Monty Python star John Cleese has caused a stir once again by tweeting out an ‘apology’ for using ‘white English people’ as the butt of the joke in past sketches, a reaction to The Simpsons actor Hank Azaria apologising for voicing an Indian character.

Not wishing to be left behind by Hank Azaria, I would like to apologise on behalf on Monty Python for all the many sketches we did making fun of white English people

We're sorry for any distress we may have caused

Cleese has previously railed against cancel culture, hitting out at permanently offended woke people, insisting that they have no sense of humour and are contributing to the death of comedy.

While many lauded Cleese for his response, the woke mob immediately jumped on and accused him of white privilege:

2/3 If there was a person of color on screen, since I was a white person, I didn't pay any attention. It was just another character – dumb black guy? So what? There's a bunch of dumb white guys. But the problem is there was only ONE black guy.

Others started to search for things about Monty Python and Cleese’s other show Fawlty Towers to be offended at, which Cleese appeared to find hilarious.

The shows both used stereotypes to drive the comedy. The funny comes from the fact that the characters engaging in the stereotypes are the ones being laughed at, a nuance completely lost on the woke cancel mob.

Actually all jokes are unnecessary

But a few people get pleasure from them, although only if they have a sense of humour https://t.co/IEWrXic8oE

Azaria, who played the shopkeeper character Apu on the cartoon for decades now says wants to seek out “every single Indian person in” the “country and apologize.”

That guy who voiced Apu’s apology is the most pathetic drivel since the Mumford and Sons guy’s capitulation. Risible nonsense.

ALL Simpsons characters are stereotypes. That's how the show works.
As a German, I'd feel very silly were I to express outrage over Üter Zörker.
No Scotsman I know has ever found Groundskeeper Willie offensive.

Why do people keep listening to a small percentage of outraged marxist mobs on the internet 🤦‍♂️

No Indian was ever offended by Apu apart from that failed comedian Hari Kondabolu.
Most Indians loved Apu.
So take your concepts of cancel culture and cultural appropriation and stick it where the sun don't shine.

As far as my Muslim, Sikh and Hindu friends are concerned Hank has nothing to apologize for. They laughed at Apu and all the characters in The Simpsons because they like the show and aren't offended. Please actually ask the people who are meant to be offended if they are.
— Ruth Merry (@Rufus7004) April 13, 2021

The whole point of his character was to be a stereotype. I would understand if this came from an outcry by the Hindu community but this is a result of people going from topic to topic looking for stuff that doesn’t match our current norms, simply looking for stuff to cancel.

This Tells You Everything You Need To Know About The Grammy Awards

Seriously, what the f**k is this?

And the Grammy award goes to… Rachel Maddow.

These things are now little more than a virtue signalling pat on the back for whoever can act the most woke.

Did they even listen to what Maddow said in her ‘Russian conspiracy rant?

No, of course not, because it doesn’t even matter what the actual material constitutes anymore.

The live show is basically a forum for whichever deranged throwaway puppet pop star of the moment to thrust their crotch around or pretend to care about whatever “issue” is trending in order to shift more ~~records, CDs, MP3s~~ Youtube ads.

Seriously, what the fuck is this?

CARDI B & MEGAN THEE STALLION – WAP AT THE #GRAMMYs

THIS IS NOT A DRILL 🚨

Does anyone with a single brain cell find this entertaining or creative?

Can this even be called ‘live music’?

Compare it to this Eric Clapton performance from 1993, where he plays and sings ‘Tears in Heaven’, a deeply soulful song about the tragic death of his child that year:

You can’t compare these two things, they cannot be put in the same category.

To offset the distant screeching of ‘white patriarchy’ from Twitter, maybe compare the crotch thrusting to this 1994 performance from Whitney Houston, or this 1998 performance by Arethra Franklin.

Yeah, still not the same thing is it?

And while we have to watch true greats in grainy compressed YouTube destroyed VHS footage, Cardi B can thrust her genitals into your face in glorious 4K.

So who else (apart from Beyonce taking home her 48 millionth gong) won an ‘award’ this year?

Megan Thee Stallion.

Harry Styles.

Billie Eilish.

You know who never won a Grammy?

Jimmi Hendrix.

Bob Marley.

Queen.

Janis Joplin.

The Grateful Dead.

The Doors.

The Beach Boys.

Harry Styles has a Grammy award, while Brian Wilson and Jimmi Hendrix don’t.

We live in an upside down world where vacuous meaningless forgettable shit is ‘awarded’, relentlessly and literally thrust into our faces, while god given talent that enriches the human spirit is now ignored.

Ask yourself why that is.

Video: Bidens Appear On Jumbo Tele-Screen At Super Bowl, Demand Distancing, Masks, Vaccinations

‘Moment of silence’ request ignored

In a scene that wouldn’t look out of place in Orwell’s 1984, the Bidens made an appearance at this Sunday’s Super Bowl on a giant tele-screen demanding that Americans socially distance, wear masks and get vaccinated.

While those allowed to be in attendance wanted to watch some football and drink some beer, ~~Big Brother~~ Joe Biden’s mumbling voice of doom boomed out around the stadium prior to the Kansas City Chiefs v. Tampa Bay Buccaneers game.

“Let’s remember, we all can do our part to save lives,” Biden warned, adding “Wear masks. Stay socially distance. Get tested.”

The pair also called for a ‘moment of silence’, which the crowd did not seem to respect, with some even booing.
