I do think comedy can be had out of social, racial or religious differences, but there is a difference between friendly or affectionate banter and outright bigotry.

Chris Rock also comments in a racist way to white people. |

I quite like Rich Hall, couldn't listen to him much but in small doses he's funny for an American. Chris Rock is just annoying.

Lister scrumping for cars isn't social commentary? What about Rimmer's middle class angst?
Just let my kids watch the 1st ... like Monty Python and the Holy Grail peasants are grimy & ill informed ... but what's changed? It all depends on who is on the receiving end and if they find it funny. |

The entire premise of a show like death to us part was the social commentary. But yeah, you are right pretty much all comedy is going to have at least elements of it.
Got to admit that Garnet was a gem :) Archie Bunker? Well, yep ... |

I find him racist. The use of the N word is racist no matter your skin colour in my opinion. You can't have it both ways.

I don't think he's racist. The use of the N word has changed and the meaning subverted in the context he uses it. I quite like it when that happens to words - e.g. gay now meaning 'a bit crap'. Still even tho I don't see him as racist, he isn't funny and is annoying. Just his voice is enough to irritate the crap out of me.

Out of interest why vote NDP in protest (I am not saying it is a good or bad thing btw)
Harper is my MP and he's a waste of space ... a traffic pylon would be more effective. |

Didn't think the NDP candidate had a hope in hell of winning, but I approved of her policies. As much maligned as Winnipeg may be by some, it's an NDP stronghold and it's a very nice city to spend time in (the downtown core after dark excluded). The Liberals just make me think bribery & corruption :( |
