Looking forward to the first comedian who massively rips the piss out of cancel culture. It needs to be done. For everyones' sake, jokes get lonely without a brunt.

This is all Jim Jefferies, Bill Burr, and Rickey Gerivis go on about now. How they can't say anything, while saying anything they want, being paid for it and it being available on all platforms.

I blame BLM on Bob Marley. Had he got the finger out and toured America he would have solved the whole issue years ago. We would be done with it now.

I blame it on Bohemians. Quares!

He played Dalymount too. Not a word about UB40 or Tone Loc.

I reckon he was bone lazy. Big tree small axe my eye.

There's nothing wrong with cancelling a public figure for problematic tweets and views.

Oh yes there is - you might want to look up the base definition of Fascism because that is exactly what "cancel" culture is.

I don’t see any murals of Lemmy or Ozzy about the place. Dee Snider on a jersey?

Must be them two-tone idealists in their pork pie hats, and doc martens.

With any luck they will all get cancelled soon enough as well. Fingers crossed.

Although Burr was spot on about Steve jobs, loved it.

Tosh. Cancelling a problematic Twitter user is just someone being told their hate isn't welcome in the marketplace of ideas.

Both lovely murals. A credit to the artist. There is a touch of Jimmy Nail about the Phil pic, I sound like an ex Man U supporter now. Help.



At some point in the future both murals will be desecrated for one reason or another. Once they cop on that Marley was lazy it is all over, I reckon.

Lively up yourself. and don't be no drag.

I think he's great, see's it as it is and it's creativity.

If people take him personally, it's obviously they're in need of psychotherapy and counseling.

He's a comedian and that's his act, FFS if you read into his work and how he describes his satire and observations.
He's not getting personal with anyone.

During the lockdown I found him very funny, I laugh at his metaphorical stories and anology.
Not the people, groups etc he basis his sketches on.

I think Ricky Gervais is starting the momentum, no doubt the Plebs, SJWs and liberals who were all for cancel culture will be saying "I never really liked cancel culture anyhow" trying to go with the trend again.

Shower of ****

Hitch also cheerled the Iraq War, acted as an apologist for mass torture at Abu Ghraib and grossly defamed Mother Teresa out of sheer spite.
Not someone to take pointers from.

I just hope the urban myth about reincarnating into James Cordon is lies.

Bob didn't deserve that.

All true but plebs' and ****' lives matter too. Even in America.

Liberals don't matter, think about it.

Well the liberals don't matter no fact's that's the truth of it.

I see the backlash in America at liberals and their Nazi friends Antifa is gaining momentum, no harm either.

They should go hunger games, get it over with. Starve them and see who wins. It has become an impossible place for still life sculptors to get ahead. Tragic really.

If I lived in the states I would get a house near a river in Wyoming and dress like Clint Eastwood. There is no point living anywhere else all things considered.

All said Porkys is a better movie than American Pie.

I think Ivanka Trump is beautiful. I would cross the ocean for her alone.

The same goes for Chappelle.


Cancel culture won't affect them because they have already made it.



It's the comedians starting off that are vulnerable to cancel culture, because nobody will take a punt on an unknown who has Twitter piling on them because of a joke they made that offended someone somewhere.


The chilling effect this will have on comedy is obvious. In fact it's already here for years.


Anyone pointing to the likes of Gervais or Chappelle getting greenlit as evidence that cancel culture doesn't exist is talking out their hoop.

Im not suggesting for a second it doesnt exist, but there is a double standard at play here big time. Certain classic comedies are cancelled while others are left and you hit the nail on the head when it comes to money and big hits and money. Netflix, etc's wokeness boils down to this at the end of the day.

Bring back the Golly Wogs. They have rights too. Noddy was a masterpiece and an essential part of my youth.

You would have to laugh at the modern anti racist SJW's, I mean I am sure Marcus Garvey is smiling and proud from above, as is MLK and that guy with the glasses. But they really are different gravy to some millennial spoilt brat whose parents worked at the mall and lives in a 4 bed on 26th and Maine. Good luck with that. Tearing down statues because they were comprehensively educated by a system that told them their forefathers were stolen from West Africa. Big deal. Zachariah the 19 year old stooge in a facemask burns a few bins and raises hell in downtown Memphis. When I was 19 I was off my face on yokes locked in the boot of a Ford Sierra somewhere on the M25 with 2 other random people looking for a party. I didn't give 2 hoots where they were from, I taught a guy from Lahore how to French kiss I was so off my Barney. We had things to be doing. That's the biggest problem with the US, they lack imagination. Too much TV ,Pizza and blatant war propaganda movies and not enough free love and party. They need to get a grip, they are only young once the fools. Its the real thing the Bush's stole from the class of the 90's. They only knew how to launch ground to ground heat seeking phosphourous missiles at unarmed civilians in downtown Fallujah. I don't see any Iraq's bitching about it on the internet either. I hope they are having a snigger at Zachariah in Memphis however and his misspent youth. If you are reading Zachariah ditch the mask and the Molotovs and buy some drugs and a guitar just like Marvin Gaye and Bill Withers did, there is still time. Laurence Fishbourne agrees with me btw, so does Whoopi Goldberg. Louis CK is still funny even if he is a sex addict. I mean the hypocracy of it...... if he was a heroin addict they would write a book about him and get art students from Dallas to build a statue of him ( for free ).

You could bring back Noddy, maybe the whole reference as in golliwog might be lying uneasy on some sectors of society.. can we call him a wolligog ?

There’s a, new enough, “version” of Noddy on Netflix. He goes around investigating things, like Noddy PI.

Hitchens recanted on waterboarding after getting waterboarded himself. Put his money where his mouth was and admitted his ethical error.

He was dead right about Mother Theresa btw. Fetishised the poor and provided substandard to unethical "treatment" to the sick and dying. Germaine Greer (paraphrasing here) put it that she was more interested in snatching the souls of dying Hindus for the Catholic faith, racked up and collected coerced deathbed baptisms as if they were Pokemon cards.

All while taking her miserable poverty roadshow around the world on private planes being feted by shady people.

She was a fundamentalist creep who thought you could pray away cancer instead of alleviating the suffering (which she had the means to do but refused).

He’s usually wise after the event. That’s my issue with him

She fetishised suffering, a ghoul

Waterboarding would be preferable to going to a McSavage gig.

I always found it a bit weird how McSavage is vilified on boards and other online platforms. Sure, he's a smug git, lots of comedians are. The savage eye is the best Irish skit show ever created, his stand up is also very funny.

Were responsible for exporting some of the very worst talent across the pond when it comes to comedians, Aisling Bee, Ardal O Hanlon, Ed Byrne, Jason Byrne, Andrew Maxwell etc. all at some point had regular TV appearances - and at the same time RTE have consistently put people like Des Bishop, PJ Gallagher, Meave Bloody Higgins, Alison fcking Spittle, Niel Delamare, Katherine Lynch etc etc. And most of them were even given their own tv shows while savage had a super successful TV show and was banished forever because...?

He's by no means "the worst". Look at the list above, Jesus Christ I'd rather eat my own ears than listen to any of em'.
