No .. ..this is a classic bit of old comedy written within that time .. it is not meant to be offensive in any way as its comedy .. we can't keep erasing old things because it is not PC.. rubbing out the past means we will not learn for the future..

That joke shows what a genius Cleese is. It’s the funniest commentary I’ve seen on today’s incoherent,sexist, regressive Trans Ideology movement. This reflects badly on the poor state of comedians today. With the exception of Gervaise, Chappelle & some brilliant female comedians

Just a reminder:

The sketch is just a bit of fun (humour) It’s also accurate & not a lie!

@vrarda1 Do not censor Life of Brian! I'm so tired of woke censorship.

If we laughed more at the nonsense ideology that's capturing people, then it would blow over. No one can change sex, and if Loretta wants to talk about how he'd like a baby, he can, but it's as silly today as it was in the 70s, and always will be.

I think people today get confused between taking offence and something being offensive. That clip is not offensive but some people felt offended. That’s their issue not the writers. No matter what the subject is some people could take offence to it. Leave things how they were.

John Cleese is a genius, I howl laughing at the life of Brian and I always will, leave well alone.

Why are we not hearing the edit/cancel discussion over whether it’s right to have removed the song that closes the film and for what reason John Cleese may have to no longer include it in his theatre adaptation?
