I was watching one of my favourite British panel shows called QI, and VFTs got a mention, so I figured I'd share the brief clip (about 25:30-29 in the video). I put this in the funny video section being that it is from a comedy show, though in the segment of the show I'm referring to, the panel didn't get too carried away.

I'm sure I saw an announcement about that a year or two ago then totally forgot about it. Hope they can bring the magic back that they had back in the day!

gj, it's good to hear that you're also a fan of the comedy troupe. What was your favorite sketch from the group? dvg

I was a little young when they first came out, but I grew up on the reruns on comedy channel. I got really interested in political stuff around highschool, (probably due to watching a lot of Jon Stewart), and so after learning a little more, and then hearing others around me that had really simplistic views of things talking as if they had it all figured out made me really love this skit about the guy who decides to defend himself in court (took me a while to find it haha): www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJsQDPK-vvgBut now, having been a bass player for so many years, I always get a chuckle out of this one: Their incorporation of music into skits was always fun for me.

This sketch wasn't played much because certain humourless groups(the usual ones) complained and got it pulled from being aired in most re-runs. Too bad, it's one of my all-time favourites!

Haha for a moment I thought maybe you were going to share the "Scott's Not Gay" skit, which was also hilarious.
It's funny how the societal pendulum swings, in the 80's the right-wingers were the pearl clutchers, while rather progressive people like Zappa were pointing out how censorship led to bad things, then the 90's still had some right wing influence, but it was certainly weakening, then the 00's hit and all of a sudden the left-wing cathedral started to dominate the institutions with their new cult-like ideology, and now they've become the monsters demanding censorship of anybody not falling in line, while those in the center and right are warning of the dangers of censorship.
It all just goes round in circles, and nobody seems to learn.

Lol, that's another classic.
Yeah, there is a bit too much of a widespread belief that basically any jokes that offend someone's sensitivities is some major transgression against them, and that there should be a ever-expanding list of forbidden subjects that are off-limits to humour. While it's true that recently the left has over-reached in these ways to the point of stifling any truly open discussion, and making college campuses a no-man's land for most comedians, there are also rampant attempts at the same type of cancel culture on the right. If you want an example of one of their most noxious purity tests, just look at what happens to anyone who openly criticizes Trump, especially from within a conservative circle.
And on the subject of censorship:
... and with commentary!

That commentary was absolutely worth the watch. "The censors at CBC said the donkey has to be alive." That might be one of the most legit CBC lines I've ever heard.
As for the both sides thing, I totally hear you on the Trump supporters being overzealous, but they don't have the institutional power to remove you from social media sites, (or payment processing sites) as the left likes to do. The most Trump supporters do is mock, or verbally abuse others they disagree with for the most part. Meanwhile a Trump supporter was shot for wearing the MAGA hat in the wrong city, and leftists were caught attacking children of Trump supporters on multiple occasions, so you tell me which one I should feel safer around haha. Even if you take into account probably the worst thing the Trump supporters did, that January 6th capitol riot, where they killed nobody (but some of their own did die due to medical emergencies), and caused very little damage, and tussled with police (which you'd think the left would have loved, but I guess it's only okay when they do it), meanwhile the leftists rioted for months, leading to the deaths of over 30 people, injuring far more, and they did hundreds of millions of dollars of damage to local businesses that were already hurting from the lockdowns, and which provided services and financial support to those minority communities where they were rioting (and I'm sure many if not most of those businesses were minority run, which is who they were supposedly rioting on behalf of).
I'm just baffled by the Trump derangement syndrome that somehow pervaded into, and persists to this day in Canada, yet nobody seems to have a problem with Biden's corruption or war mongering. And that's not a defense of Trump, but an indictment on the media's bias, and the willful blindness (on both sides) due to the tribal nature of today's political world.
But I shan't go on any further, for this is not the place for it, and at this point, I don't think anybody is budging on their opinions of the Cheetoh dictator haha, so I'll contribute another kids in the hall skit not far off our earlier subject of discussion, Freedom Of Speech:
By the way, did you enjoy any of the guys from the show's other projects? I thought NewsRadio with Dave Foley was tolerable, and at times, hilarious, but then it's hard for me not to enjoy any show when a scene includes Stephen Root.

I agree we should probably try to move this discussion back to the subject of comedy, I would like to note a few things that need fact-checked: the right-wing mob didn't leave without inflicting their own body count, officer Brian Sicknick lost his life due to injuries inflicted by the insurrectionists, and several more officers committed suicide following the traumatizing events. And statistically, more people, including children, have been killed in the US and Canada by domestic right-wing extremists than any other group, and that factors in attacks by left wingers, and foreign and domestic Islamic extremists(including the 9/11 attacks).
But back to the comedy, I liked NewsRadio, but it just wasn't the same after Andy Dick got Phil Hartman killed(according to Jon Lovitz). And "Death Comes to Town" was too much of a Twin Peaks spoof years after anyone would care.
