Finally this vulgar prat has had his just deserts for his pathetic excuse for calling his shows comedy! when did it like with the Johnathon ross & Russel brand scandal did it become acceptable to slag people off in public & insult them! Rant over!

Everyone to their own taste. I watched and enjoyed it. Didn't find anything distatefull. Generally find him funny.

Its not really my sort of thing, watching these people trying to be funny and not always successful, but I did watch it as OH like it. Although I didn't find what they were saying distasteful I wasn't very enamoured with the fact that they were drunk.
It sets a bad example.

I didn't watch, but I find the fact that we still have an oligarchy a national shame and mockety of it/them is entirely justified.

I like him and find him funny, did not hear that bit of the show, must have been on here :innocent:
funny thing is, I do find Jeremy Clarkson obnoxious but that's just me as I know loads of people love him , humour is as individual as, what you like to eat, Marmite. For example, who you fancy, Daniel Craige, and what you drive, beaten up Kangoo etc etc.....

I roared with laughter (alone at home), and although a bit near the knuckle at times it didnt offend me in the slightest. Mind you, I am Jack Whitehall fan. I just have to look at him to laugh! Usually its Jimmy Carr who is more offensive than anyone.

We went to see Jimmy Carr live. We don't watch TV much so I didn't really know who he was. Oh, my :censored: He was fine until 9pm then after the watershed - it was pretty non-PC but really funny. I felt I shouldn't be laughing but was.
Never heard of this guy.

I remember a lot of the old more traditional comedians filled their shows with smutty very non PC jokes that like you Rosemary, I just had to laugh at but knew they were oh so wrong...its the fact we know its wrong but we often have the same thoughts but correct ourself.......
Interesting psychology really.....I am so anti oppression in any way shape or form but laugh until my eyes water at non PC jokes, :roflanim: Yet Joe Blogs saying negative non PC stuff I would certainly challenge!!
I find Jack Whitehall very funny and I think he will be around for a long while, loved Fresh Meat......very very clever in my opinion.
is there a Joe Blogs on this forum?

I think there is more harm in the gratuitous violence in films and the incessant sexualisation of young children on TV and advertising than a few comedians being 'offensive'. Being offended is a choice by the viewer/listener. Freedom to be offensive is a key part of freedom, as it is a subjective opinion and personally I would rather be offended than not have freedom of speech (excluding inciting violence etc).

i watched it but cant rem the jokes so it cant be that bad. its on a repeat tonight so will to watch it again to see what the fuss was about...lol
-
It was on here too but I missed "that" bit, I kept turing around laughing :roflanim: I bet they cut "that" bit out tonight and the viewing figures will def be up!!! :innocent:
-
Getting 'over' jokes made about you is primary school stuff.
Have not seen the show - and dont intend too - but the jokes on anyone who cant take a joke.
Whats the point in running a TV channel or event if everyone involved has to conform to the opinions of those in charge of the show? Surely they should just sit in the backroom, cash the cheques and watch the masters at work.?

I haven't seen the show and never heard of the bloke and in any case I never find comedians funny in the slightest, so can't comment on what was said, but I do find that tv is close to the bone many times in situations like this and I for one are not impressed. I understand all your comments about freedom of speech etc, but in my eyes its all about respect and many of these stand up comics have never heard of the word. Yes i agree many years ago there was "disrespectful" shows such as "love thy neighbours" which by the way I loved, but look at that and others, they were all deemed racist etc and were pulled, so why is ok for programmes like the above to be shown and yet no one bar a few bats an eyelid. I personally feel its all part of the yob culture which seems to be taking over.

I watched it but not the end. I did see a bit of where they were drinking and eating pizza. Have to say, I found him funny! 165 complaints isn't all that many really though.

I watched it and didn't find it overalls offensive. BUT, I did happen to make the comment to my OH, that if the show let them drink wine, what did they expect to get? Surely the show producer/ director should have refused to let them drink if it was going to lead to them being ridiculous. It did feel a little like I was the sober person watching a room full of drunks being ridiculous.
