My sister has been watching Columbo on Amazon Prime. Says it's the greatest thing ever.

@JustinWhang Naming one show to disprove her point is not the win you think.
It’s a 20 year old show and is an outlier in its comedy style.
The fact you think friends is edgy is one of the most ridiculous takes I’ve seen in a world that includes Trump supporters

So funny to act like you couldn’t make an edgy show like Friends today when Always Sunny is still on

"Friends" star Lisa Kudrow says new sitcoms are “too afraid” to make jokes that make audiences “uncomfortable”: "But I’m not drawn to new sitcoms that are multi-camera in front of an audience because I’m not buying it. I don’t know if that’s just because I’ve seen too many single-camera sitcoms—I think we need to get back to being able to tell jokes. I feel like we’ve been too afraid to make jokes that might make people uncomfortable.” variety.com/2026/tv/news/l…

@nihaarsinha @gorgeous0017 @Variety These are narrative tools, not something being used to inform or create insight.
The entire point being made by Lisa is that comedy is moving away from being funny in an attempt to not offend or to deliver a message, the point of a sit com is comedy with the “message” secondary

@Ragingoldfart @gorgeous0017 @Variety Then you clearly haven't watched the classic sitcoms of the 80s and 90s, which typically had a "lesson" in each episode. Especially the family sitcoms. Seinfeld was unique in eschewing that.

@Ragingoldfart @RealNickAldis @LexisKingWWE One day, hopefully, you will realise how it is you that lacks intelligence. Almost all of us go through the stage that you’re at, usually as a teenager, but some of us clearly never grow up. My guess is that you have no will to knowledge whatsoever.

To my Christian brothers and sisters around the world, defenders of the faith, I wish you a Happy Easter.

@gorgeous0017 @Variety You're right to call it a challenge because whether discomfort "creates insight" or not is in the eye of the beholder

@AaronWrotkowski The network and dvds have continued the nwo story, with a US series on who killed wcw.
How many documentaries and series have been done about all star wrestling? You fucking goof

This is a 30 year old reference.
This would be like if in 1996, Kevin Nash made a reference to an angle on AWA All-Star Wrestling in 1966.

Any Scots still not sure about voting, ask yourself, what have the English parties done for Scotland?
They dragged us out of Europe.
Because of them, we pay the highest prices for our utilities, as they sold them all off.
We’re officially poorer now than at the referendum.

Scottish independence means the people of Scotland having full control over the issues that affect Scotland 🏴

It's simple really.
You either want English people or Scottish making decisions about Scotland!

See the folk that cry at stuff like this and give it the 'actually it's not free it's funded by the taxpayer 😡😡😡😡😡'
Where does that end? The schools aren't free. The roads aren't free. The air isn't free. Shut up please

15 years ago, we made prescriptions free in Scotland - while people south of the border pay £9.90 an item. For as long as the SNP is in government, we will always protect free prescriptions. On May 7th, vote SNP.

Scotland did not vote to leave the EU.

17.4 million people voted to leave the EU. Starmer doesn’t give a fuck about that, and he calls Farage a threat to democracy

I get the irony of using the word orange but I know inside that will anger your bigoted ass.

"I made a speech about choosing sides in life between those who resist repression and those who do the repressing. I refuse to accept the false narrative of the powerful in society who always cast those fighting for freedom and basic human rights as terrorists.

Love him or loathe him... If you know right from wrong and can recognise an injustice when you see one, you canny argue with what @citizentommy is saying here. The common denominator with the two causes referenced here are the 'British'... The original evil suppressors.

@nats_tired Are you an idiot?
The party that campaigned on cutting taxes( then said they never said that) and you are focusing solely on the fact him making a joke doesn’t put you off?
Cretin

I'm very happy to vote for a man who has a drink, tells a rude joke, regrets it, then apologises.
Seems to be a normal person, just like me and many, many other Scots.
Don't resign.
Don't apologise any more.
Just get on with the job.
Best wishes to you, Malcolm.

The media have been having another pop at me, so here are the full facts for the public to judge for themselves: Eight years ago, in 2018, long before I was appointed a government minister in the Lords, I gave the Burns Night after-dinner speech at a rugby club before a large crowd of members and their friends, wives, husbands, and partners. I must admit, I’d had a bit to drink by then, and finished with a crude joke about the late George Michael, as I had been connecting his songs to Burns’s works. It was intended to be funny through being edgy and shocking, but I’m no Frankie Boyle or Ricky Gervais. Instead of being funny, I made members of the audience uncomfortable and instantly regretted it. I immediately apologised to the club, and made amends by voluntarily donating to the King’s Cross Steelers, the original gay-inclusive rugby union club, to support their travel and participation in the Bingham Cup in Amsterdam. I then also arranged a fixture between my club and theirs. So that’s the whole story of what happened eight years ago. Most of the media won't publish the joke, but I see that the general gist has now been reported, and I don’t want to sully your screens with something so crude.
