due to concerns about the use of blackface by stars, David Walliams and Matt Lucas. The comedy sketch show, which first aired in 2003 on BBC Three, has been removed along with the pair’s follow-up, Come Fly With Me.
This is a local program for local people, there’s nothing for you here!
Also still on Netflix...
Just take everything down. Let’s be honest, this is what life has now become.
Go back a couple or three generations in anybody's family and you will find racists, homophobes, misogynists... So let's burn all our photo albums and ban ourselves. Sorted.
Oh and anyone that does an accent other than their own and anyone who plays a person with a disability and anyone who acts playing a part as something they aren't, and any comedy sketches about anything at all...
No it hasn't, at the very least this isn't confirmed by Netflux, so a question people should be asking is if the main stream media can so easily & lazily publish fake news like this how much of their other content is the same?
Vandals are erasing cultural history. But I have the tapes and will soon be launching Samizdat™ from an undisclosed location.
Always sunny in Philadelphia did it too but NetflixUK won’t pull that as it’s so popular
Can you imagine if we all took offence to the film 'white chicks', oh wait we're not deluded attention seekers.

It will be you next Guardian for your history with slavery. How I will laugh.
BoycottNetflix
I live in Manchester, UK. It was built on a Roman Fort (Mamucium). The Romans used slaves for everything. I'm waiting for them to pull the city down because of this.
I guess Guardian must be extatic.
Bobo_lolz Should we pull the Guardian for your support of the slave trade
Puuulllleeeeezzz Netflix, is this sincerely about change for you or more of an opportunity? Coz I’m lookin’ at your officers and directors and frankly...
Too right they should. Racist nonsense. And I think it's time we seriously thought about banning TV shows that have 'Black' in the title: Black Mirror, etc
And so fascism begins
Hi, could you please support this petition that seeks to embed equality in uk teaching and decolonise uk curriculum. Sign and share would be appreciated.
I'm sorry but implying that painting yourself black to portray a character is racist is actually what is racist. Is Martin Lawrence racist?
How do we pull the racist politicians running our country? Surely that’s an actual problem!
Didn’t John Edward Taylor found the Guardian when it started? His income? Cotton trader....Just saying.....
Is David Dickinson cancelled yet?
Context is dead
I think the series overall will return just with offending episodes taken out, or given disclosure warnings. With The Mighty Boosh it's only 4 episodes out of 3 series so it's not a significant loss if they're taken out.
Even by the titles only I wasn’t interested to watch 😂😂
godblesstoto This is why I use torrents.
For Fuck sake!
Netflix is American, therefore has no culture or intelligence.
I won the Mums!!!!
What about the film “White Chicks”?
Full blown censorship tidal wave.
I think we should just ban everything, no art, no books, no movies, we must’ve appease the maniacal left.
Alright, that's it. I'm calling Nanageddon on this joint.
The Boosh? Really? That's one of the most absurd comedy ever made, I get the Old Gregg and the 'finding the new sound' thing, but it's absurdity at its highest level. How come you get offended by that? Take it off your catalog for the tons of drugs involved, I'd get it though 😄
FreedomCitizen1 Ah shit. No more Michael Jackson concert footage -
At first it was 'just Alex Jones', now its mainstream comedy. Imagine what comes tomorrow.
Ridiculous, spirit if jazz is a skeleton. Being told what I can and can't watch now is starting to be annoying. Love the Boosh and LoG.
League of Gentlemen didn't even do black face though
Wow
netflix NetflixUK what backlash? From who?
Someone needs to go after Boris for his comments never mind the league of gentlemen
If anyone wants a laugh watch Bo Selecta The Craig David story..it's hilarious..( Christians maybe offended)
rebecca_hulston hope you’re okay🤣
These shows defined my late teens, I guess I'm a racist now?
jtLOL Defund Netflix
What about HarryEnfieldAndChums?
We need a nice anti-censorship crimp
If you disagree with far left lunacy like this, then consider cancelling your subscriptions, and sailing a little further out to sea to find your entertainment instead.
Bad time to realise I've only got TLOG on VHS 😬😪
This is so sad, some great comedy here. But if people of colour have found this offensive and complaints have been made, then the shows should definitely go. White people don't get to say what's racist or not. I assume Little Britain is going too? Man that's racist shit 😂😂
Personally, I always thought one was overrated pap, while the other was genuinely great. Regardless, I feel they're being offered up, quite cynically, as sacrificial lambs. I certainly don't believe Netflix is now our Right On Choice for Entertainment, having ditched them.
And the book burning goes on.
Very niggardly of them to do this
Yeah, your history is mired in racism. Bye bye Some home truths for the leftists.
Mental
Fucking ludicrous decision.
FreedomCitizen1 And your founder was a slave trader so time to wind up
This is ridiculous! Papa Lazarous!?
It wont be long till mrs slocombe's pussy finally has that final visit to the vet. Its already been eviscerated in repeates. Dropping award winning shows isnt the answer its plain lazy. Everyone knows there's serious problems that need a long term plan this isnt it.
GuyVerhoftwat That's me sorted for next few months. Mighty boosh, little Britain and league of gentlemen
I only wanted to buy some pegs
For those who like comedy and don't want to be part of this Cultural Cleansing hysteria, here's a refuge
So The League of Gentlemen eh......Ya gotta feel partially responsible?........No?
These shows were as far removed from reality as you could get. There was no negativity directed towards anyone in the real world. (Except maybe, jobcentre advisers) Netflix are totally losing the plot
League of Gentlemen is genius. Papa Lazaru is a brilliant creation.
What about Robert Downey jr blackface. Ben stiller zoolander blackface. The original Ben hur. Blackface. netflix
This is the world you virtue signalling liberals wanted. Enjoy🤣
🤡🌍🤡🌍🤡🌍🤡🌍🤡🌍🤡🌍🤡🌍🤡🌍🤡🌍🤡🌍🤡🌍🤡🌍🤡🌍🤡🌍🤡🌍🤡🌍🤡🌍🤡🌍🤡🌍🤡🌍🤡🌍🤡🌍🤡🌍🤡🌍🤡🌍🤡🌍🤡🌍🤡🌍
NetflixUK You can pull every bloody programme off your cretinous platform. I’ve never been a subscriber and I NEVER will. Where will all of this end? You won’t have anything left soon.
This is remarkably pathetic when so many vote for racist murderers without a second thought.
YOU RE MY WIFE NOWWWW!! 😔
This has gone too far!!
The world has gone completely fucking mad. I want to get off this cluster fuck.
Oh for heaven's sake.
Their loss.
A pal of mine is a Rastafarian from Africa - the real deal and a great guy. We've been discussing some of the racially charged sayings (white as snow, unlucky black cat) and as I thought, most as being reverse engineered to be racist. We need to talk about what is racist and not.
Oh come on netflix this is part of our BritishIdentity what will it take to put it back on?
FreedomCitizen1 And Trudeau?
This is utter utter lunacy!!! When does it stop? What happened to ‘if you don’t like it don’t watch it’. Common sense has vanished clearly. Virtue signalling.
I guess I better hurry and join the mob & cancel everything. I'll start with Netflix. Next, Guardian due to its historical association with slavery (see its Founder). Next, they supported & sided with the Confederates during the Civil War & were very much anti Lincoln. Cherrio
Honestly considering the entire episode 'old Gregg'...
Have POC demanded they be pulled? Doubt it. we're in danger of losing the real message here, let's focus on what's most important right now and this ain't it
The Simpsons should be banned too. Smithers did blackface once too.
Does this work both ways or is Eddie Murphy doing Whiteface ok? 🙄
Mrs browns boys must be racist can we cancel that
Oh ffs
When will the Guardian be pulled over your confederacy links?
Create some decent alternatives for people to enjoy banning/destroying is easy creating is not
FFS!!!
All need to go for racial equality. White people need to renounce their privileges and TakeTheKnee BlackLivesMatter All 👏🏿 white 👏🏿 media 👏🏿 is 👏🏿 racist 👏🏿
I missed the window on catching up with The League or Gentlemen then!
There will be nowt left soon....
I’m guessing we won’t be seeing Carry on up the jungle or Carry on up the khyber next bank holiday on itv
Oh God, not The Mighty Boosh!!!
They must also pull anyone wearing European people’s weaves. Bleaching skin. Non English people speaking English.
GuyVerhoftwat Hello Dave
Have they pulled whitechicks
GuyVerhoftwat
Oh ffs!!
GuyVerhoftwat Hilarious. More woke crap gone.
I am sorry but this is ridiculous.
godblesstoto That one episode in Operation Good Guys days are numbered. Was an underrated series but got on DVD.
OK ScumMedia.
Race bait alert!
GuyVerhoftwat Your my wife now.
GuyVerhoftwat why? FFS Have left wingers not got a sense of humour?
GuyVerhoftwat The left is eating itself.
for all of those who believe systemic racism is the major real problem in our societies, please watch this and then see if your opinions change ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
Will these be going as well?
GuyVerhoftwat Just cancelled my Netflix sub.
godblesstoto Called it 🙄
Sozzinski Is he the one who said, 'you're my wife now'?
godblesstoto I could see them binning them over the fact they are shite.
concretemilk Hello Dave
Bye bye to lot's of popular shows then
When’s this being deleted then?! 🤷🏻♂️
godblesstoto Hi Netflix. Fairly sure I saw blackface in Miranda, and Citizen Khan. Oh, and Mrs Brown's Boys and everything with Michael McIntyre or Nish Kumar in it. Sort it out, cheers!
Ridiculous, it will be books next. Remember who did this?
Netflix now cancelled. Seen everything I want to see. Now saving £8.99 a month. Actually, just subscribed to Disney +. Still saving £3 a month
Ckh_Modest ...
The utter nonsense about the killing of a serial criminal in another country goes on! If George Floyd had been white, he wouldn't even have made the news!!
Pathetic virtue signalling
Right that's it I'm cancelling NetflixUK
YO tebcrilly g0thjuice_
godblesstoto Described by as 'it was also objectively brilliant.'
godblesstoto Thank god I won't be forced to turn on the TV, select Netflix, search for these programmes, select them, and press play anymore 🤔
Wait for it.... Monty Python next ?
Chris Lilley is so fucked.
godblesstoto They're going to continue this until the only comedy left is Nish'look how woke I am'Kumar. I'm off to buy some bread rolls just in case.
Disgraceful. This is turning the fight against real racism into a joke.
D1bm11 as you predicted 🙈
Are they pulling Trudeau?😂🤣
FFS when will this end. I want the film Coming To America pulled because Eddie Murphy whitefaces and I want Sir Lenny Henry to loose his knighthood and banned for the tv because he’s whitefaced also I find it deeply offensive.
Hello Dave!!😂😂😂😂
LoG also had a trans character but they didn’t remove it because of that. 🤔 perhaps some lives do matter more than others.
Is it any coincidence that all these shows were never even funny in the first place?
April1990
Pull the lot , we should only channel 4 news , however John Snow is a white , middle aged and upper class man , so they need to get rid of him !
Papa Lazarous wasn't a black character, he wasn't doing 'black face'. I know it was meant to be a twisted clown make-up but if they'd done the main part in purple or something I think he'd still look as sinister and people wouldn't get confused.
godblesstoto The Cultural Revolution Continues Motherlicker! When are the perpetrators going to be marched through the streets with placards proclaiming their guilt?
Ludicrous. Genuinely bewildering hysteria.
Is Peep Show next?
When are you guys shutting down?
Lol, how weak do you have to be to be offended by old TV shows? If you don't like it, don't watch it, normal people can manage this.
godblesstoto I bet they see nothing wrong with that
godblesstoto Here's what the guardian said of Boosh last year...
Who's asked for them to be removed? I'm POC and was never offended by either show. Don't know anybody who thought it was offensive to people of colour
Hello Dave
godblesstoto Is Dave there?
Can you buy these on dvd?
godblesstoto
haha oh dear these are Guardian lefty type staples of comedy weren't they they need to repent publicly on hands and knees and so does anyone who ever laughed at them
godblesstoto
I hate those tv shows. But they shouldn’t have been banned. Where does this end?
If you think black people need special treatment to make them equal to white people, you’re racist
godblesstoto Wankers
When do this idiocies end?
godblesstoto Oh dear!
godblesstoto Seriously everyone - what classic novels do you think are going to get pulled first?
And Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon still have their jobs? GET LOST.
Where they have burned books, they will end in burning human beings.
netflix bows to the mob. Never surrender to the mob or how the left hijacked George Floyd's funeral and got away with it. BlueLivesMatter
Should I burn my Boosh DVD?
Company that made the highly racist Dear White People.
Bah
Hasn't your history got something to do with slavery money
Cave in to the mob again
Not good. People have to make choices. They can unsubscribe or not choose the programming. This is a slippery slope.
Cucks
Do they not realise by pulling shows that people are going to be more determined to watch them, are they going to pull all these shows of all media platforms.
Hey I'm also Polish (and black) funnily - I get more racism for being Polish!!!
Peak stupid
It’s just the 21st century equivalent to book burning. What’s to worry about?
BAN AMERICA! Sorry, sure it was white folk that founded it....any excuse is a good excuse to fob that place off
What about this guy? Is he safe in all this madness
Guardian built on slave money. Take down the Guardian.
I think we're going way off course 😭 We should be addressing gov policies, inequality, injustice, poverty, education! Who's really called for these shows to be pulled? If black ppl are deeply offended, fair enough, if it's white ppl offended on behalf of, maybe have a rethink?
I think COVID is effecting the mental state of people, the world is going nuts.
Papa lazarou?
It had to happen. Pathetic
This is getting ridiculous, are we going to pull 'Coming To America', where Eddie Murphy did whiteface or 'White Chics'? No. Its COMEDY whereby comedians take a mockery of everything. worldsgoingmad BlackLivesMattters WhiteLivesMatters AllLivesMatter
What’s wrong with The Mighty Boosh?!
Appeasing the mob will only make them stronger.
An insatiable monster has been created & all these companies are sh*tting themselves in case they are called out for racism. It's truly pathetic to watch
Considering what else League of Gentlemen features and they pick THIS to ban it for?
Oh not the Mighty Boosh please no themightyboosh noelfielding11
Maybe we should ban JustinTrudeau for this as well?
Goodbye Dave
wtf is netflix retarded?
What !?
I know people are gonna whine over this but, like, how many of y'alls' shows used blackface and you just let that happen...
Ali G better watch his arse then!
Kneel at the alter of wokeness
Spineless
The more you give to the outrage mob, the more they want. Statues is where it started and now TV, Movies and celebs.
I kind of (?) get being mad at the BBC for doing this, but Netflix is a private company, it can do what it wants.
Good lord.
The Guardian was founded in 1821 by John Edward Taylor who traded in cotton produced by the slaves of the American south. Ban the Guardian for historic slave links!
