Because it eliminates the competition and allows for a mediocre talent like Lycett to flourish.
Can imagine all the positions handed to women over the years simply for being a woman. They are Legion.
He said "it's made it a better industry" what he means by that is it's made a better industry for him. Correct.
Lmao. It's no longer comedy when there's no humour but instead there's only 'the message'. In fact, it's now propaganda.
It's humorous preaching at best... Problem is the minister is always a hypocrite...
Joe Lycett is to comedy as James Corden is to…nope. No idea.
Anorexia?
After a crap day: this waspish barb, exemplary UK satire, has cheered me up more than you could believe! Hugs. John K.
"I think cancel culture is great because it makes people more thoughtful" - Mao Zedong, probably
Yet another sacred figure to the useful idiots like Joe the propagandist.
Comedian Joe Lycett? Now that is a joke.
It has also made the comedy industry unfunny Joe Lynette is talking BS
Remember when Lycett used the Qatar World Cup vs. homosexuality controversy as nothing but a stunt for his new telly programme?
What a classy bloke.
"I personally have no problem with the gulags, I've never ended up in one."
If you ordered Julian Clary from Wish
Hold up. We were told cancel culture doesn't exist.
These folx really can't keep their lies straight.
It's different when you can decide who gets cancelled?
Step 1: It's not happening/doesn't exist
Step 2: OK, it's happening, but it's not a big deal/it's being overstated
Step 3: it is happening and It's a good thing, actually
Step 4: People complaining out about it are the real problem
"Folx". Spelling like that is part of the problem. Have some standards. Be a man.
I don't understand - "cancel culture is a myth" AND it is more "refined" at one and the same time.
Lycett won the comedian top prize of appearing on Taskmaster. He gained a lot of publicity through it but unfortunately that just highlighted how poor a comedian he actually is, hence his now presenting crap about sewing.
His presence is an insult to sewing - so damned irritating and self-serving he is on that programme! 😂
I saw him on Harry Hill's Alien Fun Capsule and he couldn't cope on there either.
Lycett is obviously running out of ideas ,,,,, he’s in the process of writing his own obituary,, RIP .
That's not Joe Lycett, that's clearly Christopher Biggins.
Lysett should do his act on stage in Tehran.
You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover apparently but you look at Joe and you know pretty much every viewpoint he’ll espouse. He’s right though, it does make comedy more inclusive…..it now allows people with little or no sense of humour to call themselves comedians.
The idea of comedy being more inclusive is an odd one.
It’s by its nature exclusive since most people aren’t funny and a disturbingly large number of people don’t have a sense of humour at all
More thoughtful ,comedy is about taking the piss
Comedy is inclusive if you take the piss out of everything and everyone
Ergo: Joe isn't a comedian.
the idea of things being "inclusive" making them inherently "good" in some way is a flawed idea in the first place
He also thinks Bradford is enriched by Islam...
If memory serves - "Who Do You Think You Are" he checked the person who said he was gay (twice). He said he was queer. Queer Theory wants to drop all boundaries. I wonder does it include the boundary between adults and children? 🚩
*Flashback* to the Derrick Jensen's college lecture about the very same things.*
@artealain Yes, it does. They call pdf files ‘Minor Attr@cted Persons.’ Also, the granddaddy of Queer Theory, Foucault, allegedly abused boys in Tunisia.

If you say this…. You not a REAL comedian
More thoughtful, Less funny. Which, correct me if i’m wrong is the foundation of comedy. Also, it’s ok when you’ve made your money to stop the threat from below.
He’s trying to lower the standard of comedy to make himself appear funnier.
He hasn’t got to worry about being cancelled because he’s a camp left wing bisexual man, that’s.why he isn’t worried about it.
If it was a middle aged openly right wing straight man he would be getting reported for every show.
They aren’t cancelling people for their actions, they’re cancelling people for what they believe
Not cancelled but a prime target for jokes at his expense by those he would want to cancel who are funny!
I think Joe Liecett would say this rubbish no matter what he personally believes.
Showing obeyance is the cost of keeping the job.
I wonder if Lycett - to the extent that he has thought about it at all - is of the mind that the restrictions imposed by cancel culture might actually produce better comedy, in a similar way to how an ingenious satirical culture was born in the USSR precisely because of the Soviet restrictions; or whether he is just an aspiring Commissar, hoping to climb the greasy pole by being boot-lickingly subservient to the current oppressor class. Given that he isn't funny, and appears not to have an original bone in his body, I'm pretty sure it's the latter.
British comedy thriving??? Are you sure?
When German Comedy is better something is wrong
@@Slumbert I was in Heathrow the other day and a German tourist was in front of me at the border control , he said that he had lost his passport, the border control agent asked him his name and age and then said "Occupation?" to which the German answered: 'No, just visiting'.
Just like they said there was no such thing as 'politically correct.'
Like most who support it, they don’t think it will come after them.
Cancel culture leads to less diversity because it starts from the idea of good and bad which of course allows a " personal" element to dictate what is good or bad.
You can consider that some comedians from the past, such as Richard Pirory, in no way of the right, would not find work on today's comedy circuit.
Even today, how many times have they tried to cancel Dave Chappelle. Luckily he's too big to cancel. They only wnat diversity when it suits them.
Canceling everyone makes comedy "more diverse"?? 😂👌
I hope dude is canceled into retirement.
ive never been more heartbroken yet unsurprised in my life
Who is he? It’s always unfunny comedians who arnt any good who want restrictions on comedy. Just make people laugh or find something else to do.
Joes amazing techicolor shirt of vomit
Because he personally benefits from it and it supresses actual funny comedians who are better than him. No investigation needed.
The only way for "comics" like Lycett to make a fortune is on the BBC.
He's not funny enough to be uncancelllable.
He must hate Gervais being incredibly wealthy! 😂
while i thought he was vaguely amusing when i first saw his work, Joe Lycett would improve comedy if he was cancelled...
So an irrelevant non entity like joe needs a bit of screen time as virtually every person on the planet has forgotten or doesn’t know who he is
He looks like a hostage reading a prepared statement under duress. He doesn't seem genuine. I'm not defending him, btw. Just calling him a coward.
I wondered why he was getting so much work recently.
calling Joe a comedian is the most offensive joke ive heard in weeks
There is no comedies any good on tv anymore !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well done Licehead !
julian clary has let himself go
It’s no surprise that someone who’s benefitted from the status quo would defend it.
Lycett is a funny enough bloke but he’s very tame.
He may be right that comedy is now more “thoughtful” and “inclusive” but it’s simultaneously become significantly less daring and much less funny.
It’s telling that the only way people can defend cancel culture is via an overly simplistic false representation. There are so many different levels to it, largely based on how successful a person has become, but Lycett opts to paint it using primary colours.
When he gets caught up in the machinery he will be sorry when he loses his whole career!
He was quite kind on the great British sewing bee. I didn’t know he was a comedian.
He was a one-joke comedian.
This is his end
Lycett isnt going to come out of this well
He's on camera. He knows he can't rock the boat without attracting trouble. Who ever thought Joe was going to be the one to take a stand?
Woke comedy is big smelly balls. it's not funny at all just like Joe
Joe Lycett is immune to cancellation as his politics are just the orthodoxy. Deviating from this leaves you on the chopping block.
His position is ludicrous.
He is to comedy what Larry Greyson was to rugby league
Im not interested in fart jokes being the only thing... ideocracy was not meant to be a documentary
Cancel culture is not from the state, it is social shunning! Shunning is hard thing mentally to bear!
He's a regime minion.
I'm not sure being offensive is necessarily funny. Hitler's speeches aren't consumed as comedy. I think there are comedians whose acts are kinda bitter or unpleasant, but that doesn't preclude that a risky joke could be funny or induce thinking. If irony can be missed, you'd have to cancel David Mitchell for the 'kill the poor' bit. If the poor are fair game, then legally protecting other people seems like you've legally enshrined that these people over here are a little precious.
Does he understand his own job and the techniques that it might involve? Comedy might involve absurdity. It might involve callbacks where you reference something from much earlier and maybe in a contradictory way (that would complicate cancelling someone for a snippet). It might involve complex irony, storytelling and, in some instances, someone might examine the uglier bits of their soul. State-sanctioned amusement seems a different enterprise.
Joe Lycett is very left wing, very annoying, and very self satisfied. He's also looking very much like a chubby John Lydon.
@phily Steady on, John Lydon is a legend. I was thinking Lycett is more like the love child of Pat Butcher and Julian Clary.
@@gilly5094 I can see that For once on RUclips, can't we meet in the middle?
Cancel them
Lycett's incisive, creative approach to "thoughtful, inclusive" comedy in his roast - off against Nick Helm was to describe/belittle him as a "fat pr!ck". Hardly witty, and he's very selective about what identity demographics should be exempt and which ones are still fair game.
Inclusive. They keep using that word. I don't think they know what it means.
They mean exclusive, it's the leftoid's version of doublespeak.
I don't have a problem with woke comedy. A lot of comedians joke about what they know. It's why I personally don't find many female comedians funny. They joke about women specific things which don't resonate with me and a man. So by all means, let's have comedians who can resonate with women, and minority groups and the LGBT community. That's fine. But the whole cancel culture side of things is rotten. Not only are the best comedians (the dark comedians) being pushed out and replaced with vanilla, boring, safe comedians, but the ones who are being cancelled are always white straight men. So comedy is dying for white straight men. Being stamped out by an ideology which says inclusivity is key, as they make comedy more exclusive for so called oppressed groups. There is nothing inclusive about cancel culture. The idea of inclusivity is the biggest joke in comedy. How is it inclusive to ban and isolate entire demographics?
He thinks he can't be canceled by the blue haired brigade, one day they will come knocking.
Cancel culture attempts to neuter comedy.
Joe Lycett has said things I found offensive and I saw it for what it was (punching down) so I didn't get upset. He remains two faced and vulgar, hope they aren't cancelled as it won't be so funny and maybe minds will change
What is the point of a lycett, no, sorry, no idea!
Lycett is as funny a colon cancer.
Lycett is about as funny as a outbreak of ebola, he's just envious that he's never going to be as successful as the real funny guys like Gervais.
In medieval times Unfunny jesters were executed .bring them back..
Lycett is not a serious and authentic person. Clearly.
Unless of course he's doing a 'Stuart Lee' and using his performance persona to mock and satirise those people who think cancel culture is a good thing. But I doubt he's that clever.
Is he a comedian?
comedienne I think
Cancel culture is rather uni-directional, isn't it? All those middle-class "comedians" are punching up, are they? Don't make me laugh (as if they could). It's just ye olde snobberie.
"it makes people a bit more thoughtful" from a fella who is very vulgar towards 'the right' people, if you deem certain people or people with certain views persona non grata then it's allowed. He's just a hypocrite
Never heard of him.
Doubt he could make me laugh.
Ricky Gervaise or Joe Lynette
Let me think about that one ………………
The great thing about the art's is if you don't like it don't go simple and if you do get offended buy a joke grow a pair of balls
The short answer is because he’s a terrified coward. Also see Frankie Boyle.
Joe Loseit more like
#jocaulfield
Until he get cancelled
Never even heard of the guy so irrelevant 😂
Dont care, not even vaguely humerus.
Wonder whats on his hard drive?
Cancer culture at its best...😂
Joe Lycett the unfunniest man in comedy
Average but very conformist comedians love cancellation of subversive and hilarious competitors. Who knew.
Because there would be to much competition for serial loser with zero talent.
Joe Lycett does NOT look well! 😮
Embarrassed that I used to find him funny
Joe Lycett is A Julian Clary ripoff but devoid of humour
Joe Lycett a comedian?, are you sure..?, I think that's taking it a bit far...
Blah! Blah! Blah! I disagree with Joe, he isn’t that funny to me too.
Joe Lycett is a bore!
Hes not funny in the least infact not even a comedian but good old bbc likes his kind unfunny bit like the other bbc woke comics
We're did this mug pop up from he just appeared
Some of Joe Lycett is almost quite funny, Ricky Gervais, Frankie Boyle, Jimmy Carr, Sean Lock and the like are hilarious. He is talking total BS. Probably skint and looking for a payday.
He's not funny.
Like all leftoids, he thinks the purpose of comedy is not to make people laugh but to indoctrinate them with leftoid dogma, which is what leftoids believe all art, music and drama is for, not entertainment, but to impose moral codes.
I cancel his unfunny dirge ..c##£ ch4 ..watching paint dry is funnier
