Little Britain apology

103 replies

David Walliams and Matt Lucas have apologised for playing characters of different races in Little Britain. Walliams also apologised in 2017 for playing a transvestite.

But they haven't apologised for mocking disabled people, women, the working class... Is that all ok then?

Am I being unreasonable to think this just doesn't make sense? I'm not sure where I draw the line on what is and isn't acceptable in comedy and I'm not saying the right approach is to censor everything. But why are some groups fair game and others aren't?

That they "mocked everyone" is no excuse - did they really mock/criticise rich white men?! Not much to my recollection!

This is so true!! Disgusting isn't it - and
Just disgusting how society has very few if any negative stereotypes and white men. Funny that.

Was there anybody LB didn't mock. Still some of the stuff was pretty offensive.

They should apologise for the lack of comedy in general. I only watched once and found it hard to break a smile, much less laugh.
