why is making fun of the mentally disabled so funny?
>>
>>220353950
its not. you know that they're not born that way because of "genetics" right? it's chemicals the mother was exposed to. they are victims of the chemical/pharmaceutical/etc industries.
>>
>>220353950
>>220354014
yes and no.
they don't shame and lock up the mentally ill enough. now they run wild both in politicks and /tv/. and /a/nime too!
gatekeep gatekeep gatekeep, people. gamergate was right!
>>
>>220353950
They wouldn't make fun of a retarded black would they?
>>
>>220354014
So what chemicals did your mom take to create you?
>>
>>220353950
Make me a delicious apple pie. it's what I would like.

Andy is a genius though, he plays Lou like a fiddle and reaps all benefits from society
>>
>>220353950
Because comedy at its very base about teaching right from wrong. I mean at the VERY base, like a toddler laughing at another one falling down. You're not SUPPOSED to fall down, lol, don't you know that? There's nothing more "wrong" than being developmentally disabled, so naturally retards are some of the funniest things on the planet.
>>
>>220353950
It's not. It's just the stupid accent that's funny.

kek I love making fun of Star Wars fans

>>220353950
If you knew the massive amount of stress the parents and siblings of the retarded are under, you wouldn't find it funny. That's the one thing the femicunts got right about abortion, they should have the choice to abort the retarded
>>
>>220353950
You have to remember most of /tv/ is mentally disabled so they're probably not going to like this thread much
>>
>>220353950

Lol, Matt Lucas is Jewish? I just looked it up and found out. Had no idea.

>>220354041
Actually, my Yankee-doodle-dandy friend, they would definitely not have had a problem with that:

I heard they successfully edited downie genes out of an embryo. I'm gonna miss these little guys. Assuming I live to see it become common.

The retards don't care.

Nobody outside of Britain can fully understand and appreciate Little Britain. The characters portrayed are so deeply ingrained in the culture that if you're not part of that culture, you simply won't understand it.
>>
>>220353950
My headcanon is that Lou secretly knows that Andy isn't disabled but he plays along because he actually likes being exploited.
>>
>>220353950
He was only pretending

the joke is that he's pretending to be disabled for benefits

the stereotypes in this show were harsh but so accurate to 00s Britain, half the girls in my school were exactly like Vicky Pollard
>>
>>220355825
I’m not even European, I’m American and I think it’s absolutely genius and spot-on. Go ahead though and by all means try to gatekeep one of your most popular shows period though if it makes you feel better about being British I guess. Gotta have something I suppose
>>
>>220355949
Sounds like they needed some dust.
>>
>>220355825
British culture is'nt a mystery to people. Infact it's all you people talk about so we understand you enjoy a que, mince and mash, union jacks and tea throughout the day

>The characters portrayed are so deeply ingrained in the culture that if you're not part of that culture, you simply won't understand it.
2 middle class fags making fun of working class oiks, its not deep. its a more vulgar nasty version of the league of gentlemen but without a central location to give it a sense of an overriding plot
>>
>>220353950
Because it's so socially taboo.

Humor and how "funny" something ends up being is a direct product of a combination of
1. How unexpected it is (despite still being coherent and making sense), and
2. How socially taboo/unacceptable it is

Making fun of the mentally-handicapped benefits MASSIVLELY from the second of those two factors in our modern, very accepting, very polite society.
>>
>>220355825
That's actually interesting to hear.
Comedy, moreso than any other genre, is typically the MOST heavily rooted in a specific culture. And apparently this show is a MORE extreme example of that rather than less.

I remember watching them on television when I was a kid. I thought they were brothers not gay couple.
>>
>>220354083
Yeah I know
>>
>>220356562
It's one thing to "get" the jokes but another thing to "know" them

I guess it's like Brits watching King of the Hill, or some American show about high school, sure we get the jokes about American life but we didn't live them
>>
>>220357177
its the same as the uk vs us office. one is a sitcom thats written and feels like a sitcom. the other feels like a documentary where you laugh at people(not characters) in their job. little britain's characters are clearly parodies of the types of people you genuinely see in britain rather than archetype jock/nerd/dumb dad ect ect

You are a prime example of how the left cannot use the same tactics as the right. why even censor dick in that image
>>
>>220356956
They're a gay couple? I mean, I'm not debating it, I just thought Lou was Andy's caretaker or something.

This show was fucking terrible but it was universally loved in the UK
>>
>>220355825
Everything you just typed is objectively wrong. How do you explain how insanely popular the show was overseas compared to other Bri’ish comedies, dingaling
>>
>>220358192
the first season is really funny, the second and third season less so because they repeated the same gags
>>
>>220356956
They can't be gay, everyone knows the only gay in the village is Daffyd.
>>
>>220358332
I still quote that with my dad and friends all the time bevause the way he says it is just so good
>”ay am the only gay in the vee-laj”

>>220354041
They did, but recently they started claiming to be Jewish, and their ancestors were victims of the Holocaust, so they don't get cancelled. Every single time.

both Little Britain and that airline show with the same cast had prominent blackface character stereotypes
>>
>>220358419
americans would start crying and yelling at the tv if they saw this blackface character
