I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the sub for a joke wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this sub is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.
You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love the show and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this sub is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find this sub closed for the sake of irony. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.
What's up with brit bongs and panel shows? The few sitcoms they actually do are superior to our burger ones, but they only give you like 20 episodes and then fuck off for a couple years.
QI gives you all you need to know about TV in Britbongland.

Just put Richard and Noel in literally anything that isn't a panel show.
Also, more panel shows.

I'm just grateful they don't try to have them removed from YouTube. There's like 400 hours of 8 Out of 10 Cats on that shit.

I genuinely wonder if he had a bad experience when he was younger because he'll be back to heckling trans women, he can't seem to help himself.
