My favourite isn't in the video. Scissor sisters. From scissoring - google it. A related one is clam jousters. From one of the slang terms for the female genitalia - bearded clam.
Chris Buchan. Seven years on and it's still happening. There are homophobic bigots who imagine Coogan is speaking up for them, and PC lefty gays who are actually offended by what is so clearly a send-up.
John Smith people laugh at hearing these names because they're funny. If Coogan was trying to prove a point about homophobia he scored an own goal by getting people laughing at funny names for lesbians.
There's a lot of comments saying you couldn't get away with this in modern times. But honestly, I think you could. I'm queer and I think this is bloody hilarious.
Except these days it's more about people being offended on behalf of others, that's the issue. PC woke culture. Which is why you don't really see this style around anymore.
Given that _context_ is rapidly becoming a dirty word that counts for nowt in certain ideological circles these days I respectfully disagree on the notion that this sort of material (at least in a mainstream show) could still be ‘gotten away with’… On a related note: always amusing to observe those of a demonstrably leftwing disposition feeling compelled to inform the rest of us exactly what they found funny and why. The _guilt_ they feel for laughing at ‘edgy’ humour is palpable. ;)
@@BWater-yq3jx I mean you do see this style around. Partridge is still around, and still him being uncomfortable and unable to talk about queer subjects is the butt of jokes.

It's not politically correct no more,but Alan is the master of being rude and not knowing it and he looks cute. Even now,speaking honestly is all most against the law and the truly honest people in the public eye have all died. 🍻🍸
@@cabbageswithcars9532 Hello, We think the same,it's not rude to say things that are honest,not insulting,that's different,it's more everything has to be perfect,nothing out of verbal place, which is tiresome,when you know perfectly well that a person you know is speaking with someone they can't stand,or one uses old terms and no one knows what the F your talking about and in away it's part I think of why general conversation is dying a slow death and we have to say the exact right thing to someone we don't have to impress,so we're nice and PC.
Who do we blame for the woke Taliban nowadays. Ourselves of course for putting up with it. Nobody in television has the balls to confront these arseholes like Eddie Izzard who decides to be female when he wants to. Just what sort of a "woman's day" is he having. A heavy period day, a post natal depression day or a bad menopausal day. No, he is just a bloke with a fucking frock on trying to get some attention.
ayup, so just slap on some blackface and just them laugh at me doing this now me! After all the U.K. now has a completely racist government elected on the bigoted, xenophobia agenda of Brexit -- hurrah comedy was so funny in the 1830's before all that silly abolish slavery garbage ruined it. Make Comedy Great Again hats now available in the lobby next to the Mussolini mugs and the Poofter Joke books!
I'm offended by this, Glen, in that it's total twaddle trying to represent itself as comedy. If anyone needs a head check it's those who find this sort of garbage in any way funny.
It’s hilarious -and I have 2 Lesbian friends who also think so! If you’re offended, tough tits ! Go read the Guardian and take the knee in a corner somewhere 😂👊

These days, people tend to over-analyse everything. Why cant they just etc. etc.
@duguk If this is in reference to his recent article, he explains quite clearly about the fact that, Alan is a character and if you take what he says seriously you're missing the point. In this scene we are laughing at the close minded, bigoted attitude of Partridge, Steve himself is in no way condoning sexism, in fact quite the opposite.
