Little Britain wasn't actually cancelled at the time, it was very popular and had three seasons and various specials, but it's normal for British comedy series to run for a much shorter time period than American ones. In the UK, they tend to end TV series while they are still on a high, rather than just keep making them until most people stop watching. Little Britain's "cancellation" came many years later when it was removed from streaming services, but it's now been reinstated but with certain sketches removed or re-edited.
The was removed from all streaming platforms globally due to the mean spirited racism in the show. Even the creators admitted the show had racism and apologised for their ignorance at the time. And the terrible thing the show was really popular in Britain with white people due to racist jokes to minorities. They have uploaded sketches to UA-cam but removed all the racism sketches.
@@Delboy0it was popular with white people, in Britain? No way, I don't believe you.... 😂 And ofc they apologised for being racist, that's the current culture or you get cancelled. People liked it because it was funny stereo types of british and non British, funny how you can mock any class in Britain but not if they have slightly brown skin 😂 pathetic. No problem picking on low class white though, everyone loves that.
@@Delboy0”Mean spirited racism” ,”really popular with white people due to racist jokes” Really? Tell us what racist jokes us white folk enjoyed so much then? There was nothing mean spirited towards so called minorities. White people were portrayed pretty gross.
I watched it back then even got the DVD my daughter loved it too!! Should be back on TV again as it was no censorship!! Can’t believe people get offended as it takes the p out of everyone!!
The thing is with this show, it was actually more inclusive than whatever we have in society now. It poked fun at everyone, no one protected and it worked. Oviously there probably were some people offended, but for the most part the gay and straight communites enjoyed it. I had a mate who I thought would not find it funny, he had a rough life coming to terms with his sexuality. So I was concerned, but he was roaring with laughter. People were not as offended then, you could have conversations.
The league of gentlemen was a very dark series that just got darker as it went along. Has recieved some fair share of controversy but i wouldn't say it's as on the nose with the racism as little britain. It did really pioneer the idea of horror comedy though
British comedians go hard. This was a good introduction teaser to this funny program. They poke fun up to and over the line of comfort, which makes it even funnier, as they are not doing it maliciously, but just the human ridiculousness of situations and cultures. That fat meeting leader is so racist that it is absurd. There is more to that whole skit - its really funny.
I don’t think it was ever banned? They moved in to other projects mainly ( there has been talk about a new season or special actually ), ofcourse some sketches have aged better than others but it’s still hilarious
Check out some of our comedians. Micky Flannagan's Delhi Belly is a good one to start you off. He is from the East end of London so is what we call a cockney over here.
They ran from 2003 to 2006. In 2020 they were removed from most streaming platforms because they performed in blackface. It was one of my favourite shows despite that faux pas. Comedy is supposed to push boundaries, and they sometimes took a 747 over the line...lol.
The best thing about the show was it ignored the _line_ The fact that it was banned/altered for blackface but not the other _offensive_ moments shows the sheer hypocrisy of political correctness/wokeism. Some bits are dated and some of the sketches weren't funny, but I never thought "this show is offensive it should be changed or banned". We're living in a decline in intelligence and values.
@@Greenstumps Black face has always been offensive that's why Matt Lucas chose to use it as a comedic device. I agree that tolerance for such things has declined over the last decade but don't pretend blackface was a bit of harmless fun before we adopted cancel culture.
@@samhilton4173first stop using the word woke in the wrong context and meaning. It was a phrase was created by black people to mean know your black history and be aware of subtle racism, and extreme white right wing have tried to co-opt to the word woke to mean anything white people don’t like to undermine it’s true meaning. The show was erased not just because of blackface but due to the many mean spirited racist jokes mocking minorities. They makers thought they could get away with racist sketches, by claiming it was ironic racism. The creators and writers apologised for the racism in the show and admitted they were ignorant not realise how racist minorities many of their jokes were. The sad thing is the show was popular with British white people due to the racism in the show.
@@samhilton4173it is not really for white people to tell people of colour what they should be offended by, given most white people are very ignorant on racial issues. Even the makers of the show admitted the show was racist and apologised for their ignorance as white people for thinking these racist jokes were acceptable.
nobody found it racist in the 00s the 90s kids grew up watching it including me everyone quoted it at school nobody was offended but it was pre social media and smart phones nobody got triggered and had an opinion back then
Short lived? Wasn't it like 3 seasons and a spin-off where they do "Little Brittain in America?". Btw., this was really popular in Norway back then too!
Little Britain wasn't cancelled most shows over here have a lot less seasons and episodes cos we know to end things while they're still good where as in America shows get dragged out till they are long passed stale.
Guys just to warn you little Britain is the gateway drug to watching "league of gentlemen", it gets you used to insanity and the weirdness of dark british hunmour just enough to handle League of gentlemen, a comedy so dark and smart its on garth merenghi darkside level of creepy and funny. but be warned if you do watch league of gentlemen 2 out of 5 of you WILL lose their minds lol
''are you local '?'... and that local butcher shop ... are they a local family run business and those special hand delivered packages.. and who the fk's writing the script in the end..?
Was the show banned? I thought the creators went on to do other projects and then later decided their values were no longer aligned with some of the characters.
Netflix was getting ready to bring it back, but along with a few other shows it was cancelled with old episodes removed from players just after the George Floyd incident.
It’s all for harmless fun if you can’t laugh at your self your what’s the point I’m gay and some gay jokes are funny as long as they ain’t insidious just like how do u get 4 gays on 1 stool turn it up side down now that’s funny but at the same time it being nasty

@@Delboy0 To say it was popular because of the racist sketches is just wildly untrue....
Not band from TV, maybe in the US but in britain it was a national treasure of bristish comedy. One of many epic British comedies
Vicki Pollard is basically a character with a working class Bristol accent, which is in the South West of England.
No flipping way! I’ve been waiting for years for people to react to this legendary show! I’m about to binge watch all your reactions
Little Britain was never banned or cancelled, it just ended (though many years later some streaming services temporarily removed it).
When two accents collide 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂That was funny!
The two guys returned for Come Fly With Me a parody of airflight documentaries worth a watch
Tom Baker's narration was genius.
You reckon? Although it's a coup to have Tom narrate anything, I always thought the lines Walliams and Lucas wrote for him were absolute crap.
@@rnw2739 that was the point the narrative was meant to be utter crap
@@rnw2739 You thought a comedy show would of professional Shakespeare speeches
You are pretty daft for not getting the point. @@rnw2739

It’s on of a night on a channel called ‘that’s tv’
This is how funny and great it used to be. Not this dystopian world where everybody is scared to laugh.
The show gets even better , lots of other disgustingly good characters 😂😂

THEY TOURED THE SHOW GLOBALLY...THEY ARE HILARIOUS!!! SEE "FLY WITH ME" THEIR TAKE ON AIRLINES!!!❤❤❤👍👍👍👍🤓😉😆😃😅😂
This was a LOT of fun!
I haven't seen it since it aired.
Thanks for doing this...
Little Britain wasnt banned on Terrestrial TV it was the streaming services that did not allow it, however it has been available on BBC iPlayer.
Some of the wildest characters ever
THEY DO SUCH CRAZY FUNNY CHARACTERS😂😂😂
I honestly don't understand why anyone would find this offensive.
The league of gentlemen was a very dark series that just got darker as it went along. Has recieved some fair share of controversy but i wouldn't say it's as on the nose with the racism as little britain. It did really pioneer the idea of horror comedy though
You got to carry on reacting to these😂 best show ever
This was hilarious, please do more Little Britain!
LITTLE BRITAIN HAD THREE SEASONS I THINK!!HILARIOUS!!!!😆😅😄😃😂😆😅😄😃😂

Was the show banned? I thought the creators went on to do other projects and then later decided their values were no longer aligned with some of the characters.
Little Britain wasn't banned! What are you talking about? lol. People do pick up a load of nonsense from social media...
It was banned during the beginning of the pandemic
Netflix was getting ready to bring it back, but along with a few other shows it was cancelled with old episodes removed from players just after the George Floyd incident.
AGAIN, MEN IN DRAG IS ALWAYS FUNNY...BRITS GOOD AT IT👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍
People from Liverpool don't even understand people from Liverpool
I recommend the Catherine Tate show, and That Mitchell and Webb show if you like skits.
*'That Mitchell and Webb Look'
Sally Hawkins!!
They didn't ban it
It gets funnier, and more offensive.
Little Britain was never my cuppa tea.
Top banana..
What is the blonde lady saying 🥴
You should watch the first episode of The Upright Citizens Brigade. It's called The Bucket of Truth and it's absolutely wild.
Little Britian is still Popular sadly the WOKE have destryoied the BBC.. But we all know someone with the DVD
Glad to see that you are protecting your hearing by leaning so far forward because, man, Blondie, is so loud!
I can't understand the sensitivity over blacking-up in a comedy; these comedians play all sorts of characters.
she didnt understand ANY of it?? really???
Why do you keep showing your banner or whatever it is and not the video?
Trying to avoid copyright strikes presumably.
Removing half of the clip is a put off
It also prevents this video from being blocked unfortunately. Hope all is well 🤙🏽
Have you reacted to Catherine Tate?
Couldn’t see what you were reacting to half the time. 🙁
faf
VICKY POLLARD IS THE BEST!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍
Please react to still game series best
It wasn’t band
Y

Its really annoying
That was not one of the best. But ok lots more funnier.

One minute in and I'm outta here.....
If you have to censor you own content it is not worth watching - I am out.
Wy I man divn't worry aboot it an yer'll be areet.
