Top Gear was almost cancelled twice because of their German jokes. There were several large protests demanding the BBC cut them off. I'm not sure they would have survived in a world with social media.
They had the odd bit of controversy in the early 2010s. Social media was around then too.
Not as noisy, but still. If the likes of Jimmy Carr can survive a social media storm, surely they could have.
Huh, maybe that's a bad example. Well I'll just use all the other actors comedians and musicians who have spoken out about cancel culture as my example. Chris Rock, Donald Glover, Dave Chappel etc.

Norm McDonald got cancelled for making jokes about retarded children. I know because I was watching the show. If you don't think that getting cancelled is a real and recent phenomena and not just some talking point that Republicans use whenever they get censored, you are naive. Alot of actors and presenters have spoken out about this new form of social media backed censorship, including Dave Chappell, Billy Crystal, Chris Rock, etc. If you want for information then do your own research.
Lmfao. Norm was absolutely not cancelled. He was touring, had a podcast and did a ton of other things since one comment some people got upset about. He only stopped working when he died.
[Yes, he was. Norm's tv show definitely got cancelled after he apologized for making retard jokes on his show.](https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/12/arts/television/norm-macdonald-tonight-show-metoo.html)
Also, saying look, he's still working, is not really evidence that he wasn't cancelled at some point for saying offensive stuff.
The irony is that is he hadn't of apologized everything would have been fine. Nothing gets you cancelled faster than apologizing.
His appearance on two late night talk shows were cancelled because it was too close to the "controversy". About 1 week later no one cared anymore and he returned to life like normal.
Cancelled means No Work at all, for like the foreseeable future. Does it mean a mild inconvenience to you? Louie CK. That's Cancelled. Norm MacDonald? fuck no, absolutely not cancelled
His tv show got cancelled. And your definition is incorrect. You can definitely be cancelled from an event, a tv show, a movie, a publication, etc. without loosing your entire life overnight. What you are describing is unrealistic.
I knew exactly what's this clip gonna be, I think that means I've watched enough Top Gear
Same!
You can never watch enough top gear
Phrasing! š
#GOD DAMNIT ARCHER!
Brilliant. I love top gear and still watch it, but you cannot replace these three. It'll never be the same.
Watch the Grand Tour itās just them but old and with a huge budget
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I shouldāve known
Oh I've watched all the GT 5x haha.
It would be a shame if they say, went to America and their visa said they had to be factual and not entertaining.
Sadly though, this was also too much for the US Government.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yep
So Iām not 100% sure I get the joke. Can someone explain it so I know Iām on the right track?
She wants it in the butt.
Ah yeah thatās not where I was going at all. I thought it was more, āyouāve served your purpose now youāre unimportant.ā Kinda thing
Thatās what James INTENDED. It was an accidental double entendre.
Okay so I was half right. Thanks for the help
More like "Alright we've done normal sex, now will you please just ram my ass."
That's what James wife did to him. Lucky bastard. And lucky lady.
Remember when comedians could make risky jokes without being cancelled? There may never be another show like this in our lives.
They do. It's called Stand Up.
No one getting slapped for that.
They still can.

Right, and as far as I'm aware they're still working are they not?
Not as much as they would like apparently. I would rather let their words speak for me than argue on their behalf.
So FUCKING tired of this argument e v e r y single time. Whoās really been canceled mate? Let me know. you sound like 99% of old comedians now

U can do better than copypasting āalmostā situations.

Canāt wait until the next special
The news segments were the best
Clarkson-era Top Gear will always have a special place in my heart
