TV Moments That Took Things Too Far
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 лип 2024
- In this golden age of television, writers can get away with pretty much anything. Even if the major networks are opposed, you can probably put your edgy show on cable or HBO. However, there have been a few moments when TV shows took things too far and ended up offending a lot of people, whether due to racial stereotypes or poor handling of hot button issues.
From the Seinfeld episode set during a Puerto Rican Day parade to the most unlikely (and most inappropriate) sitcom star of all time, let’s take a look at some TV moments that took things too far.

If you have ever tried to contact a tv network or movie studio to complain about content then you need to get a life.
but you SHOULD complain when they cancel good series... in fact, that's the only acceptable complaint in my book.
+Bret .Maverick
Actually, I'm highly inclined to agree with this statement.
+Gregory Samuel Teo
Oddly, I don't think I've ever been into a series enough that I've ever felt the inclination to do so. Admittedly, there were some that by the time they did pull the plug, it felt right or they'd milked it so long that I'd been waiting for it, though if done in the second or third season, I'd have been livid. It's pretty much this reason my uncle doesn't watch any "new show" until it's passed its third season... apparently, he had a lot of great shows get canned too early.
Bret .Maverick and stop being a sensitive bitch
Bret .Maverick right?! Lol who has that much time?
Fatality, Flawless logic...:)
Feminists are now defending Barbie dolls instead of defending real people ... Kill me
The Crack Addict he he I was joking
+Ghoul 17 But he isn't.
What? That had nothing to do with feminism though?
hype did you watched the video ? People were upset because they used FEMALE doll to have sex with male puppet
That has nothing to do with feminism. Jesus christ feminism isn't just a catch all for everything involving females that you don't like.
Are people seriously getting offended because of that barbie doll scene? Wow...
I know, I think 2 Broke Girls is hilarious including that scene!
Yeah, peoples dreams about barbie doll, the innocence of beauty symbol is ruined, barbie is sacred!
Loovvvved 2 Broke Girls. Watch reruns over and over. Great comedic 2 actresses, and Garrett Morris! Great writing. Made fun of EVERYONE, but with a heart!
Fuckin idiots
I watch for the brunette.
Sorry but married with children was not really for kid's it was more for adults and may I say was a great show 👍
Hmm... Alright you may say it.
Right? She sent her kids out of the room? Why was she letting them watch it in the first place? I mean I was 12 in 87. I didn’t get to watch married with children til 91 lol.
It was good up until about the last two seasons. After that it was just bad.
@@alienlife7754 true but there were real life reasons for that
This show is still funny has hell
Kat Dennings is a fucking goddess though
I strongly agree.
The TnA is epic
But the show is total trash
+RosieJonesRules That's your opinion. I actually love the show. Makes me laugh so hard.
10/10 would smash.
I loved the Al Bundy case, where the angry woman wrote ".. i then immediately send my kids out of the room" -- Who watches that show together with his kids? It's a comedy for adults. That woman obviously failed as parent and then started a riot over her own stupidity.
Yep.
My parents never let us watch adult comedies when we were children..
"No, you can't watch the Simpsons. But you can watch Perfect Strangers".
For which I am grateful.
It was a comedy, and I watched it as a child. Never did me any harm.
The show had children in it, and the word "Children" in the title. And it was on TV during prime time, and later on, after school. The makers knew it would be seen by children. They didn't care. All television is watched by children. TV people know that -- because American broadcasting is legally considered to be in the public realm -- whatever is being done on TV has the same status as if it were being done on a street corner outside an elementary school.
TV people are the ones who have popularized the idea that when THEY are inappropriate in front of children, it's somehow the PARENTS' fault. It's like a pervert flashing your kid on the subway, and then claiming that if you were a good parent, your kid wouldn't have been on the subway in the first place.
Legally, American airwaves belong to the American people, just like national parks. They are leased by companies to broadcast shows. But just because you've paid your lease doesn't mean you can do whatever you want on somebody else's property. Cable TV, on the other hand, is considered private.
+BemusedExpression I do wonder how Americans manage to live when they are so sensitive snowflakes. We, the rest of us here in the real world, have actual problems to deal with. I even watched the news as a child!
American whores are getting pregnant with baby daddy's before attaining major status . Wat the fuk is she talking about lewd things
I watched married with children...as a child... and Al Bundy somehow did not turn me into a lesbian. Shocking, I know.
Good for you. ;)
But did Marcy?
Turned me into a lesbian. I cannot even look at a guy now. But my eyes will follow women around everywhere.
Yeah I don't think one turns in to a lesbian!
LoL
People today:
- You're so easily offended!
- OMG!!! I can't believe you've just said that!
I take great offense at your comment, sir, and I especially dislike the next one! :)
Zajebiste profilowe :D. Pan Andrzej byłby dumny.
That's it! I'm reporting ALL of you to whoever will listen.
@Jeremy Kirkpatrick i'm offended that you're offended by this offense!
To right...
Shows like Simpsons, and family guy are equal opportunity offenders, no race, religion or nationality is sacred. and that is why nobody should get offended or take them seriously. if anything, they poke fun at stereotypes. and demonstrate how ridiculous some actually are.
As for shows like two broke girls, really? the whole show has had sexual innuendo since day one, if you get offended by a naked barbie, you should not have been watching this adult show in the first place. same goes for Married with Children.
agriperma Who the fuck gets offended by a naked Barbie???
Feminists get offended by a clothed barbie.
+Spectra Only a dickless Ken!
VintageLJ feminists don't give a fuck about any Barbie dolls. You're thinking about middle aged conservatives who get angry about things like swearing on tv.
I'll admit though I'm not a Simpsons fan now, I thought they were pretty brave and clever when they got in trouble by the Cuban community. It seemed to "make up" for that whole mess they did a second episode featuring Homer flying to Cuba and showed it off as a beautiful place... that is satirically corrupt with illegal activities involving sports, lol!
People love to be butthurt these days....
Stop being so racist, sexist, homophobic and offensive to baby octopuses!
I don't know that we can call the Married with Children complaint 'these days'. I do see some terrible hairstyles as I go about my daily business, but if that isn't 1980's hair then I don't know what is.
I'd love to butt hurt Kat denning!
Boat Axe oh YES. I would as well 😂
d3nv1 I fuckin agree
The complete lack off class was the whole premise of Married with Children. The show was intended for adults.
I never saw the show until syndicated re-runs, but I remember hearing my co-workers raving about season 1. Fast Fwd to 19 ??, several years anyway and when I tuned in, they were a few seasons in, and I HATED it! I thought it was intended to make it's audience "less intelligent than they were when they came in" trailer trash" humor at it's finest. But when they re-ran Season 1 for the second time (cause I had missed the first), I saw a MUCH better, "less stupid/trashy" tv sitcom where I didn't keep thinking I smelled Al's B.O. while he sat in front of the set in his "wife-beater" lol. I SAW the appeal and WTF happened to this show???
I have a lesson to teach, TVs have a remote, you can use it to CHANGE THE CHANNEL
Or mute something, or turn the TV off...
It's one thing to be 'precious'...but how do these people become the benchmark of what everyone else can watch!
i listen to to radio, or watch anime, or read manga.
It's just me, Leena, the strage part of all this was that the offender lady had to watch more of the TV show that offended her. Saying if you don't like something then turn it off or change channels is harder than it soundes. That is why people show down at car wrecks to see the horrible sights that would offend most people.
@Nolan Is Innocent fair enough
back in my day.... TV's had an off switch.
Tom Neu omg you old fogey!!!! Hey mine does too!
Heather Taylor So, if you don't like something you can turn it off too? Wow, I mean what are the odds yours would have an off switch like mine. seems like a way easier route than start a campaign to get a show taken off the air.
Tom Neu there is also a button that can change the channel to something you might enjoy watching 😱
What's an off switch???????
Tom Neu I seem to remember those!☺
These people complaining about what their kid might see on TV really need to take some advice from Bender off of Futurama. "have you ever tried simply turning off the TV, sitting down with your children, and hitting them".
You win the internet with that comment XD
Luke AOD turning the TV off and doing some board games
+Luke AOD
Your comment right now is everything to me.😂😂😂
Luke AOD Bender is the Worst but, I agree.
Luke AOD- Ok, that was just PRICELESS.
People who are "triggered" and offended by every thing under then sun, are the MOST offensive things of all
Like donald trump. He is the biggest snowflake ever. Anyone says anything bad about him... here comes a twitter storm. Cant even have the USS john Mcain near him. Dudes pathetic.
@@iamchickensalad5040 i understand you have your opinions, but i can't stand when people add trump in EVERYTHING. I could be at church and a pastor adds Trump for a laugh and i can't. I just don't see the point. We aren't on the topic of Trump.
@ super original.
Republicans are offended by everything!!! you better not disagree with a Republican.. it will be s blizzard!!
+Nikolina Dobreva Trump IS a joke, haven't you figured that out yet?
" Took my children out the room after 5 mins of watching" married with children is not for kids, silly lady
But she forced herself to watch the rest of the show "to see who was running adverts for such a program". One wonders if she even knew where her kids came from.
Hah i been watching married with children since i was a toddler same with Beavis and butthead
people called to complain about a Barbie? Are you serious?
Rani Jones I bet 95% of little girls today do that stuff with thier Barbie and Ken and 90%+ of older girls did it when they were little
True! I'm from the early 90s and my barbie and my teddie sure had some fun when I was little. How did parents think it would play out when you give a kid a miniature naked woman to play with?
This is the kind of stuff you see on Gossip Magazines and such... really boring content for UA-cam
Women called get it straight lol
Rani Jones
Americans...
Murdering people and blaming TV.... seems legit.
anything can influence people to murder - even slenderman. just most dont have a motivation to harm, unlike certain religious sects...
Well, honestly there was something wrong with their mind to begin with. That shit doesn't just build over one episode.
lol
Like murder didn't exist before TV 😪
VOID x Haha so so true. Perfect comment.
5:15 I think The Simpsons made fun of EVERY foreign country the family visited.
I especially liked when they went to Japan and their flight was accosted by Godzilla. So hilarious! They made fun of everyone and if it offended anyone then you just didn't get it in my opinion. I also think it's sad that some characters are not allowed anymore because of "racism" like Apu but they can make fun of dumb white guy, old rich white guy, religious white guy, drunk white guy, etc.
I like when they made fun of Australia.
I’m an Aussie and I loved when they came here lol
yeah i didn't care
The simpsons has made fun of all but nothing
What they didn't mention about the Mulder and Scully episode is that the mother was kept trapped in under a bed, all her limbs severed, and only brought out when the brothers had sex with her. Like... I have no words
......
That IS the episode mentioned in the video.
That was a real episode? I'm stunned.
when shows isn't for kids, dont show them to them. that's like watching the Simpson's with your kids and getting mad when you see something you don't like
Whoops! We watch the Simpsons with my 4 year old, I've been watching it since I was a kid. What we won't watch with him is family guy or American dad which is way worse than the Simpsons.
junglepitts My parents let me watch all of those shows, but they aren't bad. :)
Or Family Guy.... which even has a warning before each episode
I've watched the Simpsons since before I could remember lol
Lol I used to always laugh at folx who think the Simpsons is a kids show
people are triggered because of a naked doll ??!!
Yes:D How riddicolous is even that the title of this movie is wrong, some jokes with the doll or al bundy scenes are "tv got things too far? what a funny world
Well, it was a naked doll. All those non-parts in plastic displayed for all to see. I wonder how a kid is supposed to change her Barbie's clothes if naked, plastic dolls are offensive??
Get his/her parents to do it instead naturally. /sarcasam
It's just political correctness gone too far
Jesse Rudolph ofcourse is not the same bar talkir locker room talk is not the same as an entire organization(hollywood, MSM) Spending billions of dollars trying to brainwash an entire Population that Raping little boys and girls is ok. That is the reason why there are so many underage prostitution, strip clubs, drugs and Pedos in Liberal cities.
Married with children was epic, it is still one of the funniest programs ever made.
specially if you never seen All in the family or Monty phyton
Married with children best show ever.!!!
Woah Bundy!
Woah Kelly.!!!
Everyone in Hollywood wanted to have a cameo on that show.!!!
@@timothyflanagan3641 Kelly was the Marcia Brady of the 80's.
I find it funny that that didn't include a South Park episode because every episode takes it too far
Green Gob there is a south park one
Maybe they're preparing a 45 minute clip dedicated to South Park's controversies...
So just the first season then :D
Green Gob > implying that a tv show can go too far
Green Gob Apparently South Park can do no wrong. Even though it's the worst cartoon I've ever seen.
These shows don't take it too far. The audience takes it too far.
Lame
Ikr
True that. If you dont have the heart and stomach to watch then dont watch it at all.
And I go back to if you dont like it dont watch it. Turn off the tv or change the channle. You are free to do that and no one is forcing you to watch highly mature shows.
@@dragonzonezone6573 shut the fuck up
Most ironic aspect of this... those complaining about what's influencing their children fail to grasp that what they are complaining about isn't meant for children. Said complaint signifies the person complaining is both a busybody looking for and issue, as well as a poor parent who is exposing their children to what they deem to be harmful. The shows cited are not for children and are aired at a time when they have no legitimate reason to be watching TV.
well said
She let her kids watch Married With Children not expecting adult content?
She should've never smoked weed before sitting down with kids. What a buzz kill.
@@sobernow11 it maybe she should have. 🤷♂️
MWC was still new at the time
People just need to chill out. Seriously, tv isn't the worst place to see these things. If you don't like it, don't watch it.
zefyr33 or change the channel hahaha people are funny
unfortunately, there are always going to be those people who have to nitpick at every single bit of media that comes out. They've got nothing better to do with their lives.
these kinds of things are already overrated. They bother to do such Vanity Fair memes... This is the kind of stuff you see on Gossip Magazines and such... really boring content for UA-cam, _"ooh Paris Hilton has a freckle on the armpit! Oh no! That was just a light reflex!! Who cares?!"_
What about the episode with carters robe....and ..well never mind, people who remember it will get which one it was
Except that you have to watch it in order to know you don't like it. Or is it just me?
"I sent my kids out of the room after 5 minutes of this trash." Who forced you to watch it? Were the off button and the channel switch both broken? You have the freedom not to watch, why do feel that you have the freedom to stop others from watching.? Very hypocritical and scary that you think you have a right to decide what is best for others when you can't even turn the channel.
"why do feel that you have the freedom to stop others from watching.?"
That is the problem with conservatives (and honestly all who get offended on behalf of others, as well). They believe that if they find something distasteful, then it should be banned.
Their mantra is basically "If I don't like it, no one can." It's childish bullshit.
+KH 121 It's weird, because it's almost a total reversal. Or maybe both sides are just groups with different views on what's "right" to do, all the while pulling the same shit, while criticizing each other for it.
Hypocrites, basically.
+KH 121 Yeah, maybe. I think it's just how people are. They want to make everyone agree with them, but they don't have the patience, so they resort to violence and underhanded tactics.
Ultimately the result is the same: the few people who do eventually agree generally only do it out of fear (peer pressure or genuine) and the rest are more adamant than ever against them.
Familyguy is the best show in the world. Brilliant .
Ed Tin- would you expect more from a conservative? they are consistent in their belief that they should be able to tell others how to live and what to do
The fact that "Dexter" lasted FIVE seasons says some not very nice things about our "civilization"
i watched dexter in jail lol
Still, it was a tremendous show. But you're right...
@@ChristmasLore Not pointing fingers...I watched it too...
But it came out on cable tv, so it was allowed to do a lot more.
@@randyisftw I'm phuckin laughing again lol
Married with children was first proper reality show.
The only episode of Dexter that made me want to kill people was the last one and those feelings were specific to the writers and producers.
Nudism real
Hestias Lariat yes that last episode was crap =/
I liked the last episode . It made sense.
I knew Mark Twitchell. Anything to do with that show gives me nightmares now.
same
This entire video in a nutshell : "people got offended by a controversial joke"
Me : "who gives a fuck?"

I've been to Brazil, The Simpsons Creators was dead on with that episode..
People get offended so easily,if u don't like it then don't watch it,it's that simple😊😊
True
I'm offended that you said that!!! 😂😁
Can his voice be be any more irritating??
I'm guessing he's 90 years old
I guess some people just don't like Australian's narrating stuff.
No because it isnt
His cadence is so weird. Misplaced pauses everywhere
It isn't his voice it's how thick his Australian accent is. No offence to the guy but it sounds like he is trying to sound as Australian as possible.
IF you find a show offensive dont watch it if you find that offensive then your kids should not be watching it either
Married with children wasn't a kids show, why was your kid watching it? Smh.
Married with children used to be at 6o clock so everytime I woke up, my parents would show me an episode
Me, my sister, and parents watched it Sunday nights like a family show. No wonder I am so screwed up.
6am was syndication
Anybody who's offended by anything on Married With children, has no sense of humor, and probably just has no sense, period.
Alan Peterson or is a fat woman
put it this way, I was 9 yo when that show came out. Me and my dad saw every episode when it aired. So yeah, 100 million likes to your comment.
@IJN Yamato I find nothing so offensive as that "Gay Pride Parade". Now THAT'S an abomination ugh!
I'm offended by people that watch TV, and are offended.
PC160 i'm offended that you're offended.
I'm offended by the fact that people watch tv at all.
i'm offended that you're offended about people still watching television.
i am offended by people who SUCK (which is about 99.99% of them).
i'm just tired of being offended. ):
thumbs up for being honest and mentioning the 2016 Olympics.
It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what
-Stephen Fry
People really need to learn the words "fiction", "comedy", "joke", and "cartoon".
We used to know those words, till liberals decided they needed to put warning label's on everything!
What about the words "good taste"
Jack Challenge Hey there. I can't speak for anyone but me but I love comedy in most forms. Only a problem with kids wanting TV time after school. 😀and the shows seem deliberately irritating to a lot of people. I liked Showtimes Dexter, but couldn't watch it with the family I'm sure you understand...🌻
If I want 'good taste' I'm gonna order something with 'good taste' and not waste my money and/or time on something I dislike or something distasteful. ...and of course there are many shows on TV that fall under said categories , but I'm not a soft liberal wackadoodle who is complaining to media my eyes have seen something and they are to blame for it. GTFO with that soft BS, change the channel lil biatches, it's people like you who began the snowball effect of political correctness , and now we have over a dozen genders and every single one of them has a mental illness which they are told by vilecrats it's their RIGHT messing up young kids 100 fold more than anything married with children has ever shown. There are 2 genders, stick the PC up yours if you're a looney liberal and/or believe there are more than 2 , or if you want to act militant and police everything on TV so that you may never feel offended because you feel it lacks 'good taste'.
Nothing comedic about burning a flag
In South Park they blew up my country for not agreeing with all the other countries. Guess what we did when we found out about that? No, we did not, cry, moan, bitch and ban that episode. We laughed.
And blew up all the other countries.
MinimiMax i know right! American pc culture is the worst
The funny thing is Brazil really looks like that Simpsons episode.
niizzy a
"That episode portrayed Brazil extremely accurately." - Brazilian
Bryan Keller have you been to Brazil?
So the lady that complained about Married...with children still watched the show after being offended? 🤔
married with children was a hilarious show some of the characters lines were what people in real life are afraid to say.
Wasn't that the premise of All in the Family.
People got triggered over a barbie doll. The fuck is wrong y'all?
That looked more STUPID than anything!
what if a child see this?
Why would a child be watching?
Johnny Skinwalker Then they are going away with some life lessons in advance.
Contards. They have serious issues.
Really? This is your definition of going too far? Very weak.
Iria Roth No, this is easily offended idiot's definition of going too far.
lol, good aold Married with Children. I still remember it from childhood and the best line EVER: "Did you miss me, Al?" "With every shot so far" LOLZ!
I could'nt imagine what these people would do if they started watching game of thrones.......
I just have to say that if people started watching game of thrones they would have hart of attack.
I remember watching that X-Files episode. I was like 12 and we got it when Netflix first came out. It was one of my favorites?? I was fascinated by how twisted it was bc it's not really fiction, that type of shit happens. Just like Family Guy's abortion episode. People should be aware of the best and the worst things the world has to offer. You can't live in a 50's ideal bubble. And you can't blame TV Shows for someone murdering another person. Blame they crazy ass.
Sydney Bishop yea me too i was around that age and when they rolled that lady out from under the bed it freaked me out lol
Not a single one of these incidents went "too far" in my opinion.
agentalbert
Gotta get the UA-cam views somehow. People whining about how PC we are is in vogue at the moment so it sells.
Well that’s just your opinion man
It's about what people of the time thought, not you. As evident from the montage, content quality dropped as the years passed and audience sensitivity was gradually increasing aberations, so no wonder you're now finding none of these appalling.
Oh c'mon man, Heil Honey? hahaha, it was a little bit too far.. what were they thinking!? haha
agentalbert dogs and animals dying in general is a hard line to cross
If you don't like it, don't watch it and keep your mouth shut.
The X-Files episode, why was it banned? Are they trying to say that that kind of incest doesn't actually occur or did it hit too close to home for the network executives (if you get my meaning)
No, I don't get your meaning, moron.
IKR! My wife, mother, and sister thought it was done very tastefully, and she's got great taste. (Read it again, you'll get it sooner or later.)
Tbf, it was a pretty graphic episode with rather shocking content for network TV at that time (mid 90's). It also happens to be one of the best written and acted episodes of the entire series. Most X-Files fans agree it is definitely in the top 10 best. That said, network TV in the mid 1990's was still pretty prudish by today's standards. You may or may not remember, since I have no idea how old you are, but I was in my 20's in the 90's and remember the strict FCC standards well.
don't see what the big deal is about "2 broke girls", I think that show is so funny. and that barbie doll scene was hillarious!! lol
the show isn't funny, that's a lie.
the doll thing doesn't matter
@@savagepinksock that's your opinion and I respect that. Like I never liked Seinfeld that show in my opinion was not funny. To each their own.
How does showing a naked Barbie qualify as going too far😂
DirtyDinner24 not the doll I guess as much as simulating sex acts with it on national TV. Pretty tacky if kids are allowed to watch - a bad idea in my opinion.
Well, I'm not really sure on what year that article came out, but if it did come out in 2017, then the article would say that "poor female barbie doll did not give consent".
DirtyDinner24 too*
People who have 0 sex lives obviously
Phillip Chambers well I'm pretty sure 2 broke girls is definitely not a children's show
So i'm clear, Family guy can air actual crimes like murder, assault, sexual assault, sexual harassment, drunk driving, etc. but can't have an episode about an actual legal right like abortion? 'Murica.
You could've called this "TV Moments That Crossed the Line", but this title makes sense, too.
Should rename to "Scenes people didn't realize they didn't have to watch."
Be fair, they were too idle to pick the remote up, what else could they do but watch?
People should have realised they weren't the target demographic though.
+Ciaran Mcloughlin
You want people tovtake responsibility for their own actions? Behave like grown up human beings and not like spoilt toddlers believe the universe revolves around them? How can you be so cruel? You'll be expecting them to feed themselves and wipe their own backsides next.
Foster Maltloaf I can answer that, they can write a strongly worded letter
@@fostermaltloaf5189; TV drones, with 500 plus channels they can just find a program to their liking. They are today's busybody neighbours! That's the reason good fences make for good neighbours!

Johan Padmore '
Johan Padmore exactly right just change the channel how hard is that for people to do 🤔🤔🤔
TV has more than one channel now? Since when?

My late paternal grandmother (1887-1974) used to listen in while we watched The Red Skelton Show which often had on the dancing group The Rockets. She used to sit there watching their dance routines whispering "hussies, miserable hussies" under her breath while knitting. Her head would explode if she could see what's on now!
"I took my kids out of the room" err why would you let your kids watch ANY of married with children? Some of the comments he makes, and the scenes, are far worse than a woman in lingerie.
i was about 8 years old when married with children started, and it was absolutely fine, one of the few shows i actually liked. i didn't notice any of the sexism or anything else people tell me it was full of - which it isn't - i noticed the art of witty retort. cheers didn't turn me in to an alcoholic. it's just tv
I remember watching it as a little kid. I thought it was funny n his wife was mean
Exactly what did he say that wasn’t as bad as what she said about him?
That quote could be taken with many ways ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
James Foo I was just a kid when this was on too, and my parents ABSOLUTELY didn’t let us watch it! I didn’t get into Married with Children until I was about 20. But my parents forbade us from watching it when we were growing up. Simple.
Something that I've learned over the years: People who get way too upset about something - especially something as fictitious and “make-believe” as television - usually get that way because they see some truth in what they are getting upset over, wish to deny that truth, get even angrier (this time at themselves because they actually believe the “spoof”), and overreact to the situation.
Case in point: The Simpsons' Brazil episode. As was pointed out, it later proved to be based in fact; things really WERE the way that the episode depicted them. Because of this truth that the Brazilian president would rather deny than actually do something about, he lashed out at FOX. It should have been a wake-up call for him; he chose instead to deny the truth right before his eyes, and blame someone else for it.
Classic.
I stopped watching TV altogether about 3 years ago. I am starting to get the same feeling about the internet. I am sure glad time passes faster when you get older. I am sick of this place.
Just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right
Puerto Rico is not a country, it's a territory of the USA. However that Seinfeld episode was a little too far. People get their titties in a bunch when they see the US flag burnt. Well guess what? so do other people when they see their flag being burnt also. Don't burn or desecrate any flag. It represents people's heritage and culture.
Not to mention Kramer's comment afterward, "This happens all the time in Puerto Rico."
A10PANG I don't see a flag that way imo I think ppl who get that offended over flags need a reality check
A10PANG I've never seen it and really want to see it now
brawl14 Because you never served under one!
I mean to most people I know at least burning America's flag is basically what the flag stands for. It's ok to burn the flag here, it represents your freedom to express our beliefs about the country.

Hell, fox had Family guy off the air for, what, 2 years at one point? All because Seth produced a couple jokes at fox's expense.... after the show came back on air, the jokes became more and worse.
Hell, it took Reynolds 11 years to convince fox that making a Rated - R deadpool would be the best thing for, well, everyone. xD
Yooo meechelleee, I accidentally clicked on your profile, saw the suggary things playlist, clicked it and it was an adventure time/adventure time artist playlist, thank you!
Family Guy was cancelled because it bombed ratings-wise. They brought it back after it started airing on Adult Swim and became a DVD hit. Nothing to do with it's jokes. FOX has a pretty long history of shit-canning shows after a season or two.
Tenge difference is Rick and morty is funny
Re: Seinfeld Puerto Rico parade episode being "an insult to the country of Puerto Rico" --- Puerto Rico is not a country.
That was the only offensive one.
Did you know there actually is a Peurto Rican super-heroine?The twist is - she doesn't have any power.
Right? A little common sense would go a long way these days.
I agree with the criticism, but not why you think.
I watched the episode, and I think it would have been funnier if it had had the four of them in the car during the traffic jam for the entire episode, rather than have them get out and walk around.
It would have been like the "Chinese Restaurant" episode or "The Parking Lot" episode, where the entire ep has the four characters in one place, and the humor relies on their dialogue. IMO it would have made for a funnier episode.
That was one of Seinfeld's last episodes, and from Season 9 which was terrible in general, IMHO.
The Brazil episode of Simpsons was actually shown often enough over here in Ireland on the UK channel, Sky One. It's one of my favourite episodes.
People need to take a seat, settle down, and take a nice tall glass of Man the Fuck Up.
married with children was the best show on TV when I was growing up, for me anyways :p
yea me and my late father always enjoyed MWC
Kyle Godin why did you watch that as a child?
I watched it once and that was it, hence forth the new show title I gave it, "Married With Idiots"
The Wily Wimpod Because his parents weren't a couple of whiny bitches.
Scott W. Fields what are you talking about
Turn your damn TV off if you don't like the show. Also, don't let your kids watch a show that's not meant for little kids if you don't want them to see something.
In this day and age if you're not pissing people off, you're doing it wrong...
most of the people have a problem because parents don't monitor their children while they watch tv. that is the problem. parents aren't parents anymore, they want to be their best friends.
lmao, you're so dumb and uneducated.
really, I'll tell that to my TWO masters degrees and 16 years of teaching in the nyc school system. I am sure you know so much about children and parenting.
Pathetic to complain about 2brokegirls for that scene...if you wanna complain, you could say that it's a comedy show that is absolutely boring and UNFUNNY, that would be a good reason to complain...
omy785 there were far worse things those women did in that show, I'm surprised someone thought the Barbie doll scene was the worst out of everything they did on there.
I saw a lot of these scenes as a kid, and it took this video as an adult to get several "oh yeah I forgot about that" moments, because I really didn't know what was happening.
"Karen tries to ruin TV"
Now here's a crazy concept. Rather than become triggered and call for the banning/cancellation of a show you enjoy, why not simply.......don't watch whatever content it is that offends you so greatly?
No!
Now enough of this crazy, seditious talk!
I think the 6 o'clock news takes things too far. They're always showing reality and shit. Talk about offensive.
Nothing the news says is the truth, left wing echo chamber.
jon skinner
Russian bot alert.
if that was a joke then lol, if you are serious there is no helping you.
Try watching BBC News on cable one day. Regular TV News is so so so watered down.
@Bebe Looey
I think he was joking.
That X files episode still gives me the creeps.
You mean ''Americans got offended'' In the UK, this is just normal.
Maybe you don't remember Mary Whitehouse?
I'm not gonna sit here and pretend like I don't want to watch that sitcome with Hitler as the protagonist.
Of course. You and the rest of the assholes here want to be good little Nazis. When is the Sit Com about Stalin and Mao coming out?
LOL. Married With Children" is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE SHOWS EVER !!!! 😂
Of course it is😒😒
Married with children is still the best show ever
ofcourse it is😒😒
Then, you really need to GET A LIFE!
Of course it is 😒😒
Surprised Ellen Degeneres' coming out as homosexual on national television didn't make the list. She lost her show and career was put on hold for more than 3 years afterwards.
The Australian accent makes it sound even dirtier
Geeez just throw away your tv then , if such small things offend you .🙄😂 This is ridiculous.
That X-Files episode is still the creepiest to date.
reyanime I saw an episode from the revival called "I want to be beautiful", and that grossed me out, and I'd seen Hacksaw Ridge and Alien: Covenant before that. IDK if it's more or less disgusting than that episode.
reyanime what one?
My favourite episode.
reyanime it's my favorite episode, but there are times I need to skip scenes like when the kids are playing baseball and they find a baby's hand sticking out of a pool of blood
How is it that "Heil, Honey" is so offensive but "Hogan's Heroes" is comedy gold and still stands up? People need to calm down and realize that comedy is a good thing. We need more not less.
2:24 As a Puerto Rican, I am offended that anyone was offended by the Seinfeld "Puerto Rican day parade" episode. It was funny, and nothing was insulting.
I’m Jewish myself and I was not offended by when you wish upon a Weinstein whatsoever, I really just thought it was funny
SavageBadge 165 yeah it was actually much nicer to the Hebrew faith then the show usually is with other faiths.
Yes. It was funny
Unlike the episodes where they try to be offensive because they can't think of any jokes.
EXACTLY!!! It really was a great episode. Funny and NOT anti anybody!!@@beauwalker9820
change the channel, NOT THE SHOW.
All this is is another example of how extremely sensitive everyone is today, people are always looking for something to cry about. People and there delicate little feelings smh
Al Bundy was the best!
I am offended at people who try to control what I watch and read. If you don't like something
on tv - don't watch it! I follow that advise myself - I don't watch sports, but I would never
try to get it banned from tv.
9
You don't watch sports? What the hell is the matter with you? JK. You make a good point.
Personally, I find the current political climate to be the most offensive thing in history.
Tara Lee I know. These vicious liberals and their violence and hatred have got to go! TRUMP2020
Really? The most offensive thing in HISTORY is the political climate? So, the Halocaust, the millions of people killed by Stalin, Pol Pot's genocide in Cambidia..... Yet, people running their mouths about their opinions is THE MOST OFFENSIVE THING IN HISTORY.... You seriously need to pick up a history book.
boy do i have some history for you
blackrosetiger13 the systematic censorship and putting down of free thought and opinion is very much akin to what occurred _during_ the Holocaust and Communist regimes. It is extremely offensive even if our modern culture doesn’t share the same level of violence as seen during those terrible events.
@@susanq6030 bite me keyboard warrior
the episode about brazil is accurate. This are just like this here, ppl are proud of not working, just drinking and walking half naked on the streets, this is brazil
TV in the UK and Australia have always been far less censored than the US. So many UK shows have to be softened up drastically so they can be shown in the US. Then they end up tanking because they lose their edge.
