He himself as a person has always been very creepy. I'm still not sure if he's gay or straight - not that it matters. But he's said some very strange things if I recall.

Well he had a character ~ A grown man who constantly wanted ' bitty' from his mother ~ 'bitty' was breast milk. That was very creepy.

Well apart from it being his mum in the sketch, straight men in general love sucking on a tit.

Yeah, i think that was the point of character though. Like most characters on Little Britain, we were encouraged to laugh at their ridiculousness and offensiveness, not with it.

I never really cared for Little Britain, but it getting cancelled was stupid imo. This young generation just didn't understand it.

But you must admit the different ethnicity prosthetics were cringe. I was never a Little Britain fan.

I will say though,they should have been consistent with their 'cancel culture ' , the guy who does phone jacker/ face jacker wore a black prosthetic mask ... despite not being black. But it seems that's 'ok' ... just because he's non white himself ,but he's not black .

It's like when the Nina Simone movie hired a mixed/ Hispanic actress to play her ,and actually gave her black face . It's as if they were so lazy ...they just thought "oh well close enough" , literally no similarities.

ANTM ...Tyra let alot of racist / boarderline weird stuff slide . Models were being darkened & lightened with heavy makeup to look like a different race . Was a complete mess .

Yeah they were cringe, but i think that was the point honestly. I don't think it was their intention to offend. I mean look at that middle class white woman character who would throw up every time a black or brown person baked a cake or whatever after she took a bite. It was to highlight the ridiculousness of how some people are/were in this country. Like i say, you laugh at them, not with them. That sketch in particular was to point out the ridiculousness of racist people in this country.

It's all about intention, but I think to be on the safe side ... people will just avoid doing it completely now. It is odd though that alot of these sketches & characters were only done between 2005- 2010 roughly ,as it seems that was an entirely different time.

We went from people not caring to now everything being offensive.

Like I said , Kayvan Novak should have been called out aswell,as he portrayed different ethnicities ,but it's obvious he got a pass .

Some of the younger generations would probably get offended at the colour pink if it meant looking good on precious Twitter.
