Just watched the Christmas episode where called Phyllis “tranny Claus”

Ho ho ho! Why pay more to sit next to old Tranny Claus over there, when you can sit on my lap. Phyllis is only ... pretending to be a man, I'm the real thing. Sit down on my lap and there will be no doubt!

Watch the background characters during this scene. Ed Helms looks like he's gonna pass a kidney stone trying to hold in a laugh. By the time it's over, he's disappeared. Just couldn't take it.

“The writers who I’m still in touch with now, we always talk about how so much of that show we probably couldn’t make now,” Kaling added. “Tastes have changed, and honestly what offends people has changed so much now. I think that actually is one of the reasons the show is popular, because people feel like there’s something kind of fearless about it or taboo that it talks about on the show.”


So tastes have changed, but the show is still popular?

Jesus Christ these people are so out of touch.

They've already cancelled the Benihana Christmas episode. You'll never see it on Comedy Central again.

It's still on Peacock as of a few days ago. I love that episode

Making certain episodes only available for purchase is genius marketing.


And you probably think that microtransactions are just dandy.

Have another down vote.

Mindy is just reeeeing and begging for woke bonus points after her disastrous reboot of Velma failed bigly.


Don't culturally appropriate other people's shite.

Shows like sopranos and Deadwood probably couldn’t be made today either

Have they? Or has Hollywood just become a bunch of bitches who are afraid of offending a few social media bots?

Same. I bought it when the Beni Hana girl complained about racism on the show.
