When will the idiocy stop? This was the funniest episode of the series. “John Cleese has slammed BBC-owned UKTV for removing an episode of Fawlty Towers which featured racist language. The actor, 80, who played Basil Fawlty, branded the channel 'stupid' for not realising The Germans was mocking the Major's use of the 'n-word'. The 1975 episode, fondly remembered for the line 'don't mention the War', is the latest in a series of British programmes to be culled from streaming sites.” https://mol.im/a/8412479 Serious about crackers | ||

Bloody brilliant!  His first comment echoes my point about all civilizations/peoples having been enslaved at some point in human history and the current ludicrous, myopic, self-centered whining about a relatively short period of slavery on the North American continent. | |||

 he has a good point... its a good thing that the Las Vegas Strip isn't in Seattle, otherwise there would be a lot of really confused libtards wondering what to do next about all them statues at Caesars Palace and The Forum Shops and we won't even talk about the statuary at The Venetian yet... | |||

I used that line when meeting my niece’s new in-laws for the first time. Casual ice-breaking question: where does your last name originate? “Germans” “Don’t mention The War” Gales of laughter. Ice broken.

That is absolutely one of the funniest comedies I've ever seen. And the "German" episode was the funniest of the series. IDIOTS!!!!! | |||

‘A classic episode [The Germans] of the comedy Fawlty Towers will be reinstated to streaming service UKTV with a warning about "offensive content and language"…’ www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.c...inment-arts-53032895 "offensive content and language" – my ass. These PC libs couldn’t recognize satire if they were in a tub of it. Serious about crackers | |||

Glad I have both VHS and DVD copies. I though "Basil the Rat" was the funniest one. | |||

You know just about everything I see on television I find offensive.... actually the news, when I watch it, I find most offensive... maybe that should be banned. My Native American Name: "Runs with Scissors" | |||
