Superb example of real life (live!) spoonerism on the BBC.

Heard while driving on the M40, still makes me laugh.

I love how he's clearly trying not to laugh.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0yeX1sc6AE

Oh, and as for comedy / humour...whilst I don't agree with the 'snowflake' comment, I do think modern on-TV humour has been largely neutered by nervous executives and an overly-strong desire "not to give offence".
There's very little that's genuinely funny anymore, and even less that'll stand the test of time and be quoted in the future the way stuff like Monty Python, NTNOCN, Blackadder, Red Dwarf and The Office (not a fan, but can see why it's successful) are. Let's not forget Fawlty Towers and Only Fools & Horses, but please can someone burn all the masters of Mrs Brown's Boys!!!
Moving to film what about the perfect parody that is Tropic Thunder, most things by Mel Brooks (who would be hounded out of Hollywood in seconds nowadays, possibly just for being "too Jewish"* ) and Zucker/Abrams/Zucker?
...and in terms of stand-up - would Richard Pryor, Bill Hicks or Robin Williams be allowed to strut their stuff now?!?
(I do think stuff like Chubby Brown and his ilk are rightly condemned to the past though - there's a line between humour and plain bigotry, and some trample all over it)
* quote from one of his films, BTW.

Thanks - That was a fun start to the weekend Two old shows from my younger days which I considered to be perfectly acceptable.
I had the television on in the background the other day. It was a repeat of that old program 'Goodnight Sweetheart' where Nicholas Lyndhurst plays the part of a time traveller (travelling between the 1980's and the wartime 1940's). I kept hearing a strange beeping noise, It took me a moment to realise that certain words being used to describe people from Japan were being censored out.
Not that long ago they showed repeats of that old classic 'Happy Days' - Before the show they had to broadcast a warning about the attitiudes of the time.
Yet modern programmes seem to allow constant swearing and verbal confrontations, completely unrealistic violence, and graphic intimacy between people of the same gender.

With all the censorship I always have a chuckle when Radio 2 plays Lou Reid’s Take a walk on the wild side, line “She never lost her head even giving head”, seems to have avoided censorship all the years
I always smile at Squeeze 'Cool for cats'..."I'm invited in for coffee and I give the dog a bone"

So true.And yes agree about the Squeeze & Lou Reid songs but listen to a lot of the current songs, there's some risky lyrics in there too but they're so inaudible/mumbled/rapped by people who struggle to enunciate .......
"Are you a town member or a country member?"
"I'm a country member."
"Ah yes, I do remember."
Amazed they got away with that in the 70s or 80s.

Tatiana Romanova in 'From Russia With Love' - in bed and wearing nothing but a pair of stockings and a ribbon round her neck:"He ran by me, got my suit damp"!
Tatiana: "I think my mouth is too big..."
Bond: "No, it's the right size. For me, that is."
