It's interesting to watch him, he's such a proper public schoolboy. Maybe people will see him as less of a "man of the people" now he's telling them he does shooting every week or whatever.

Strategic Tea posted:If it's like other businesses I expect a big part of each show having it's own company is down to the lenders. If I'm making a loan to fund Ant and Dec's Family Christmas Reminiscence about Dead Comedians, I don't want to be exposed to the risk of GB News' Covid Lab Investigation tanking the company just because both shows are made by the same people. Honestly the former is probably a bigger risk than the latter.

He marched around town shouting Hitler Youth songs, and was openly racist. He was a chauffeur to Enoch Powell for a while. He was caught setting up a tax haven for himself in Isle of Man. People only think he popped up in 2015. Having a full blown modern nazi in a prime time celeb show. What the gently caress.

My friend was in a family of the week on Big Breakfast, I know they have the tapes somewhere and I so want them to dig them out and put them on YouTube or something.

The thing to understand about mr blobby is that he was made to be unsettling and poo poo as a joke yet what was made could not be unmade and what was parody became real.

Mr Blobby terrorising Jack Whitehall on TBFQ will never not be funny: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97fw8xjB5u4 This was Barry Killerby's last official appearance as Mr Blobby, the mantle was passed onto the guy who runs the official Mr Blobby YouTube channel, Paul Denson, who has performed the role since 2015.

See also Murtaugh in the Lethal Weapon parody. It's a grey area really, they're not "blacking up" in order to make fun of black people in either sketch.

Yeah, you can't hand wave it in any way. Even if the intention is 'innocent', it's such a horrendously loaded issue that there is literally no way to do it in a way which isn't inherently problematic.

This year's I'm a Celebrity has a really annoying person in it called Nella. She's a youtube star, I've seen her at least once (potentially a tiktok advert?) but I can't say I knew her before the jungle. She's extremely dramatic and kinda follows different social rules to the other people in the camp. I can't pretend that she's good or anything but mega annoying. HOWEVER holy gently caress the reddit and digital spy (basically the only places left that talk about the show) communities are using it as an excuse to be really fuckin' racist and constantly get mad about her "playing the race card" or "hating men" or whatever the gently caress. God I feel ACTUALLY BAD about disliking her because of the way they're reacting. Today - and I'll spoil this in case anyone is watching the show - Frankie Dettori went. Both forums are going all in with the idea that he only went because they don't want it to always be non-whites that go first. This came up last year since every black woman left almost immediately. The thing with I'm a Celebrity though is that it's only positive votes. People don't get voted off (or Hancock would have gone so fast last year) they get voted to stay instead. And Frankie was genuinely a boring boring guy. But it does show the british public don't seem to want to vote for black people. Genuinely I think the racial dimension of I'm a Celebrity needs proper studying and people's reactions to this stuff is pretty scary to me.

crispix posted:Dell_Zincht also defended the black, brown and yellow makeup characters in Little Britain and Come Fly with Me in this very thread so um Because once again, those characters weren't black or Asian in order to mock their ethnicity - certainly in CFWM's case they were expected to be showcased as the show was set in an airport, the very place you would expect to see people of various different cultures. Both shows were written by and performed by two incredibly white men. A show comprising entirely of white characters would have led to outrage regarding a lack of diversity. But it's clear we will never see eye to eye on this topic so I don't know why i'm arguing it - again.

Boat Story on the Iplayer is really good. Both leads are fantastic, the villains are genuinely scary, the on-location shooting is gorgeous and more than anything it has a great sense of humour.

There was a story a few years back of a young kid who did backface as part of a Mr T Halloween costume. It was clearly done because the kid like MrT yet Black people were still entitled not to like it. Blame the long line of racist shits who have poisoned the well not those who now object.
