Sorry to link to YouTube for this, but it's just such a great example of actual humor from the decades where it was allowed to joke about it.

Crap, I've known this skit back from when YouTube had 5-star rating system on videos, and learned it comes from The IT Crowd just today

It's a fantastic show still, very funny. :)

I used to love this show until that one transphobic episode. After watching that I looked up the main show writer and learned that he is huge piece. Such disappointment.

Wait until you realize 99% of people are transphobes and just don't tell you because it's not allowed.

That happens when you ban opinions. :)

I think a type of person shouldn't be allowed to exist is a fucking idiotic opinion mate

Tolerance of intolerance isn't tolerance, my guy.

So in your opinion you can't make yokes about piracy nowerdays? How did you get to that conclusion?

I honestly don't even think this is that edgy of a sketch ...

I don't get where OP is going with this either?

Perhaps some overzealous reference to the fact that Graham Linehan is a massive wanker, butthurt transphobe. The way you "can't really make rape/racist/sexist/transphobic jokes anymore". He doesn't really make TV anymore. This skit on the other hand, as well as most of Father Ted and The IT Crowd, is perfectly PG.
