Politics.
Luke suggested that we might hit on the last comedic frontier: politics. He sent along a few links, and I've added one or two more.
First, Jackie Mason. This isn't British comedy, but it's an example of old-skool political comedy. (Well, perhaps its just standup. You be the judge.)
Classic British political comedy comes to us in the form of Yes, Prime Minister. I've included a clip or two here:
Yes, Prime Minister was a regular show that simply poked fun at the ineptitude of government. That, of course, is fair game. But how far can we go?
Ricky Gervais (Hitler & Nietzsche)
Abe Lincoln Assasination (Family Guy)
Is the Holocaust funny? Why not? What about assassinations? Would it be less funny if the assassination in question was someone else? JFK? MLK?
When does tragedy become comedy... or does it? How?
We're still
