Should Catholics avoid seeing it?

Spit on the ground as you do and walk away.

Saw it when I was 14. The comedy isn’t as funny today but blasphemy, no. It’s actually even more relevant today when CINOs claim we need to out breed others like rabbits.

“Let the heathens spill theirs, on the dusty ground.
God shall make them pay for each sperm that can’t be found.”

I am just not into British Humor. There was a kid in my Class who talked about how much he loved British Humor almost every day in math class (back when I was in high school). He was raised in an atheist, communistic home. One of his brothers had a political band named after a British newspaper espousing socialist views.

The kid that told me he loved British Humor and talked all the time about Monty Python ended up trying to take his own life his senior year of high school.

Fun Fact: Karl Marx had two daughters who committed suicide.

I don’t think Socialism brings nor British Humor brings individuals joy in their lives. It certainly doesn’t mine : )

Some humour from over here has been funny in previous decades (Green Wing, IT Crowd, Black Books, Shameless was quite funny…), but I would say modern humour past a certain date is not funny. Stupidity, rather than humour, and can be quite spiteful.

I like this comment: I don’t think Socialism brings nor British Humor brings individuals joy in their lives. It certainly doesn’t mine : )’

I’m an outlier, then. Monty Python (Life of Brian, Holy Grail), IT Crowd, Fawlty Towers, Ab Fab, Young Ones.

Faulty Towers was a classic. Young Ones was amusing, as well.

Matt Berry’s humour is on-point, also, and those who appear in shows that he’s in.
