Anyone remember The Muppet Show?
Remember the two grumpy old hecklers in the box?
Their names were Statler and Waldorf.
Their only role in the show was to heckle, criticize and mock the whole show yet they still came every week and no-one tried to shut them up.
They were actually a big feature in the show.
Back then comedy was still funny. It was at it's best when it turned it's focus on our leaders like in the very popular 'Spitting Image' but not without it's critics including the then American President -
The old Spitting Image -
This show was pretty full on at laughing at our 'leaders', poking fun at them and criticizing their decisions.
Life has changed since the 70's and 80's hasn't it.
The PC brigade has all but decimated the comedy scene through censorship. But wait!
Spitting Image is back! It's been rehashed. Not on the BEEB tho.....
I'm just wondering if the muppets would have been quite as funny without the grumpy old men heckling poor old Kermit who just wanted everyone to enjoy the show.
Let's take a look back and see how it was done back then. Maybe we could learn a thing or two.
If children can be entertained by hecklers why can't we?
Spitting Image was not however FOR CHILDREN and aired after the watershed BUT we all know the kids loved it too (back then that is) -
Is this all an analogy? About Blurt? Maybe.....
Will blurt be any better for shutting up it's loudest critics, who lets face it are pretty comical in their own warped way.
A sense of humour is a sign of intelligence and maturity.
Can't we all be grown-ups here?
Can't we have our bread and circus too?
good one! Comedy stretches our perceptions, beyond what we are told to believe. Comedy has been co-opted by political influences, and those comics who will not bow to tyrannical rulers are now banned and silenced. Milo Yiannopolis comes to mind here, his shows cancelled at liberal colleges years ago. He, like these two, poked fun at our unelected and elected rulers, especially the libtards. I was one of those myself back then, and luckily I recognized that he was talking about me. I had the good sense to want to know what the big fuss was all about, so I braved what I thought (had been told) was horrifying lies. Milo snapped me out of it.
It is edifying to listen to all sides of the big fusses.
However, if someone wants their page to be an echo chamber, I don't have a problem with that. Their loss. If the entire platform becomes an echo chamber, much as hive did for a while there, I'm outta here. Blurt is still where I go to get news, information and mind blowing funnies.
I do like reading the funnies too here, even when it's not about blurt. Funny posters are thin on the ground everywhere.
are you Statler or Waldorf? Which one are you?
I think I aspire to be more like George Carlin.
I think you'll find that's 'corpse appropriation' and carries a sentence of 349 apologies just for breathing - delivered in public- to some libtards
I think he should be waldorf coz that has an fro in it backwards
Aspiring is good and Carlin was excellent. Shame he's dead really.
I hear ya, i grew up laughing at shit like this. . .and never ever thought it was wrong.
Its art. . its parody. . .if you cant laugh then look within yourself what is it within you that feels hurt. . .and work on it.
But the can we all be grown-up bit???
Not sure. . .
I heared grown ups are boring af. . .
you been mixing with the wrong kinda grown-ups?
Yeah, read above . . . Lucylin claims to be a grown up and he is boring af.
I'm a grown up !
...oh, and definitely as boring as fuck...So your hypothesis is true !
..that's science !...
I know, im always right. . .and humble. . .
