I was all night strokin' me pussy. Mrs Slocum (Are you being served).

Not touching Love Thy Neighbor though. Or Till Death Us Do Part.

Mind your language

Benny Hill

Grew up on them all in our household in the 70’s as a kid.
That clip above is wtf but typical of every episode.
It is a dilemma judging today’s norms against norms of 50 years ago, but I suppose that is an essence of all history.

 

[King Corey]

It's been at least 2 or 3 years, but a new series of Curb Your Enthusiasm starts tonight, 8:30 on the Comedy Channel on Foxtel.

Haven't watched since about series 5. Worth a look?

The shows were all actually taking the piss out of racism, and without the absurd histrionics that accompany such topics today.

IMO, it's actually a better way to address such things.

Agree. A character like Alf Garnett is a very effective way of making fun of certain traits without grandstanding.

It works a hell of a lot better than this moronic stuff.

One of the all time Peter Sellers greats The Party would never get made today... It's a masterpiece of comedy acting.

Num Num, birdie Num Num...

Definitely, if you liked previous series, this will not disappoint.

 

[muttley45]

Season opener was a ball tearer! I totally lost my s**t at one point.

Happy New Year!

I actually had a mouthful of coffee when Larry decided to demonstrate how he tests for cold coffee, sprayed it everywhere

It was just the 70s version of virtue signalling. Everyone knows Eddie Booth was the first cuck on tv. In reality he's alone at the pub while his missus is next door having fun with the neighbours.

 

[Grogg]

Still totally switched on too!

Octavia Crump - that is one very awesome handle.

All my nanna got from the club for her 100th was a card.

...not everyone. I was around 8-13 years old watching all these shows. I knew no better. Most of my mates were the same.

 

[ferball]

I grew up in a mixed race household so it was pretty obvious he was a *******. Just about every one of his mates thought so.

But commentators were still making jokes about Jimmy Krakouer being dark on umpiring decisions years after it was finished. So it didn't stop racism or anything. Especially here.

His next door neighbour had a remarkable amount of tolerence or control. He never once decked him. Probably came close.

Take it to the AGM thread.

However, it didn't employ the oft used sitcom cliche of the slow-witted, boorish, fat campaigner with the inexplicably hot wife.

 

[ferball]

Still way out of Eddie's league.

I'm not seeing it myself.

Different strokes for different folks.

Is it just me ?

Saw 1917 at the flicks yesterday. Enjoyed, but, l really have trouble with pommy / yank accents nowadays. Scene in the truck ? Hardly caught a word.

No probs for me.

Indians & Filipino's, however. I need a translator.

 

[toepoker]

Letterkenny (SBS On Demand) would be the funniest TV I've watched in quite some time.

Whatever they say, just say yes. Worst case scenario is you end up with new low voltage lighting, solar power or a new energy provider.

The cockney one is a shocker

But try watching Vikings; incomprehensible mashing of the Engvik language
