my favourite little brain character is pie_ aka lewis

Meh, it's really no wonder it got pulled from Netflix. Don't get me wrong, I loved Little Britain when I was younger and still find most of it funny to this day, but certain parts of it do make people extremely uncomfortable and with good reason, most notably blackface. Humour, is humour at the end of the day, but you don't have to do blackface to be funny, especially as it carries a lot of history.

With that said though Vicky Pollard lmao

However, even though blackface isn't funny, i don't think they meant to be offensive with the use of blackface since they only have 2 actors for the entire series which i think is impressive. But yeah im pretty sure everyone knows someone in real life who reminds them of Vicky Pollard O_O

Fat difference between blackface and playing a black character imo. Little Britain targeted everyone, also mocked trans, fat people, stupid people, disabled people, Indian people, gay people and took the piss out of the racist south America. If you can't play a black character without being canceled then shit ant and dec canceled, jimmy late night show fella also canceled and so so many people gone. Little Britain is a comedy and if people wanna be a bitch they can fuck off. Offence can never be given only taken.

Marjory or Emily would be my favorite characters

I'd most definitely consider them painting themselves black and playing into exaggerated stereotypes of black people to be blackface.

EviIstewie wrote: Yeah very true, i think the reason alot of people like Little Britain is because it goes where other shows are now scared to. Also todays society is much different to society in 2003 so judging it on our values and other shit like that isn't the best option. I think if people don't like it then just don't watch it. I don't think comedy should be censored to be honest because it's exactly that. Comedy. It's not to be taken seriously so i don't see why people do.
Also very good choice

Any by far.

I mean just this character alone is enough of a massive stereotypical exaggeration, but like you said I do agree Little Britain targeted everyone not just black people, and I do find it quite silly to pull it now as it's so old but I can definitely see why they did because of the pressure they would have been getting.
