Not a good idea IMO

 

[A mex eyecan]

please, just do not do this

 

[Live by the sea]

The problem is it won’t be as funny because you are not allowed to make fun of anyone anymore in case it offends them !

 

[Superphil]

Nope. No. Non. Nein.

 

[Live by the sea]

The original was hilarious of course .

 

[Cheshire Cat]

No. Just no.

Fawlty Towers retains its quality because there is so little of it.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

O’Really?

 

[The Clamp]

It will disappear without trace. Like that appalling Porridge reboot.

Don’t mention the war

 

[Durlston]

"Well you started it!"
"Ve did not start it!"
"Yes you did, you invaded Poland!"

 

[A mex eyecan]

Don’t mention the war

don’t mention anything

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Cringe

 

[Stat Brother]

Cleese getting divorced again?

 

[Deadly Danson]

The problem is it won’t be as funny because you are not allowed to make fun of anyone anymore in case it offends them !

Yes you can but no, it won't be funny.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Don’t mention the war

Do you need a spare shovel

 

[sir_gullahad]

Haven't they tried this three or four times already? You would think that they would learn their lesson.

 

[jcdenton08]

Oh please don’t. Cleese promised he wouldn’t do this, to preserve the legacy of one of the greatest programmes of all time.

 

[Red Squirrel]

further down in that piece it says that Reiner is also working on a sequel to This Is Spinal Tap. Somebody stop these people, please.

When was the last comedy you enjoyed made? I find comments like these really odd because I still find plenty of good comedy to enjoy.

Although I will admit that the whole, taking the piss out of minorities and stereotypes thing never really did it for me.

When we spot them, should we then stop them?
