Dons_1988 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 It's full of Brexit, "yer da" type jokes about Jews, "blacks" and homosexuals. It should be consigned to scrap heap of history. Luckily millennials find it offensive so it will be eventually.Yeah, we should all be grateful for offended millenials. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Not on the list, but i see friends is already beyond the pale for being homophobic. It should be beyond the pale, but for being irritating. Blackadder is definitely transphobic. Bob's gender identity issues are exploited for laughs when we should be empathising with his/her pain. Friends is obviously pretty shit (although I don’t mind it as background noise.I’ve read the list of things that are apparently offensive about it and it just seems people have spectacularly missed the point of some jokes and lost the heid at the mere mention of homosexuals etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Where do they joke about "Jews"? And it's not even remotely close to "full" of jokes about "Jews, blacks and homosexuals". - I can't recall any jokes about "Jews" - There's a scene with the dolls where Del comments about jelly babies after the black doll inflates, they also use the term "paki shop" in an episode. - In a bar he makes a comment about dancing with their backs to the wall when a gay man serves them. He also makes a hand gesture to imply Rodney isn't gay when talking to Albert. That's four cases I can think of that nowadays would be classed as racist. Given it had 64 episodes I think it's just complete nonsense what you're saying. Millennials FFS: these will be the same morons who keep shite like Miranda and Citizen Khan on the box and who think Methadone Mick is the best character to appear on Still Game. It will never be on the scrapheap. It will always go down as one of our nation's greatest comedies. It would be good to get a show of hands on here. Who finds Citizen Khan funny? I am curious to know just what demographic it is aimed at.To me, an unpopular opinion would be ‘I find Citizen Khan funny.’ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Bit behind over the last couple of days, but put me in the Only Fools and Horses is pish camp. Maybe its just not aged well, but either way, its pish. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crroma Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Only fools and Horses isn't bad or anything its just totally unremarkable for someone from a generation where you can choose what to watch whenever you want. Its the same with most tv shows for me though, I can't pick a tv show since Lost that I've cared about and that one burned me. Shows like Frazier, Friends, Chewing the Fat, Still Game are all reasonable tv shows but all equally disposable in today highly media focused world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never get this type of comment - people of the generation who watched Only Fools and Horses first time around (including me) can also choose what to watch whenever they want now. This doesn't make the programme any more or less funny than it was when we first watched it. Time is rarely kind to TV shows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
