reality, only five recurring characters had speech impediments: Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Sylvester Cat, Porky Pig, and Tweety Pie. Daffy, Sylvester, Tweety, and Elmer all had a lisp that worked in different ways, Daffy and Sylvester had the clathic lithp, where their "S"s came out ath "th"s, and Elmer had pwobwems pwonouncing his "R"s and "L"s. P-P-P-P-Porky had a stut-stut-stut--stut-stut-stut-often got hung up on the first letter of a word. Joe Dougherty, who was the original voice of Porky, also had a severe stuttering problem.

She said, 'Do you want a blow job?' He said, 'Will it affect me dole money?' I went to see that Pavarotti last week and he was a right miserable git. He doesn't like it when you join in.
