I love the way he refers to comment sections as "the bottom half of the internet." That's genius.
😆😅🤣
I like when no more jockeys call it "below the line"
@@amelialikesfrogs5778 Job gloves or not job gloves?
The comment about the Trans-Siberian express is pure genius.
That's a very low bar for pure genius
Rew Rose no, it isnt
There are even Transformers trains, such as the G1, "Raiden" combiner.
What about the Pontiac Trans Am
@@TheIndulged1 That's a car, not a train.
Dave has a great way of making the punchline to jokes appear out of nowhere that I absolutely love. The bit where he plays the clip of the Fat Controller "getting his hat blown" was top job
I am so glad he mentioned the walling of up of Henry!
They full on cask of amantiado-ed him
The funny thing is, even in its modern redo, theres a movie where Henry has a flashback to this moment.
ok so we just gonna ignore that he got out the very next episode
That episode with Henry being blocked up genuinely traumatised me when I was 3. I had recurring nightmares about being bricked into tunnels for years. That music still sends shivers down my spine! Ahhh, childhood...
But I think he deserved his punishment. Don't you?
@@aspuzling 2..3..4 DANCEFEST!
same
You know it's a 2 parter right hes let out the very next episode
The unlucky tug did a Thomas debunked video if none of you believe me.
Also God bless you all.
@@graceannemorgan1035 I lived a million lifetimes and died a million deaths between the two.
It's actually kind of nostalgic hearing the audience get so excited over the fact that the found poem is nearing
Dave is hilarious. I can't fathom that this channel has only 20k subscribers.
Same, it is really shocking. I assume people just don't know about it as this is mostly pure gold.
The channel is growing, though. It was only created in April of this year, and when I found it, it had just over 3K subscribers.
that's why, what you first said
You say that like he's a CZcamsr. This is just where he uploads his old TV shows.
And now its 50k.. Lets share it and keep it growing !!
I think this is my favourite found poem
Yeah, this and the Big Ben one!!
That would be like having a favourite child. I love them all!
@@jacobsaxby9468 Bong
Whenever Dave starts a found poem i can't help singing,
She's so lovely. She's so lovely.
haha nice
I think of the opening titles of Barry Lyndon.
@@SunnyIntervalsORG And now I know something new. Thank you,
I love how the "Pc gone mad" type comments give way to people just being pedantic about trains.
Proving that all discriminative arguments can be destroyed with geeky pedantisism
This is so funny!! I'm a bit of an old fogey as I think the model trains have more charm, but the fact people are saying the new version is 'white genocide' is absolutely ridiculous!!!!!
0:51 "Maybe you have to concede that some of modern life is good-ish." I've had some non-self-inflicted health problems in recent years - bad. I'm living with an age with the drugs, facilities and trained personnel to help me - good. I can watch EPL and UCL matches or films, TV series and documentaries sitting on a comfy sofa at home. I'm not rich but I have a home with most mod cons, and a fully stocked fridge, freezer and larder. I hardly ever need to go the bank or post office any more. I can shop online and have most of what I buy delivered. I can work from and train at home. Life is not just good-ish, it's excellent.
I'm really glad I found this modern life is rubbish channel. I am happy it is not only me.
Chris Lambe it’s modem life is rubbish. Sorry to be that guy!
No, it's "Modern life is rubbish-ish"!
Beee beeee beeee beeee pssshhhhh booo Beee psssshhhhhh beeeeee pssshhhhh
@Jimmi K
Once I downloaded a 50MB file in 2 hours. I was very impressed
Turns out the flying scotsman was in Australia in 1988/89. I thought it was a BS comment but thought I'd check (Got there by ship so no it didn't fly there lol)
Seem to remember it did a tour of the USA s well.
I really love this show. I haven’t seen Dave Gorman on TV for a little while. God, I miss him being on our screens.
'I don't think there's anything you can't say, you can still say anything you like, there are just consequences'
Yeah, like jail.
There is very very little you can say in the western world that will get you put in jail.
It’s mostly neonazi hate speech or conspiracy
@@jmurray1110 So ya can't say anything you like then.
@@TeraByteify by conspiracy i mean litteral conspiracy not the moontruthers or that stuff
Still wouldn't put you in jail for speech. Conspiring to commit a crime isn't punished for what is said, it's punished for the criminal acts that are being planned.
Threatening violence also isn't punished for the words. It's the threat and the intimidation that is criminal.
Claiming you're being prosecuted for what you say is like claiming you are being arrested for driving when you've stolen a car.
Dave Gorman's videos have me in stitches!
This has got to be one of the 10 funniest clips on CZcams. :) Shamefully low views though, give it a few thumbs up to spread the love.
To be fair, that 2nd Tweet sums up 2020
The effort to set up that fat controller getting his hat blown joke is impressive 😂
This is gold.
Great video Very funny. When I first saw that Thomas episode with Henry in the tunnel, years ago, it never dawned on me how awful it was until I saw this clip from Dave's show. I suppose I should share that I remember the Flying Scotsman coming to Australia too. At Spencer Street station I think (now renamed Southern Cross station). It's one of those things you half remember and then wonder, now you're old, if you imagined it. Apparently it arrived in Sydney by boat and came to Melbourne via Albury.
I thought getting your hat blown was the same as getting the hairdryer treatment :(
Apparently getting your hat blown after getting the hairdryer treatment is the best kind of hat blowing.
I heard that, in the USA (which has a very large amount of obese people in its population, "The Fat Controller" was never used as a term, as it was "un-PC" to the large amounts of overweight people in the USA:
- "The American version of the television series always refers to him as Sir Topham Hatt, and never as The Fat Controller."
(Source: - Wikepedia - "The Fat Controller" - en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fat_Controller )
Can confirm, very large amount of fat people in the USA. It is continually odd how some PC terms go. Offensive to say "Colored People" as opposed to "People of Color". Like calling a 4H group "Children of the Corn" would really emphasize their humanity. And then there's calling very fat people "morbidly obese". They're blubber whales, not the next Mr. Creosote Blows. Nothing morbid about it. You know, the correct term for a crippled midget is "a differently-abled dwarf"? What's his magical ability, having a harder life than the average fellow?
And compared to these, PC terminology is lagging behind in other departments. We used to call people with pale skin tone and European ancestry "Caucasian" after the Caucasus Mountains. As if one day we looked at fire-haired Patty from Dublin and said "Looks a bit like a Turk, doesn't he?". Now we call them "White People". Oh, and not saying the "People" first in "Colored People" was such a problem?
More than that, what about the albinos, who are actually white? Like, "I'm sorry, you don't have skin tone now. Next best thing is (ruffling through the bin) er, 'Person with Albanism' ". It's same as going to a restaurant and getting your heart a flutter over the waiter pointing out the "head chef". I don't care what his first name is, he's the head chef, not "Mack with a Knife"!
Be aware that Henry was let out of the tunnel the next episode
You've chosen two classic episodes 😅
How did the Flying Scotsman get to Australia? Perhaps the clue is in the name? 🤔
It stowed away on a ship, because no Scotsman would pay for the fare?
I haven't seen a flying train since Back to the Future 3
7:29 autogenerated CC subtitles are missing a word from that sentence for some reason. What's a "fat roller"?
The Fat Controller is a character from Thomas the Tank Engine, I think that's what's missing
Americans are overly sensitive about use of the word 'cunt' so it was likely filtered ;)
2:55 You know, I think I do remember talk of blowing one's hat, even if I'd never come across that exact phrase he said. A strange idiom all the same. And thanks for uploading a video which has both that 70s perfume ad and the Thomas bit -- only now do I understand how come the Fat Controller getting his hat blown off got such a laugh.
I've just noticed that this is one time he's not wearing a plaid shirt.
I'm pretty sure it was deliberate, he made a comment early on about how already people will be tweeting him about it. I can't remember the full context though.
Gorman is a genius
Dave, the books were written in the 1920's/3/1930's, I think relative speed, a little read informs me that 60/70 Mph was fast through 1920's IE:- Going like the clappers
The poem at the end might be one of the greatest things I've ever seen on CZcams
I remember someone saying "it's madness gone politically correct" and I can't remember who and it drives me mad
Now this is pure genius
twitter.com/stephenfry/status/1106479567
Ever heard of google by any chance?
The first time I heard it, Marcus Brigstocke, playing a zoo owner, said
"Some people say that you shouldn't let the mentally ill into the lion enclosure, but that's just madness gone politically correct."
I think the show might have been The Museum of Everything.
I think the first time I heard that one, it was Armando Ianucci. But it's been circulating in various forms for at least 15 years now.
With technology today you can get access to a world of vitriol.
"Get your hat blown". That's a new one on me 😂
damn that edward impression was good (i wouldnt be surprised if he was the actual voice actor)
😂😂😂😂😂😂 brilliant
Political correctness going all PC on us 😂😂😂
"Good to be who you are", you can tell what facet of life won't be happy with that 😂
I laughed so hard at the trans-siberian express
I’m sorry but the fact they bricked up one of the trains in a tunnel to be left to rot is exactly why the original series is better. That is so insane and I love it.
Perhaps he was looking for someone to paint the lounge...
Stop having a boring tuna, stop having a boring life.
“Modern life is s@@@ because I can’t say what I want anymore.” Now THAT’S a snowflake
It shows my age when until about 8 minutes in, I assumed the Ringo Starr version of Thomas the Tank Engine _was_ the new version.
He's not even called "the fat controller" anymore. Says it all really. Sorry Dave.
I would love to be one of the violinists playing melancholy music to this madness
My worry that Dave is putting up these videos to harvest comments for some future prank is seeming ever-more founded.
He's found a way to auto-generate content 😱
Looking at the rest of the comments here, I think you may well be right
Dressed as a Clown
Sorry Mr Gorman, but steam locomotives are always referred to as she by their crews, even those named Winston Churchill and Oliver Cromwell.
However, there was one locomotive which definitely had a PC incorrect name. Cock o' the North.
Cock in that respect would be referring to a male chicken. Though I believe the vulgar definition shares etymological roots.
I just wanna say, I'm nearly 24 and when I was little I had ALL of original episodes on the VHS tapes and also in a MASSIVE book with all of the stories written and I genuinely remember crying at this episode where Henry got bricked in. So maybe it scarred me slightly as a child especially with Ringo's ending bit, little bit harsh maybe on the Rev's part 😂.
At the same time though I'd much rather my son watch the original episodes than the new pile of shit animations that are muuuuucccchhh worse than the ones featured in this clip
I hope you know that the henry being bricked is a two parter because he's let out the next episode.
And i hope you have a good day my friend God bless.
"When I was a child Trains didn't have foreign Accents"
Wrong noise mate.
Personally, I don't entirely agree with everything said about the classic model version of Thomas being bad since it's the version I grew up with, however this is still a good watch that made me laugh.
What about the Trans-Siberian Express 😅 glad it wasn't just me!!
German Pug jokes can get you a criminal record - unlike in Nazi germany where they thought better of prosecuting.
That's what happen when you mock Jews. You wouldn't get a criminal record if you dress your Pug in klan's outfit.
@@Renegade2786 OP was referring to Mark Meechan's video. In it, he did not mock the jews. Millions of people saw it and no one complained to the police.
I'd ask you to see the video yourself before commenting on it. Simply search for *azi pug.
Different tweet @0:50?
Am I the only one who finds the face on the front of a locomotive creepy?
What episode is this from
Series 5, Episode 8 - My Childhood Is Ruined
The video rocks as always but i have a complain (and its not for Dave,its for youtube)
Why these videos get so many adverts in them?every 5 minutes ,and a repeat of the same "invest in gold"(or whatever)ball breaker.
Tell them to piss off!please....:)
well it's Dave or Dave's capitalist Masters that decide on the amount of ads.
But you are getting the content for free. I would say you should be happy you are seeing it at all.
I wouldn't care about new episodes with Indian trains, but I do agree that, over time, there's been a strange trend in simply being insulted.
I;m a 29 year old female and I see a lot of positive change in the world. A lot of it.
But when I post something online, I notice that some people are literally sitting there..just waiting for someone to mess up, so they can cuss them out.
Mainly -Americans and- frustrated people, that will find literally anything wrong with anything. One girl put silver paint on her face for a cosplay.
People felt it was too close to darkgrey, that was too close to black, therefore silver was blackface and she was harassed until she removed her account.
Thát kind of stuff. Toxic people.
Or how about the recent example of a white man being on a Zoom call with his black friends child sitting on his lap, extremely racist apparently (in the eyes of a lunatic liberal). Positive change for one person is a weapon of choice for another. Fine lines.
RIP Chuggy

It seems widely accepted that trains are masculine.
Der Zug
Le train
Il treno.
All masculine, in these three languages.
They're only neutral in English because almost everything is neutral in English.
- an argument with no value to anyone.
In India it's female:
Shatabdi
Rajdhani
Maitree
Vagina is masculine in romance languages and skirt is in German
I got Thomas for my son a few years ago. I thought 'narrated by Ringo Starr - cool'. One of the first episodes we watched had the train being bricked up in the tunnel. Well, that's enough if that. Turned it off.
Have to admit I don't like the unnecessary percussion track on the new one's theme. Sounds like they wanted a quick, cheap, way to jazz it up.
Otherwise the new one was better. Probably still is. Don't see it much these days
🤔 That the only episode I remembered .
No patterned shirt??
yeh strange
rubbish America nothing beats being a kid watching Thomas the tank engine narrated by the magnificent tones of Ringo Starr and it was always the fat controller , who the hell is mr toppen hat ?
1:21 so when Dave goes to prison for saying something the government deems offensive (is actually a crime in the UK, look it up), I'll reassure him that actions have consequences so he can feel better ☺️
what-
Er yeah, except saying something you're gonna be arrested for is pretty easy to avoid.
Yes, rhetoric that incites violence or other crime is illegal. You think this is weird in some way? Was it mainly finger-painting at your school?
I'm a Thomas fan and this is hilarious
Why isn't your shirt patterned???
All these complaints about foreign accent Voice. Is it because companies going PC? Or is it cause neutral English accent voice actor more expensive? And companies just want to save cost?
Possible spoiler....
Didn't it turn out that Dave had made up the show and perfume etc?
Haven't seen that episode for a while.
Yep, he did
@@wisteela Tar mate

Yeah also British rail is owned by norwegian and Hong king based companies
I’m pretty sure we can all agree, original Thomas The Tank Engine was the best😂👌🏼
How can he seriously claim that there's nothing you can't say, when in Britian we literally have laws like the offensive miscommunication act that literally makes it possible to spend time in jail if someone is upset over a letter or email you sent them? That's beyond "you can say it, but there's consequences". That's flat out there being things you're not allowed to say, enforced by law.
Yeah, that jail time is a consequence of saying it
@@oasta5182 "You're not being told you can't murder people, there are just consequences if you decide to do it". This is dumb logic. There are things in society the goverment and the law have decided civilians shouldn't be allowed the freedom to do. Acting like it's not surpressing free speech because it's illegal is both dumb and entriely totalitarian in logic. What higher level of supression is there, in the first place? Planting chips in peoples brains that stop them saying certain things? Banning certain opinions by law is as far into surpressing free speech as you can go, without literally mutilating people, or forcibly altering their brains patterns.
@@jamesg6660 They key difference between the PC crowd calling for action and a Totalitarian government, is the fact that the government is not (or should not be) taking the action. When he refers to "consequences for what you say" he's referring to social NOT criminal consequences. If there are any laws that prohibit certain speech, they should immediately be removed from the legal code of a government. But that does not mean that anything goes. Business leaders, coworkers, social media, friends, etc. all have boundaries that if crossed, will impact someone negatively. Should you lose your job for sexually harassing a coworker, even though you only used words? Absolutely. Should you face jail time? Absolutely not.
@@jamesg6660 I guess it gets a bit iffy once you get into the area of should the government punish people who incite violence, and what counts as inciting violence? But I definitely agree that no government should punish something as subjective as "hate speech and discrimination". That's not the government's job.
@@chrisjohnson4380 I agree with you, but the point is that people can, and do, face jail time over it. I myself, have in the past, gotten into legal trouble under the malicious miscommunications act for mocking someone for being ugly on social media, because they made a complaint against me (that's how broad the malicious miscommunications act is). It didn't go to trial, it was just a police caution, but they told me I was lucky it didn't go beyond that, since the "victim" wanted to press the charges.
A goat ate it for its twy
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOOOOOOO AT THE TRUMP BURNS xD
I admit : tommy the train scared the living daylights out of me since i was a boy until now.
"idk he's just creepy *
Fat controller has gotten so scary 😳
Life is not goodish, it's shit
6:25 - 8:10 - If I turned up for work, then flat out refused to do my job for no good reason, I'd expect rightly I'd get the sack. Why is teaching such a basic reality to children apparently such a horrific idea? 🤷♂️ Plus, you omitted that the very next installment opens with Henry, having learnt his lesson, being returned to service. Heaven forbid mentioning the original Rev Awdry story also teaches children about the importance of forgiveness and second chances! 🙊
Bit of a shame that wound me up, because otherwise I mostly like the rest of this video, even if I don't totally agree. 😕
While the Fat Controller was indeed an authoritarian figure, the subtext has _always_ been trying to ridicule him for this, such as his mansplaining to Thomas' driver and fireman how to fish the fishes out of his tanks in one story, rather than actually helping out. We still come across pretentious a***holes like him in managerial roles, and I'd argue having him in stories as such, rather than just a loveable idiot has a positive educational purpose too.
As for the international characters: Yes, in the 21st century we need to teach children about global cultures, but other stories can surely do that better than Thomas... with _people_ . The Railway Series was focused on moral lessons (they were written by a Vicar, afterall), and the realities railway operation - okay, sentient engines excepted.😏 We now have a 1m gauge Kenyan loco, 3'6" gauge Japanese loco, 5' gauge Russian loco, 5'3" gauge Brazilian loco, and both 5'6" and 1m gauge Indian locos all happily running on 4'8½" gauge track without the slightest modification! Not to mention American, Australian, Italian, Chinese, Mexican, French and German engines, yes also of 4'8½" gauge, but all *much* bigger than UK locos (long story), magically not colliding with platforms or tunnel roofs either. If Rev Awdry wrote a story, however odd it may seem to most folk, it *did* happen to a real loco somewhere at sometime and inspire his story. Oh, and they can now all wiggle their buffers to wave at you, Thomas dreams to be an elephant, and they don't require a crew to operate 'to signify their freedom'!🤦♂️
Plus, I can't help feeling these international characters play up to stereotypes as a gimmick, rather than really doing much, if anything, to break barriers - what do others think here?😕
My arguement on Thomas' existential crisis being some 'new idea' is that Edward lacked confidence, and his stories focused on this. In one in particular he needed to haul a freight train, but struggled and help wasn't available, so his crew had to slacken the couplings and he took the load up again one wagon at a time... That's both a physics lesson on inertia and good metaphoric advice for mental health!😃 But Edward was considered 'too dull' and effectively axed to make room for the more vibrant, extroverted international characters... What does that tell us about the real extent of 'progresiveness' in this new ethos?😕
Take care, stay safe,
I'd argue that having a bit of drama in children's media is healthy for them. We need to show them that the world isn't a fantasy world where everything always works out all the time, or else they won't be able to accept when things don't work out. Obviously I'm not saying we should go to the other extreme either, where it's nothing but misery in kids' tv shows, that'd be far worse. But having a little bit here and there won't do any harm.
Ew, Thomas the Tank Engine should not have animated characters. I was not prepared to see that. Very uncanny.
Good point though.
Well post covid, this didn't age well.
Oh look it's that trains-gender guy...
I like trains.
“Trains don’t have nationalities”
Yeah the Flying Scotsman is nation neutral...
Plus you’ve annoyed the spotters by confusing trains with engines.
Modern life is now rubbish
Ross Bourne no new series’s of modern life is goodish
They guy who said things are getting worse, turns out he had a point
In my experience nothing offends people more than other people being offended.
Well I don't know when this was made, but for years now there are some things that you CAN'T say Gorman, because they are illegal. It is not directly to do with the snowflakes that get outraged over things they shouldn't really be outraged about that we love so much on the found poems.
Take Mark Meechan's case for example.
He thought it would be funny to turn his girlfriends dog into something horrible as a prank: a *azi. He recorded himself training the dog to act like a *azi, doing the h**ler salute to phrases like "g*s the jews", the pug watching *azi speeches etc. He then put it on CZcams and took a plane somewhere on vacation I think.
The video was called "M8 Yer Dugs A *azi" (without the censorship, back then CZcams didn't censor that word yet). At the time his youtube channel had almost no subscribers, I don't remember exactly maybe 8. The point is that he was not an influencer with an audience. It was probably mostly his friends that were gonna see the prank.
He arrived on his destination, got in the hotel, and when he got the hotel wifi his phone was drowned in notifications. What happened?
His video went viral. People were sharing it all over social media, and millions saw it and found it funny.
The problem is that at this point, some police or court official saw it. They wondered if it would be offensive for jews, despite receiving not a single complaint out of the MILLIONS of people that had seen it.
So they went to ask a sort of "representative" of the jewish community that they use on matters like this. I don't know why he is supposed to represent the jewish community but I know a fair share of jews who are offended that such a man speaks for them, as if all jews think the same. The man said it is offensive, and so Mark Meechan was convicted for hate speech. In the court case, the judge said that "context doesn't matter". He was deemed to pay a 800 pound fine, but that is the least of his problems. The worst of it is that he got smeared on all newspapers as a *azi and got a criminal record for hate speech. This means that he practically can't get a job. He was once to get a gig on a panel for BBC, but when the twitter mobs heard about this they pressured the BBC to change their mind, and succeeded. Any company that hires him will be ostracised for hiring a *azi, even though he is not one.
You know who else got angry when someone trained dogs to act like *azis? The goddam *azis. It is obviously ridiculing *azis, not supporting them.
This was years ago. Since then Mark Meechan has become very famous (censorship rarely works, it just draws attention to whatever you want to hide), and has become a symbol for human rights groups to rally for. To this day thousands, maybe millions, of people think he is a *azi.
Mark has raised money to try appealing the court's decision, and has gone to all the higher courts and legal options in the UK, being refused a jury at every step (because a jury of normal people would obviously not convict someone over a dog prank). Their only last option is the European Court of Human Rights. Last I checked Meechan was asking his supporters if the money was better spent on the ECHR or donated to some human rights organisation, and was letting the community decide. Meechan was feeling guilty that so much money was being wasted on his case and he didn't feel it was worth it to just waste more tens of thousands of pounds to just be rejected again when the money could do something useful.
I urge any of you with doubts to search for the original video and judge it for yourself. Just ask yourself if you have not said jokes worse or as offensive as that, and feel lucky that it didn't happen to you (maybe you were smart enough to self censor and only say it to people you trust instead of keeping it public, but he is a comedian, doesn't have that luxury).
Sorry for all the asterisks in case it's hard to read, I tried without them but the comment disappears with the "explicit language".
I think this is the only time I agree with the found poetry compared to Dave. Thomas the Tank Engine was better during the stop motion physical model trains era. The CGI doesn't do it for me and the musical interludes make me uneasy, whereas I don't find the old episodes outrageous. The authoritarianism of the Fat Controller was because it was based on Reverend Awdry's books and it was true to the original stories. None of the Thomas stories since the CGI transition in 2009 are based on any of the classic books AFAIK. As for the episode where Henry was bricked up, I agree with Ringo Starr, he deserved his punishment because he epitomised a naughty child being sent to his room, but in train form. It is extreme, yes, probably too much so, but it was right for the time and right for the original book. And anyway, it was resolved in the following episode. As for the hat blowing off Sir Topham's head, that joke didn't deserve a round of applause, there's nothing filthy about that whatsoever. And the dynamics reasoning is due to the camera panning and motion blur rather than the static shots shown in the old episode, which I think demonstrate a more scenic atmosphere than the computerised graphics of the modern iterations.
Modern Life is Goodish, yes, but the "Thomas the Tank Engine" part of Modern Life isn't as Goodish as it used to be. I'm not going to use the "Political correctness going mad/all PC on us" excuse, but I would rather watch or animate an episode of Thomas from the classic era than from the animated era for the reasons outlined above. Apologies for opening this can of worms but I needed to get this off my chest. I love Modern Life is Goodish, and will continue to do so, but this segment was the one where I disagree with Dave the most over any particular subject.
P.S. Wait, you censored twat at 5:00 but not cunt at 7:29?! Even though they mean the same thing?! Cuntsistency is nice!
None of the stories from after 1995 are based on the source material 😂
@@jackcollins707britt was the one responsable for thomas' downfall
@@chavopatyfanstudios2005 i'm well aware of magic railroad's massive fuckup🤣
Thomas has lost its heart....now it's cheap cgi...THAT is the problem with it. It just is the same as the countless other cookie cutter CGI shows. The original version was hand made models with hugely detailed scenery. They also followed the original authors ideals. Modern Thomas isnt the same.
"If anyone who does what I do for a living mentions these topics there will always be people who expect offense and look for offense whether any is intended or not.
Now I'm trying my hardest and I hope you can see that I'm treading carefully. I'm trying to pick the right words and the truth is I would be upset if anyone was offended"
--Dave Gorman, Modern Life is Goodish, Season 1 Episode 6.
Looks like Dave was once perfectly aware of what he's poo-pooing here.
Can’t stand the pc version of Thomas the Tank Engine! It was never like this when I was young! Rev. Awdry would deeply offended! 🤮
Rev. Awdrey was deeply offended about most things, he made Mary Whitehouse seem like a care-free flower child.
I don't know who that Audrey woman is, but the author was Rev. Wilbert Awdry.
Rosie Fay Just a typo you numpty!
You're upset over fictional trains? Man you snowflakes need to calm down. Stop getting offended over nothing and grow up a bit eh?
What? Wait. You can say anything you want, there's just consequences for saying it...(like large fines and jail time). That bloody well means you can't say anything you want. [Gosh, that sounded like Dave Gorman responding to someone who said something terribly stupid, except that someone is also Dave Gorman.)
There has been loads of examples when political correctness has gone too far but you have choose not to find them, cancel culture is here and around us every day. this is lazy comedy on your part. at one point you even say (1.35) that more people getting offended is a good thing, could not disagree more, being offended easy is nothing to be proud of. Having such a low tolerance for people with different views to our own is not a strength. Its the definition of intolerance and leads to a more divided society.

Different views are something like which ice cream is better or which fast food tastes better, it is not deciding who gets to have human rights, it is not treating people differently based on the colour of their skin, the sexual and/or gender identity. Did you vote for Brexit?
@@ravenfeatherblack9476 I'm a little bit amazed with this answer, all of the examples you gave are all very complex and you will have a different answer depending on what kind of society you want to build. these are very different from empirical facts. Human rights, should prisoners get the vote ? "not treating people differently based on the colour of their skin", is Positive discrimination/affirmative action acceptable in some situations ?
No can't say I voted brexit, I was very much torn on the subject.
It says a lot about you as a person that you can't tell the difference between disagreeing and being offended.
@@ravenfeatherblack9476 Melanie, you are incorrect.
Human rights are exactly the issues where discussing is most needed. Without discussion, the alternative is dogmatic belief and censorship of any different idea. That is how you end up with people throwing gays of roofs for standing up for gay rights.
Human rights NEED discussion. Like Blake intelligently pointed out, we NEED to discuss if it is ok to discriminate based on race and sex on university admissions, or in general, where is sexual and racial discrimination ok and where it is not. I think it is NOT ok on any public institution, and in many cases it should be outlawed in some aspects of private life.
We NEED to discuss who has a right to vote. I think it makes sense to take away one's right to vote, as it is less important than one's right's to freedom.
These things should not be mandated by some elite. The best scenario is the one where we as a society discuss and debate this issues, trying to convince each other on possible answers.
"You can still say whatever you like but now there are consequences" makes a great soundbite but it doesn't really make any sense.
In any time in the past there were things you could say without consequence and things you couldn't and that is still true today.
What has changed is what you can say and in some cases who is doling out the consequences.
It's certainly reasonable for someone to say that on balance they think those changes are good (though I would suggest if they think all the changes are good they are completely unaware of some of the things that have caused trouble and they don't foresee how it's possible that changes just over the horizon will effect them)
For an example of some of the political correctness crusade that worries me the person who made a really awful joke on twitter about a disease not being a danger to them because they are white (I'm sure it made sense to her at the time) she lost her job and received an unbelievable amount of hate, completely disproportionate to tweeting something she thought was being ironic but the internet decided was racist.
I think even the people who approve of every way what is acceptable has changed should be very wary of the danger of a twitter mob and very wary of the infrequent cases of "hate speech" that aren't hate speech and "discrimination" that isn't discrimination that make it to court because the effect of one person beating those charges is still a chilling effect on freedom of speech.
I really like the Jon Ronson ted talk about one life ruining tweet. It's not just a overly biased takedown of pc culture
Right wing snowflakes maybe
NOT FUNNE!!!
Now days you can be fired for wrong think. We are going backwards not forwards with our societal changes.
Dave Gorman is too white for my taste.
