      The yanks really seem to be struggling to understand a really simple topic.

      Don’t watch it then. Comedians are here to do comedy. It would be different if this were a news anchor doing this.

      Never been more patriotic than seeing the whole country unite against these utter cretins

      It’s like Anthony Bourdain said: “Once you’ve watched an SNL skit, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Lorne Michaels to death with your bare hands”

      Nah, it didn’t really mock tourettes. In the sketch they pretended to be various controversial celebs saying they had tourettes too excuse their horrible behaviour. While I can understand the charity being sensitive especially after the „bafta controversy“.
      Really they were mocking the idea someone would pretend too have tourettes not tourettes. Actually watch the skit before you make up your mind on it

      I can’t believe how much shame they’re pouring on a tourettes sufferer. He’s there because they made a movie humanizing the disease but daring to have symptoms in public is termed deliberate racism. Back in the shame closet, dementia victims, downies, and hey, cripples also make us uncomfortable! Got a scar? You’re wearing that *at* us!

      Should have had the balls to mock the black celebrities blowing up over it, rather than tourettes itself.

      First Americans were pretending not to understand tourette’s, now British people are pretending not to understand the target of this sketch.

      I absolutely loathe censorship with comedy; but in this instance I get it. The writers on SNL are mostly clever with their jokes and skits.. this one missed the mark. Especially with the backlash. Do bettet

      The sketch didn’t mock Tourette’s at all. The joke of the sketch was celebrities who are horrible people but pretend to have a disability as an excuse for them being horrible. Nowhere at all was the punchline people with Tourette’s syndrome.

      You’d think people in this country would be well aware of this distinction in comedy. If the shoe was on the other foot, loads of people would be saying yanks don’t understand comedy

      Would usually be fine to do this sketch, but doing it right now makes it clearly at the expense of one man who really does not deserve to be dragged through this any more than he already has. I think they should have just kept this one in the drawer and done it in a few months when it had all died down and it could just be a joke about the depicted characters rather than the elephant in the room.

      I’m now fully convinced that Cartman represents the typical American view of Tourette syndrome

      I am more surprised how many in America are unaware of what tourettes is.

      It might be more known in the UK thanks to anyone remembering Big Brother 7. Pete, the winner had Tourettes which resulted in children across the country swearing randomly in class. I felt sorry for the trachers back then.

      Watched the film end of last year as a preview and have tried to get as many friends and family watch it as possible. Absolutely brilliant film that really makes the last few days even more frustrating with the piling on from uneducated people. Hope more people watch it and realise the error in their ways
