The worst I've found is old stand-up routines that are full of gay jokes. I can't even listen to them anymore as it just seems so awful and mean.

Except Eddie Murphy’s Delirious which is the greatest stand up routine of all time and will never stop being funny no matter how outdated and offensive the material becomes.

Not too familiar with 50 Shades, but I assume the naughty domination business therein was consensual, with agreed to rules? Not rape.

I've heard lots of people say this, and without getting into too much of a diatribe I just never saw what was so great about Delirious or Raw.

Maybe it was overhyped, but I was never entertained by Eddie Murphy's stand-up comedy.

While I love most of Delirious the derogatory gay references are indeed outdated, mean, and uncalled for.

Perhaps it's a time thing, but even the first time I watched it 20ish year ago then it was too obvious much.

That said the second heckle in it was amazing. Live how Eddie completely broke.

Funny it was years before I found out what happened there.

Eddie Murphy had said if people heckled him about SNL he’d walk off stage. And it is Charlie Murphy in the audience that responds to the woman who yelled out “do Mr Rob”.

I'm going to be out of the country for the finale episode, which I'm guessing is going to be on May 19th (premiers April 14th, assuming there's an episode every week...6 episode season). What's the best way to watch it? There's no way I'm going to wait until I'm home. I looked into HBO Go but it looks like that's just for the US. Any ideas?

Crave Plus would be streaming it, the "Plus" includes HBO and the movie channels (and I think is the same price as subscribing to HBO through a cable company).

You'll need a VPN though in addition to Crave as they don't allow it to stream outside of Canada

I'm binge watching it from the beginning.

I think the Maise Williams / Charles dance scenes are the best on the show.

We are binge watching, too. I had never seen an episode up to 2 months ago. We are now in season 5. What a great show.

I would think that binge-watching GoT would be rough.

Isnt that just a ton of content and story to keep track of? Maybe its easier because of less time between stories?

The very best way to rewatch is to go to the Daemon Blackfyre youtube channel and watch the story arcs for each of the individual characters.

Ugh, I had forgotten how much the Euron character annoys me until just now.

Euron is, without doubt, the worst character on the show. Feels like a tribute to pirates of the Caribbean and not consistent with the rest of the world. What's with the eyeliner?

His nickname is "Crow's Eye", so maybe they wanted a dark colored eye? Just a guess
