One where entertainment such as this https://youtu.be/W2G2oWoSdUo?si=rJzYrV9hrRU9Fgi7 was readily produced and enjoyed, without fear of a small sliver of our society screeching "We were traumatized by that!!!", then expecting the rest of us to continuously edit ourselves
Side-note; That David Nystrom ultimately chose to work primairly in his native Canada is an immense loss for comedy on an international level
🥱
shareThis https://youtu.be/lk45AXusd4E?si=SV9H9LIKzJ5i7bWZ will no doubt be more up your alley
shareThere was Attack of the Show as well which probably wouldn't fly today even if you did have someone like Olivia Munn who appears to be more than willing to play the dumb bimbo.

Hell, beyond blue humor now having been driven underground, it's impossible to imagine a series like this https://youtu.be/jZe_MSp4THc?si=qmbqK9g-Wp1U-WJh (From 2013)not triggering The Woke Left, The Alt Right, and all those adjacent to them into an aneurysm
It's tough to imagine conversations this candid https://youtu.be/9w-Acc1GILw?si=AL9TQifdM9yL1k1j 6:35-8:00 occurring today either
shareI have a warped sense of humour and that opening line about watching her neighbour get murdered was like a throwback alright.
In the 80’s down here we had a comedy show where they would have (fake) sheep blowing up. Just random no reason for it. Hilarious though. That would be encouraging animal cruelty now.
I miss candid and unpolished interviews too especially when it come to music. Back in the day the hosts of the shows would just chat with the muso’s who weren’t very polished themselves but it was genuine.
Now it’s very stale and controlled.
"I have a warped sense of humour..."
My own has been described as "morbid", "twisted", "problematic", "dark", "sick", etc etc also. It's increasingly common to encounter folks such as chillidog and ShogunOfYonkers here

Who seem to revel in the fact that they're offended by such things. The blood feud between Mike Ward and Jeremy Gautier that began in 2012 turned out to be a warm-up for the direction our entire civilization would take by '16

Humour doesn't always translate well to text but some people will go out of their way to be offended now days.
And these sort of folks now have cause to do so once again https://moviechat.org/tt0203259/Law-and-Order-Special-Victims-Unit/65f01df3992e91508016757f/Testaments-Of-Courage
shareI remember Amanda being on the show she has a good body of work.
On the lighter side and I wasn’t even trying to be funny let alone in questionable taste.
From the bewitched board I simply state that I would be happy allowing my witchy wife do magic to make our lives easier.
Then you get white knight galloping in to advise that he doesn’t see his wife’s role as making his life easier.
I mean, take a comment about a made up tv show seriously or what?

Rape and torture isn’t that funny to everyone. I don’t think that’s necessarily a sign of a society too easily offended. Be it 1984 or 2024, those sort of jokes are going to fall flat.
There’s a difference between being offended and sickened.
Imagining Ryan Gosling being raped by Emma Stone with a lead pipe, then having her torture him by attaching electrodes to his foreskin and sending a few thousand volts his way, IS pretty hilarious, we must admit. Especially when he's gone out of his way to describe himself as a feminist in interviews, and claimed to believe that "Women are superior to men in every way"
Is he now admiringly comparing her her ingenuity to the pedestrian antics of the mostly male perpetrators at Abu Gharib?
Yeah, not exactly rolling on the floor with laughter, sorry.
Do you mind me asking how old you are?
Old enough to recognize that offense is something taken, not given. And that "being sickened" by someone else's words is corrected by investigating one's own thoughts and beliefs about those words
shareTHAT'S BULLSHIT.
shareAh, deflection, good strategy!
Never mind then, I was only curious to see if your actual age matched the juvenile mentality of some of your posts.
By contrast, speaking* and acting like The Soapbox Sadies who litter the halls of junior highs across America is mark of emotional maturity

Yeah, I think you would love for me to be offended, it would validate whatever game you’re playing here, but really man I just think this rape schtick of yours is a bit gross, well quite a lot gross if I’m honest.
Am I going to rally to have you banned or censored though? Not at all. You’ve clearly chosen this largely unmoderated forum to stir some shit because it won’t fly in real world situations. Hope it’s giving you what you need.
You've inspired me to broaden my subject matter https://moviechat.org/bd0000082/Politics/65f211a23624b727999332ef/SIL-of-Mitch-McConnel-dies
shareI'm beginning to suspect this one IS in fact a little kid using mom's computer when she's not around. It considers murdered children a punchline whilst it seems we have a mass killing just about weekly somewhere.
shareMurdered adults aren't nearly as entertaining as toddlers who've been maimed beyond all recognition by assault rifles
shareSAME AS ALWAYS...UNFUNNY CRAP WRAPPED AROUND A SHITTY MESSAGE ABOUT YOUR DERANGED FEELINGS...IN THIS CASE ABOUT WOMEN.
shareI had Emma Stone raping and torturing Ryan Gosling in my second to last post. That's me celebrating strong female characters
shareTHAT'S YOU SPINNING OUT....YOU'RE GONNA GET YOURSELF WAXED BRO....RAPE AND TORTURE DON'T GO OVER WELL WITH THE MAJORITY OF HUMANKIND...ESPECIALLY FROMA "STRANGER"...ON THE INTERNET.
shareHumans were entertaining ourselves with rape and torture for centuries, loooong before theater, opera, cinema, TV, and the internet existed. Both are venerated pasttimes, which we now pretend to be traumatized by
shareYOU ACT IS TIRING....WHICH IS A SHAME...YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY CAPABLE OF BEING FUNNY AND COOL.
shareMy "act" is still less tiring than the effort you exert pretending to be offended by words written on an internet forum
shareI'M NOT OFFENDED...BELIEVE ME...YOUR WORDS ARE NOT CAPABLE...I AM A SUCKER FOR RULES THOUGH...AND YOUR NEXT LEVEL CREEPER POSTS VIOLATE RULES HERE...YOU ARE GONNA END UP GETTING YOURSELF BANNED....GO EASY,BRO.

shareTHAT SUCKS...IT WAS ALWAYS MY SECOND FAVORITE...AFTER MOVIECHAT.
shareYeah, I met many first-rate people over there, more than a few of whom are present on MovieChat also. It was a venue for robust and lively conversation back in '17, which was gradually stifled by moderators who were hellbent on creating a "Safe Space"
shareThe user interface is too busy but every site screws up UI. Otherwise it looks great.
shareYou worry yourself needlessly : The vast majority of folks here at MC "get" me. The majority of the response on this thread are indicative of this
shareYou're going to be punished by God the lord Jesus himself he is going to fuck you personally in the ass, and then you will know his name is Jehovah Almighty and his is the final revenge, so shall be in earth as is in the heaven
shareIt's itching in my fingers to report you. 🌵​🧦​

She's not that pretty and her boobs are too small.
shareYeah, I'm much more partial to Holly Weber https://youtu.be/tbzgyIL0gMo?si=OnmfeFR1d3rNeoOw , even though the "comics" she's paired up with a less amusing than a prolapsed rectum
shareYeah she's a little bit better in that video.
shareI thought she was very pretty and big 'uns aren't the end all, be all. Look at Keira Knightly. Gorgeous woman.
shareIf only the director of The Hole https://youtu.be/bAIbvlobWDM?si=wf6y9Rmz91724NGl would've carved Thora Birch's magnificent breasts off of her torso, then sewn them onto Knightly. Birch's career would crap out by '03, and KK could've benefitted much more from them
