Sorry to link to YouTube for this, but it’s just such a great example of actual humor from the decades where it was allowed to joke about it.

    Crap, I’ve known this skit back from when YouTube had 5-star rating system on videos, and learned it comes from The IT Crowd just today

        I used to love this show until that one transphobic episode. After watching that I looked up the main show writer and learned that he is huge piece. Such disappointment.

          Wait until you realize 99% of people are transphobes and just don’t tell you because it’s not allowed.

          That happens when you ban opinions. :)

    So in your opinion you can’t make yokes about piracy nowerdays? How did you get to that conclusion?

    I honestly don’t even think this is that edgy of a sketch …

        Perhaps some overzealous reference to the fact that Graham Linehan is a massive wanker, butthurt transphobe. The way you “can’t really make rape/racist/sexist/transphobic jokes anymore”. He doesn’t really make TV anymore. This skit on the other hand, as well as most of Father Ted and The IT Crowd, is perfectly PG.
