Never liked Brendan O'Carroll or that show

Not really. Never really watched it. Have tried, but it did nothing for me.

A good sitcom has been very rare for the past 10 to 15 years. The take offence at everything generation has destroyed the sitcom and comedy in general. I'm just standing up for the sitcom, because historically, I'm a sitcom lover.

Just because more people watch it, doesn’t mean it’s not trash. ;)

But you like trash. Because there's not much more trashy than Big Brother.

So I don't think being trashy is your problem with it.

But I think it is trash. I’m allowed my opinion on it, as is everyone.

Why should you be allowed your opinion, if your opinion offends Mrs Brown's boys fans?

Are you saying, offending people is OK and shouldn't be illegal?

If they’re offended because I think it’s trash they need to get a life and find better things to be offended by.

And if they're a offended by a joke in a comedy show?

If it’s a racist joke (as apparently it is in this case) then that is fair to be offended. Someone saying something is bad (trash) is very different to someone saying something racist. Not sure why I’m having to explain that to you, nor am I going to engage further in doing so.

…it wasn’t something which was part of the show, it was something said on set…so essentially it was an employer action of investigating the actions/words of an employee and suspending the show while that took place as many employers in many fields of work may equally do and that’s their judgement call if they feel something warrants it…

Alf 20-10-2024 10:52 AM

So the person was offended then. Not oppressed, but offended.

Being offended is not racism, if it was then I've suffered racism on this forum.

If somebody else had said the same thing they would have been out on their arse.
Another case of the show has good viewing figures so he gets away with it.

…I’m not sure if it’ll continue or not, smudgie…or if the Christmas Special will be completed…(..I think…)…so far as I’m aware, that’s what talks are atm…
