Would you believe ... this is idiotic?!
TV today can be best described as … hours and hours of commercials, briefly interrupted by split seconds of program.
I’m shocked you can still watch All In The Family on tv.
Fred Sanford talking about using Aunt Esther’s face to stamp out gorilla cookies probably wouldn’t cut it today.
Ridiculous article.
I consider all catch phrases offensive. It’s just so lazy. They stop even trying to build it to a punchline. “Let’s just have him walk in and say it”.
Talk about nonsense. But if that squeamishness is actually true, it reflects that the alphabet population, empowered by DEI, has conquered our culture.
They missed a big one: Star Trek’s (the original series) opening: “…to boldly go where no man has gone before!”
The EU is planning to digitally change that phrase to: “…to boldly go where no-one has gone before!”
And that has Bill Shatner a bit upset.
That article had so many triggered little snowflake sentiments that it’s almost like a Babylon Bee satire, but the whiny millennial/Gen Z writer was deadly serious with their virtue signaling.
You took the trouble to read it?
What does this tell you?
The descriptions below the phrases are hilarious! People need to just chill out. No wonder humor is dead!
The phrase used stylized speech patterns for comedic effect, reducing a character to a caricature rather than celebrating authentic personality.
You mean like how Jasmine Crockett talks today?

Neither Damini R. in Bangalore or the LLM who more likely wrote the article were in the US in the 1970s. Come to think of it, they aren’t really here now, so they’re just guessing about what’s objectionable today.
I thought there might be some substance; but it was mindless tripe.
All 15 are probably in “Blazing Saddles”
Wherever the Enterprise is going, aliens are already there and they aren’t nobodies.
“Substantial” catchphrases? Astounding.
What an utter garbage article. I can see the fat, white, blue haired land whale at her keyboard pawing this article in.
You know what’s really “problematic” about Different Strokes? They’re upset Nancy Reagan got airtime!
