What the xxxx has happened to British comedy

[huangnon]

When comedy legends like Jerry Sadowitz start getting canceled in their own country you know something is wrong.

Hopefully, this silly and self-defeating BS censorship will go full circle and fade away to a distant memory.

Ignore the video title.  This interview with John Cleese is actually a discussion about Creativity and touches on what you asked.

Blame the left

They stopped free speech

Well, the right certainly is funny. I mean they have this mendacious, bloated, obese, corrupt, fascist, racist, willfully ignorant orange-face clown and they equate him with every messiah every Bronze Age superstition has ever fabricated. That's pretty funny stuff.

A good Kiwi comedian who was well liked by both Kiwis and Aussies.

A Kiwi liked by Aussies. Bit of a stretch.

I had a dream last night. I had become the worst racist , misogynist , anti LGBTQIA you could possibly imagine.

 

Then I woke up.

Off topic, but in answer to your post, "what's not to hate"?

 

And I'm sure there are some good British comedians out there who could parody the orange loser, if not a few good American ones – – so all is not lost.

Woke has no humour.

This was a popular joke in San Francisco in the 1970s thru 1990s.  There were people of a certain "group" (merely specifying the sort of group itself will bring outrage) infamous for its lack of humor.

Question:  How many [members of group] does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Answer:  THAT'S NOT FUNNY!!!!

Who decided they were  decent. Who elected them? Who decided what was 'hate'

It's OK for you  lot to hate Trump but not us to Clinton nor Biden?
