(TITANIA McGRATH aka Andrew Doyle) WOKE JOKE: Why an SJW Satire Became a Twitter Phenomenon
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лип 2024
- Peter's guest this week is the creator of ‘Titania McGrath’, the satirical Social Justice Warrior parody account set up on Twitter by writer and comedian Andrew Doyle, formerly co-writer of the spoof TV reporter Jonathan Pie.
Most commentators have heaped praise on Doyle, stating he stands as a 21st century member of Britain's proud satirical tradition that includes Jonathan Swift etc. But many in the "Woke" movement have denounced him and his creation, declaring it to portray a completely false image of their movement.
Whilst McGrath describes herself as a "radical intersectionalist poet committed to feminism, social justice and armed peaceful protest," her creator describes her as "a militant vegan who thinks she is a better poet than William Shakespeare."
Andrew Doyle writes for Spiked Online and appears on Sky news to discuss politics, news and culture. He has written and adapted many musicals and plays and he has performed numerous stand up shows, including at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Peter and Andrew discuss 'woke culture', comedy and of course, Titania.

This man's mind is complex and nuanced. He needs to go on the Joe Rogan show for a 2 hour deposition LOL
He is in the right path but decrying ethnic identity in this era of anti White massglobalist media and replacement migration is untenable. Group differences are important and should be recognized
@@spencer5028 You've got a point there.
Don't be scared by your prophesy. Everything in media today is a LARP. They number crunch everything. If the datum can be used again for social effect it will be.
Everything! (I recall a friend who met a peer in the psych-ward who thought the man upstairs was malevolently controlling his bowel movements.)
Everything!
I don't like the character of Pie because to many people sit their agreeing with him.
"Punch people in the name of tolerance" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Like Jo Brand - 'I hate bigots'. But she's real.
The Oberlin students show this too - profiling white business owners because the owners are not racists!
Punch gay Vietnamese journalists and throw milkshakes full of caustic chemicals at them in the name of tolerance.
It's ANTIFA's motto. 😄
@@anthonywitham2305........ It's a week ago when I first heard it and I'm still laughing 😂😂👍
Love Titania's quote, " Say what you like about ISIS, but at least you can't acuse them of Islamaphobia".
Accuse*
What about the muslim women who want to ditch the burkha ? Total islamaphobes.
"We all know these people"
That's the frightening thing. I had started to sense... a little bit of it, about five years ago. But now it's everywhere; every social encounter, every group of friends, there will be at least one, often more than one. At this point, sitting at a pub with a group of people... especially if they're under 30... it's like there's always a Soviet political officer at the table, waiting for you to say the wrong thing, waiting to condemn you for your choice of words, for thinking the wrong way. And that's their only contribution; they have no opinions of their own, no original thoughts, no real passions.
They are puritans, and if you demonstrate that you are ideologically impure, they will seek to punish you for it.
And they think they're righteous. They think they're reasonable. They think that this is rational behaviour.
Do not at any cost say you dont rate adele or her dresses it will not go well in a pub that serves pizza
And they are so very very wrong......There's no difference between these people and the stalinists or the nazi's. They thought they were the good guys too.
TRUTH BOMBS!
They are Nietzsche's tarantulas. 100+ years ago he described these people so well it's frightening
I have to say, I noticed it creeping in in the 90s. Maybe the type of people I worked around. Maybe, being something of a contrarian, I'm super-sensitive to it.
The colour of the Red Dwarf cast is not noticeable because no reference is ever made of it. The characters are defined by their behaviour not their looks.
Smeg head
Thanks for the insight, goalpost head.
@Stu Withoutaclue Is he the chap from the Matrix ... ? ;)
@Stu Withoutaclue Quite ... 8)
Yep, racists will remain racist. You educate your kids the right way, that's how.
The funniest thing about the tweets was the people who took them seriously.
I was one of those people. I didn't think that anyone could be this dense, but then again, I've met a few. But someone pointed out that it was satire, and I thought it was hilarious.
There are people who are really like this.
@@dishmanw It IS hard to know what satire is anymore. Leftists destroyed that with their beyond irrational extremism.
Sasha Kruse Grim
Poe’s Law strikes again! The Onion must be struggling to come up with satire more insane than reality.
Sasha Kruse Grim There are nuts in the right wing too. Nuts is nuts, no matter which side of the fence it is...
That in itself is the Guardian. It must be an appalling place to work for reasonable, intelligent people.
When I was younger, I used to describe myself as a Guardian reader NOT now, I find it unreadable. I must be getting old.
They are the 'Guardian' of Woke
@@inglesconalan5360 I was watching an interview, I think it was on this channel where someone described the BBC newsroom in the morning and how it was either the Guardian or Independent on every desk. It reminded me of the line from Star Wars where Obi Wan describes Mos Eisley as a "wretched hive of scum and villainy".
@@chrisneedham5803 "Guardian of Puke".
@minxymissy1 Even if your disagreement is rational, logical and a statement of fact. You can tell the agenda of the paper by the articles they do not allow comments on. You can't contradict the attempt at conditioning the public.
My favorite quote on race was in an interview with Morgan Freeman. When asked by the interviewer how we eliminate racism his brilliant quote was...
"Stop talking about it"
Yes, but there is one side that has a lot of trouble not making it an issue no matter how relevant the situation.
That is a stupid idea. Why stop talking about something that has so many consequences? Essentially that is what the left is trying to impose. They want us to pretend that all races are the same, that race doesn't exist.
Because if you keep talking about it, people are going to lose interest in it. Fatigue is the word. I'm with Morgan on this one.
@@spiritsplice incorrect. The left is the party of identity politics, they not only do not beileve nor acknowledge all races are the same but try and convince those whose ancestors might have been discriminated against in the past that they have a valid claim to be angry at those in the present who had nothing to do with said discrimination. This creates a victimhood mentality that brings us much further from racial unity then any past discrimination does and puts them in a mindset that limits the true potential of said individuals. It is also hypocritical as the Democratic party was the party of racism and slavery, google racist dixiecrats, these are the people that fought against ending slavery and fought for laws that strengthened segregation after slavery was abolished..... 99 % of them were democrats. They realized the climate was shifting though and couldn't continue on this racist path though so they created a narritive that slavery and the civil war was the fault of the white man, or the south. The truth is that it was a fight between those trying to continue slavery (the democrats) and those trying to stop them (the republicans).
The year before the civil war started not one republican owned a slave. You won't learn this in textbooks but it is all factual information which I urge you to check for yourself.
Sure there are still individual aholes out there who are racist as f$@k but there are no laws in our country that discriminate against any race or limit them from having every opportunity everyone else has. The only thing that limits them is telling them they are victims which might make them hesitant to persue the american dream.... feeling like the deck is stacked against them when it is not.
This all stems from constantly talking about race. Not only is it not a stupid idea, it might be the most brilliant thing ever uttured about racial relations. You are of course entitled to your opinion but I urge you to consider what I've said and do your research as you are being lied to all in the interest of collecting more votes for the left.
@@grandmasterdrew63 No. ALL politics is about identity. There is no way around it.
" not one republican owned a slave."
sigh. You are about 20 years behind the curve.
"there are no laws in our country that discriminate against any race or limit them from having every opportunity everyone else has. "
Yes there are. Affirmative action, quotas, etc are laws that discriminate against whites.
"feeling like the deck is stacked against them when it is not."
Nature stacked the deck against them. Low intelligence, low impulse control, short time preference, more violence, more crime, etc. That is what limits them, not your silly "Democrats are the real racists" nonsense. They can never achieve what Whites do in a White society because they don't have the hardware and they never will. The only solution is to return them to Africa. America is a White country, founded by Whites, FOR Whites. It is in the founding documents. Stop the Cuckservative LARPing and wake up to the fact that demographics is destiny.
I also never noticed race while watching stuff. I hate that intersectionalty has changed this about me.
The funniest thing about modern society is the hilarity of the politically correct outraged grappling with an inability to rationalise the hyperbole of humour, especially satire.
My Mother had a sense of humour bypass operation and it was a success !!!!!!!
The left can't meme, either.
Easy to cast Titania. Just get one of the rich kid Guardian feminists to go on stage and be themselves.
Ill be honest dude duped me cause the level of stupid he is making fun of truly exist expert level trolling
if you look up a woman named saira rao, her tweets are almost IDENTICAL to titania mcgrath's. she also did an interview with sargon of akkad where she parroted all the ridiculous talking points that titania would say. it's hard to tell who is parody and who is real
Exactly if it's done well you would never know it's a troll account because it's basically what 90% of what Twitter is.
This reminds me of Rush Limbaugh's trolling of feminists. His _Undeniable Truth of Life Number 24_ is "Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream." That's just a world of ouch.
identity politics is inherently racist, you don't have to discuss much with an identity politician to see a seething bedrock of hatred based on gender and or race
In the past (at least from the late 70's to the early 2000's) it was never about your race or sexuality. It was about presenting a story and in comedy nobody cared about your skin color or sexuality (Lenny Henry and Graham Norton being two examples who have had great success) and there was little in the way of identity politics. In current media it's nearly always about your race, sexuality or religion and ruins the experience for many people who just want to be entertained without being spoken down to or 'educated'.
Exactly right about years ago re race, gender etc in popular culture - you didn't notice - it was all about being good, not identity. How I miss those days...
Imagine the future then?
@@cyberpunk11x a horrible dystopia in which every identity group is scared of interacting with any other identity group while immigration replaces us all without anybody noticing because we're all too busy redefining our genitalia? Sounds like hell m80.
I grew up with Martin Luther King Jr's philosophy that you judge someone by the content of their character. Where you come from is irrelevant, it's where you're at and where you're going that's important.
MLK is an inconvenient truth. They want us to be divided into small groups that hate or mistrust one another. Small angry groups are easy to control.
@divorcedme Or as my mother taught me as a child back in the 80s "people are cunts because they are cunts, not because of their race, religion, sex or sexuality".
Only our collective 'Funny Bone' will save us from the Red Terror. All power to you! 👊😉
Its led us into it so far.
"I described Romesh Ranganathan as not having 'funny bones' and the person I said it to hasn't spoken to me since.
Was I wrong?"
Yes you were because as everyone surely knows _Nish Kumar_ TOPS the list of most talentless, humourless efnik 'comedian' box ticker at the Beeb right now. Romesh is arguably a close second though!
Tatiana would probably think that the "Red Terror" has something to do with her menstrual cycle.
For the glory of Kek and Lord Pepe!
makara80 You should check out Dan Nainan.
See how the troll is calm collected amd intelligent. But the trolled are raging.
😁
My teenage daughter and her friends all follow Titania. There is hope for the future!
Yeah, but are they following "her" ironically though? I hope they're not seriously following her.
Indeed XD
@Fred Freddy you sound like a bitch,bitch.
@Fred Freddy you think buying the far left narrative that's been repeatedly debunked is a good idea?
@Fred Freddy - You're insane! There was an all out investigation into Trump and possible collusion and it came up with nill! It's hilarious to me because it was actually the left colluding with Russia! It was the left trying to dig up dirt on Trump! It was the left who sort information from Russia and even shifty Shiff was willing to accept naked pictures of Trump from supposed Russians! Too bad he was being played for the fool he is though, eh?
You people are sick in the head, you need help! I know you desperately wanted all those lies to be true and I know you'll ignore all the very obvious corruption from your own side! But I just want you know, everyone knows and you look like a complete buffoon!
Hillary Clinton paid for dirt on Trump, she received a package of complete unsubstantiated bullshit and used it to spy on Trump and his campaign! She was handed the questions before debates, she and the DNC rigged their own internal election! Hillary sold uranium to Russia! Hillarys husband was good friends with Jeffery Epstein and had visited the pedo island on multiple occasions! Jeffrey even had a picture on Bill wearing Monica's dress in his office!
Lets not forget the email scandal and how the very same people supposedly investigating Trump also investigated Hillary and wrote her exoneration before conducting a single interview! It was admitted that she held top secret information on a private server!
Now we have Joe Biden, you know, the guy that can't stop touching kids and trying to sniff their hair and kiss them! Openly admitting that he bribed the Ukrainians to stop their investigation of his sons dodgy dealings!
We have Obama on tape stating to Putin himself "I will be able to do more once I'm elected!
The corruption from your side goes on and on and on... Everybody knows about it! You can choose to ignore it all you like but we will not!
Do Titania in drag... The woke police will struggle with that
Someone's been watching Crowder 😎
Na, it's taking a role that could have been filled by a woman.
If only these people were rational...
The only difference to a rational person between Titania's tweets and those of the other wokescolds is that the inherent contradiction in the philosophy is slightly easier to spot.
For example, a real wokescold wouldn't say "punch people in the name of tolerance", they'd say something like "punch Nazis" with the reason that they're Nazis being that they're bigots, i.e., intolerant.
It is the exact same hypocrisy though. It's just _very slightly_ easier to spot. It's also way more honest. I mean, the whole process of condemning people who disagree with you to the status of Nazi is simply so that they can arrive at a point where they can justify to themselves punching you in the name of tolerance.
Titania's tweets remove the lie they're telling themselves. It doesn't do much for the rest of us, I mean, it's obvious to any sane person what they're doing right off the bat. So the message isn't made much clearer for us. It's the removal of the lie they tell themselves that makes the Left angry about the tweets.
In other words, absolutely perfect satire
6' 37" Genius: That is Titania's version of Bob Monkhouse's gag 'They laughed when I said I'd be a comedian, they're not laughing now!'.
Bob’s joke is surely one of the greatest ever, so simple, precise and...funny.
Victoria wood is sadly missed. I have a memory of one of her skits where a very grandiose author speaks lovingly of windswept northern moors and granite chiseled northern working class women. She asked where in the north does he live? Islington he replies "I haven't been back since I left for university."
You know, I never got Victoria wood. I will revisit her with an older war. I was more into bill hicks and George Carlin
I will revisit her with an older war...
That is a very interesting freudian slip.
Another insightful and enjoyable interview. Thanks for posting it.
Also, excellent take on Friends. I recommend anyone who’s interested in this check out Tom Scharpling’s (from Best Show) podcast: Meet My Friends the Friends.
great conversation!...would never see anything like this on the BBC or shill media
@@hautecouture2228 lol
Instead of admitting it was parody he should have said he was trans and Titania was his femme name. The SJWs would then praise him.
Such a great idea.
He still could...... That's the beauty of it all
Classic!
Trolling SJW’s is taking off as a sport ! They are so easy to trigger ! 😂
Trolls trolling trolls.
@fynes leigh It is in English. It's not Swahili.
@fynes leigh No, it's not. Let's break it down. A sentence is complete if it has a *subject* (a noun), an *action,* (a verb) that the subject performs, and an *object,* (another noun) that receives the action of the subject.
For example: Leigh kicks the ball. Leigh (the subject) kicks (the action) the ball (the object). "Leigh kicks the ball" is a complete and understandable sentence.
Likewise, "Trolls trolling trolls" has a subject (Trolls) and action being performed (trolling) and and object receiving the action (trolls).
If you know what "trolls" are, and what "trolling" is, the meaning is clear:
_One group of trolls is preforming the action of trolling on another group of trolls._
This might be clearer as a sentence, but it is also awkward, and boring to a reader. "Trolls trolling trolls" says the same thing grammatically, but using a bit of wordplay that some reader, not you of course, but someone else, may find amusing.
Here is *****THE****** problem... "intersectional types up to the rafters in tech"... Let's boil that down: ACTIVISTS. INFILTRATING. EVERYTHING. We have to teach companies how to carefully NOT hire activists... do a background check for activism... and do NOT hire them.
Leftist academia openly groom students into activists, though. Avoiding it is much easier said than done.
Many big companies embrace "diversity" ie non-Whites. Yet this apparently isn't discrimination😏How can that be??
@@megmartel6005 Threats.
Great interview, thanks. I dare say the material writes itself for Andrew. He just has to keep his ears & mind very open at all times.
I'm so glad there are still normal people out there.
I had an sjw boss who didn't get the jokes I was making, usually about him, and told me I need to use a funny voice when I'm joking.
Should have told him you weren't joking...
I Saw a story, I think BBC, this week with several black women bemoaning the racism they have encountered from white men who didn't want to date black women. Becaus you aren't allowed to have any personal preference any longer. I am tall but must date short men and should also date religious men even though I am an agnostic. Next we will need to get married to whoever is chosen for us from a random lottery. O wait they already do that in India and Middle Eastern countries where they pick yours future spouse for you. I can't wait to see who I get!
Spot on about "Friends".
Not surprisingly there's at least one article online condemning it as "problematic".
Now go over to the online ‘intersectionality calculator’ to confirm your level of systemic oppressiveness. To my horror, I found I was 100% more privileged than others. So I’m now trying hard to be less male, less white, and less old.
Good luck with that😳😳😳
Really great interview. Just the right amount of talking from the host, and lots of interesting topics covered and questions asked.
These interviews are wonderful and credit to you for such a light touch with the process.
@20min What they'd say now:
"How could you not notice race in comedy? What are you, some kind of racist?"
Because my job as a plumbing & heating engineer whom cannot offer a “ standby or emergency breakdown/ same day service ( unless it’s guaranteed of course ) and I don’t necessarily want to boil my identity to being my paid pastime, I’ve had to resort to this - when my Sunday or evening is interrupted by someone i owe no favours to - insisting I get in my van , drive to their house , climb into some tiny space and perhaps call on years of experience to tackle something which should last 40 years if required - but could have lasted another week as it’s already done , to then be offered 20 quid whilst they’re scraping 8 quid so worth of food into the bin , I respond with “ Steve the plumber isn’t back until tomorrow after nine o clock . I’m Steph and I’ll tell him “ (if you ever wondered why plumbers charge 70 for call outs , would You do as I’ve described above for a total stranger for 20 quid if you’ve already worked hard all day ? ) love from wessexshire
This guy is a great comic, whip smart and left of centre. So, ideally placed to expose the hypocrisy/pathology of wokeism
"Woke" are the biggest sheep
They're little soldiers for the Commies....and they're too dumb to know it😳
UA-cam recommendations for once bring me something good?
See Mark Dice. 😁
Great interview, thank you. Always such a pleasure to hear people genuinely incredulous about the nonsense that is going on today. ‘Friends’ will never be the same again!
I wonder if those activists writer that talked about Marry Poppins and other silly things were actually following Titania unironically.
Marry Poppins... that is a freudian slip !
Did Cathy Newman inspire the title of this show?
So you're saying that Cathy Newman shouldn't have her TV show?
So what you are saying is lobsters run this channel?
Cathy Newman is one of his characters!!!
So you're saying Cathy Newman deserves contempt because she's a cis-woman?
This was brilliant, I actually couldn't help laughing even tho' the topics covered are quite serious and worrying, it's just that today's popular culture is at times so ridiculous, which is Andrew's point. Woke really deserves to be satirised more, as long as you can put up with the outrage from the real-life Titanias of this world. It was interesting that Andrew classified himself politically as Left but now finds his views are now more aligned with the Right on such things as free speech and free expression in general. I think there would be many, many people of a Liberal persuasion who would now find themselves more at home on the Right.
Andrew clearly says his home is not the pro-capitalist right, and says he is in the general camp of the left and socialism. Good ! And there are many other socialists, like me, who firmly defend free speech.
People are so scared of words it makes me want to vomit
They want to "progressively" shut down the free use of language, thereby preventing the free exchange of ideas, and thought.
Reason why the S.K woke people get triggered by Titania is the same reason they get so triggered by the NPC meme ^^ !
It puts up a mirror to them & forces them to see themselfs :D !
S.K?
Dieter Hamann's English accent has really come along.
This man's mind is complex and nuanced. He needs to go on the Joe Rogan show for a 2 hour deposition LOL
@English Teacher Who would you put in the front line?
LOL yes
My definition of ‘WOKE,’ verb: A recently identified psychological condition characterised by a malfunction of an individual’s offence detectors, resulting in a pathological hypersensitivity to the thoughts, statements, actions and feelings of those who have a propensity to think what they like, say what they think and tell the truth. The condition is most prevalent in those of a left-wing/liberal persuasion who find reality hard to bear and who are deluded into believing that their particular view of the world is correct. Examples of the condition can frequently be found among academics in the Liberal/Arts, students, journalists, socialist-politicians, serving police officers, the judiciary and most of the main stream media.
@Ranger detective Foley Thanks! Much appreciated
The Analysis on the Dark side of friends is actually true of many of the greatest winning shows of the past..
I reckon where we are now with the ‘Titanias’ of our day are a result of a concerted subtle ways Media and entertainment have ‘brought us up’
I sometime watch a re-run of the 80s and 90s and suddenly don’t find it funny due to the obvious devious agendas😥
I still find them funny. Smokey and the Bandit and The Cannonball Run are two of my favourite films. Fuck political correctness.
Have you considered AOC to play the part? She’s been cast as a member of Congress. Great satire.
Wayne Smith Why would a comedian satirizing British comedy be interested in a USA politician ? We don’t care !
The joke

"punch people in the name of tolerance"
titania seriously sounds like a leftist .. pretty accurate impersonation you created there
edit: the more details i hear about her .. the more i have to say .. PERFECT description of todays leftists..
Well, that's opened my eyes to "Friends" - time for a rewatch!
Fantastic interview may even have made me re examine Friends lol keep up the good work guys
I was thinking that I may have to re watch Friends.
I totally called the dark undertows back in the day. The episode where Rachel gets Ross' girlfriend to shave her own head was the beginning of the darkness in my opinion.
"As soon as you throw an insult, you've lost." - I don't agree. That's like saying that as soon as you use profanity, you've lost. If your point has merit, it has merit despite the weaknesses and failings in the person who is arguing the point. I've encountered a lot of passive-aggressive sorts on the Internet whose sole line of argumentation is to get the other person (usually me at that time) as angry and frustrated as possible that the only response remaining is an insult. They won't cite their sources; they won't back up their claims; they make a lot of outlandish claims seemingly from their imagination; they twist whatever recognizable facts they present; they evade questions and sidetrack the discussion. Such people don't win the argument just because the other person slams them with an insult.
"You don't show you like someone and approve of someone by having sex with them, do you? That would be an odd world." - I don't know that all of the Progressives (for, this is where SJWs originate) have caught on to this, but you have actually revealed a core principle of the most "woke" of them; everybody has sex with everybody, à la "Brave New World" meets Free Love. That's where the "Love is Love" campaign naturally goes; you show love through sex, and not having sex is not showing love. The goal of LGBTQAI is to turn the world into a homogeneous orgy, without regard to sex or gender or age or family relationship... and, if you follow "The Young Turks," you know it also is without regard to species. And, yes, it is and will be a very odd world!
Progressives are highly debased, depraved, self-entitled and self-indulgent. They are revolutionaries intent on overturning all the established order, with themselves coming out on top; so, they are malcontents, disruptive and destructive, unmoored and actively opposed to all conventional standards. They condemn the past and all that was in it. It's dangerous that they have become socially popular, across all classes of society, holding positions of power in business and government.
You have lost... You have nothing left... But to insult..... You are suggesting because you have perceived facts that someone chooses to ignore and you call them a twat.. You have not lost the argument... But why waste insults on someone who clearly has no real counter argument other than to ignore facts.. Leave it there is no point.... Old saying.. Never argue with an idiot they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
@@embecmom5863 I totally agree. I've had a lot of debates with these people that have no facts to back up their opinions. I just calmy point out that we'll have to agree to disagree. Then I thank them for their input and wish them well. Admittedly it usually leads to another message of disbelief that anyone could possibly disagree with their unbacked up argument! But still, I've already said goodbye at this point and don't need to reply.
Excellent interview Peter, thank you. Interesting to hear how comedy has evolved in this current “woke” generation. People should realise that British comedy is or can be very specific to our shores and that making fun of people is only a joke ! at the end of the day.
What a concise and on'the-money speaker! Great channel, you are doing a great job of promoting a body of thought that is the antidote to irrationalism that has invaded our politics.
"Stay in your lane" is a modification and reiteration of the old "Know your place".
Pure condescension.
Iam Bob “check your privilege” is the US version
Not originally. It's an old trucker phrase that's being misused.
It has been used, and definitely should be used, re people pontificating/moralising about things completely outside of their expertise/education/experience. Armchair psychologists, for example. As a trained psychotherapist I just love it when the ordinary layman starts spouting off their pop psychology rhetoric at me (I call this phenomenon "laymansplaining").
Frakking brilliant!!! The 'Queen of Woke' is in reality a comedian and satirist!!! Oh the irony!!! I haven't stopped laughing !!!
I can't help but think that classic British tolerance, where we could, at the very least, see both sides of an argument, has been corrupted into woke nonsense. Such a shame.
The other day, I complained about a TV programme going "woke", and my friend asked what woke meant. I envy him.
At last. A thoughtful and entertaining UA-cam channel. Just found you, look forward to looking through this more.
Well done both best laugh for weeks
"When reality imitates satire..." that's where we are at in politics right now
Great interview. I was totally unaware of this fictional character but I love satire and am straight off to Amazon to buy a copy of Andrew's book. Such comedic writing deserves to be supported.
"she has to have the right look. . ." That had me chuckling, considering the previous remarks.
I'm in the US, I know Many woke folk. Andrew is right. 😎
"Laughing to show they're on side politically" describes Stewart Lee's audience.
Really only for his more recent stuff. "If You'd Prefer A Milder Comedian" isnt political and it's just brilliant comedy. Probably one of my favourite shows ever. BUT I went to see his most recent show and it was lazy. Opened with about 20 minutes of just making fun of me and people like me and it wasn't even witty. So yeah, I'd say he has gone that way more extremely in the last 5 years.
@@user-yh8gx9ng4u The Guardian love him, are you sure that's not why you think he's so great?
@@user-yh8gx9ng4u Fair enough, but what I've seen of Lee's (admittedly more recent) material, the only people that would find it funny would be those who agreed with the left-wing implications of his 'jokes.' I find his sneering persona to be not unlike that of James O'Brien were he to try his hand at 'comedy.'
@@user-yh8gx9ng4u Yeah I agree with you I just didn't think content provider was as original as his earlier stuff but it could have been a bad night. Most of it seemed just not like what I had been watching before (all his earlier stuff). I liked his Glasgow bit about immigration for instance, even if it is about me (kinda) so it wasn't just brexit and the Donald but they were just so obvious and beneath him I thought. I saw the punchline ten minutes before it landed.
@@user-yh8gx9ng4u All correct, but how does this apply to Stewart Lee?
I have seen several interviews now and have enjoyed them very much. I like the diversity ( in the proper sense ) of the topics and subjects. Have subbed and look forward to getting the notifications.
The only things I have missed since I left twitter are the Titania tweets ! Thanks a lot for the laughs.
Brilliant interview!
You know who is in power from the fact who opposes freedom of speech.
Hey Peter, great that you're getting your viewing figures up. I watch a lot of this kind of channel; and yours is up among the best, but among the least recognised.
Thanks from the team, Jon.
I only got onto Twitter a couple of months ago and have no idea how I ran across Titania but I immediately subscribed. I was a little disappointed to find out she's not real but Andrew is absolutely hysterical and good for a laugh every day. The satire would be massively over the top in a normal universe but in the world we live in it isn't satire for a large part of his/her audience.
Agree with him 100% about Friends.. Felt it, but he articulated it so well
I think the new term should be called neverlanders because they believe they shouldn't have to grow up...
👌 perfect analysis of ‘Friends ‘.
The first thing I notice after the eloquent Peter Whittle is the big ENGLISH dictionary. Good show!
This Tatania idea is brilliant. I love it.
Wow ! Britain is infected with politics. The most negative force in society is being embraced by its victims, who use it to define themselves. I'm enjoying watching it. I look forward to a politics free society, Is that sensible? I think it is vital.
Great interview, thank you. Especially appreciate the observations on "Friends". I did not watch that show but it certainly shows how subtle social engineering can be. Today with shows like Lucifer or The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (which is very dark), it's quite in the open.
actually I remember seeing similar things in 90210 (before Friends), that group were also behaving in nonsensical ways for "friends"
I humbly bow my head to two incredibly watchable personalities chewing the cud. This is what has been lacking from mainstream broadcast media for far too long these days.
Does anybody know where I can find the 'Friends' articles he talks about online?
George Carlin has staunchly left-wing political views.
Myself and plenty of other right-wingers were fans of him.
Sam Kinison had plenty of left-wing fans.
Does that exist anywhere today?
That was great. I enjoyed the discussion very much.
Fascinating interview and a fascinating series.
Brilliant. Ill be following you from now on 👏👏👏❤❤❤
I'd like to see Anne Marie Waters on.
For eall angelcynn.
How am I just being alerted to this wonderful thing now?
The reason the championing of Free Speech has shifted from the Classical Left to the Modern Right is that Free Speech is a counter-culture tool.
When your ideology is the minority viewpoint you much be in favor of Free Speech in order to have any chance of going up against the majority. But when you're the majority viewpoint, Free Speech gives a voice to the minority that you'd rather not have a voice. Western culture was largely a conservative culture post-war but it slowly flipped to a liberal culture over time, was fairly balanced in the 1990s and became truly liberal-dominated around 2010. The left's requirement for Free Speech in the 1960s simply isn't needed now heading into 2020 when they are the majority media voice. And the Right that was more than happy to limit Free Speech a half-century ago is finding itself needing that same Free Speech to have any chance of survival.
For us aging Liberals its been a bit of a system shock to witness the Left's abandonment to outright disavowal of Free Speech when for some of us we equated Free Speech to be a pillar of Liberalism. But its not, it never was, the Left and Free Speech just happened to coincide at the time of our political awakening. Which is why you'll hear modern Regressives referring to "Classical Liberalism" as allegedly part of the "Alt-Right". Its profoundly weird to find myself being lumped together with Nazis for no other reason than not believing liberal ideology is a holy orthodoxy where any disagreement is heresy.
"audiences more easily offended because they are all rich", exactly ! I always remember being at a Billy Connelly stand up in HK 25 years ago where some in the ex-pat crowd walked out upon being teased. The first sign of snowflakes!
Ahahaha! I’ve seen so many of those tweets and just knew it had to be an expert troll😂
when sir lefty farr wright followed and retweeted her I was convinced
Absolutely hilarious! I loathe twitter so hadn’t heard of the brilliant Titania. She may tempt me back on...
Jonathan Pie too? I know him. I don't do Twitter or Facebook, and only stay on UA-cam from habit I suppose. Pies good, and this sounds great too. Good stuff.
I'm reading 'her' book at the moment and it's hilarious
Mr Doyle is wrong about Mary Whitehouse. She showed that there needed to be some break on the creatives. For example there is probably a place for lesbian dramas with sex scenes, but on a Sunday night on a channel funded by a compulsory tax? Do you get my drift Doyle? Probably not......
Mary Whitehouse was wrong, she should have been closing down the BBC.
what he said about 20 minutes in reminded me of how on my tablet i read a lot of books and one day it said based on your reading you might like "girl power" and i was like wait why would it suggest that. I looked back and like 8 of the last 10 books i read had a female lead and I never really registered it by their gender just by me liking the story.
I wish I saw this earlier. I was at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Had I known, I would have gone to see this show.
Bernard Manning was less racist than most 'educated' people, nowadays.
Is it true that he admitted to being racist? Would like to see the context of that.
@@ceen3237 Yes, when asked by Mrs Merton (a fictional character played by Caroline Aherne) on her chat show. I suspect he answered "Yes" in an effort to wrong-foot her, but it rather backfired.
@ 20:00. exactly. They've brought race to the forefront,. i too, at 43, remember it never registered as a kid
I'm 23 and I can remember not thinking about this stuff as a kid. Hell go back 10 years and it wasn't as bad as it is now. How did we go so wrong?
@@marikroyals7111 social media echo-chambers and propaganda that goes completely unchecked
"And I suspect she is one of them"😂😂😂😂😂
it was the most fun thing about twitter ...getting something from titania each day. I liked her article in Guardian where she bemoaned that she couldn't call her book "my struggle" because it was already taken.
