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.
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.
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.
All 15 are probably in “Blazing Saddles”
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!

Damini should stifle herself, then sit on it.
John Prine nailed it in 1971.
Blow up your TV
Throw away your paper
Go to the country
Build you a home
Zappa in 1973
I’m the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you
I am still amazed Zappa managed to do I’m the Slime on SNL in 1976.

The snowflake writer of that article is “dead from the neck up”.
I still and always will say what I want. My lineage is certainly advised, even demanded, to do likewise.
Fred Sanford and the use of the “N” word.
“...and what passed for humor often reflected the social attitudes of the time...”
You don’t say, Sir Isaac Newton!
This handjob would stroke out if he watched Don Rickles at a Dean Martin Roast with the likes of Wilt Chamberlain, Sammy Davis Jr., Nipsey Russell etc
