So did I until I run it through Google and found thousands of matches including pictures of the planet wearing a skull cap. Those damn racists have all the bases covered!

Heres one for you I just thought up

What did Hitler do when he needed to fart in a synagogue?
he just let out a little gas

Fair point, your lot are so much closer to the sweet release of death.

And some of us can't wait

F**k off, no they weren't but I've had to change them to white guys because of inverted racism by so called producers

Stupid BBC, always trying to keep down The Man!

This is not correct. If I remember rightly, you had written something that featured black characters and were informed by a producer that, in their opinion, your take on a black character was a stereotype. Maybe they were, maybe they weren't, I haven't read it, but that was the issue. Not the fact you were writing black characters, but the fact that you may or may not have written them in a very stereotypical manner.

Yes... Errr

I was quite surprised at some of the reactions to this, and was wondering if that's how the Daily Mail started.

However I can understand the points made.
And it might work a bit better if, as suggested the jokes are a more generic parody of that type of gag.

How do you stop Paki drowning? punch him in the face
How many Blacks does it take to change a lightbulb.
Send em all home & give em a candle.
What's the differece between a Jew & a Muslim? not much, I hate the bloody lot of them.

Anyway
The sketch worked well enough for me, and the reactions would be the funniest bit.
But it's going to tread or cross a fine line however it's done
