Well that was a crazy episode. What were your thoughts on this contest? Watch episode 4x7 along with uncut for this episode on Patreon: www.patreon.com/thenormies

Big props to Kaitlin Olson for getting pelted in the face multiple times and NOT dropping the beer, that is a real skill

The thing about this (and the Community episode too) is that in both examples we have characters explicitly calling out the racism. We're supposed to think Dee's costumes are awful, but if we can't watch the episode, we don't get to make that judgement. So, ironically, the message that they send by banning it becomes that it's not ok to find Dee's costumes awful.

Rana's face when they showed Rex lol. His body is pretty wild though.

8:55 I would think the fact that Charlie points out Dee is being racist should be enough for even the thickest person to acknowledge it’s clearly satire and therefore being banned is uncalled for.

Never understood why this episode or the Lethal Weapon ones were banned. The whole goddamn point is that Dee (Or the others in the LW ones) is/are being a horrible racist and she's bad for doing so and gets instantly punished for it every time. The whole crux of the bit is that racism is bad.

It’s not outdated, it’s satire. The whole point of this show is how horrible the main characters are, and they are the butt of the joke *BECAUSE OF* their racism, narcissism, and ignorance. The humor isn’t that the stereotype is funny. The humor is that the characters are idiots for not realizing (or not caring) that their behavior is horrific. Remember: Portraying something is not necessarily the same as promoting it, especially when the whole point is to mock the people doing it.

"Man why was this episode banned? I do not remember anything in this episode that was worse than a usual Sunny episode" Dee: I am gonna record some of my crazy characters. "OHHHHhhh yeah"

Glad to see we'll get the banned episodes as well. Beautiful.

The character who is doing racist caricatures is being pelted in the face, mocked for being unfunny, and mocked for her leaked pathetic diaries and gets named "patheticgirl". Sure, shes doing offensive things, but they spent the entire episode showing how pathetic she is lol

I was sitting here wondering why this was canceled, then Dee started talking about her characters…ohhhhhhhh

"You got a great shot" lol I still use this line straight from Mac's mouth to this day hehehe

Can't wait till the Lethal Weapon episodes.

Rex is the MVP of cameos. 😂

Patheticgirl43 is a parody of lonelygirl15, a popular KZfaqr from way back in the day

As soon as they got to this episode I knew how Rana would react to Rex. What a Stallion!

Im sorry if it is offensive, but Taiwan Tammy makes me laugh my ass off 😂😂😂

Just remember, they don't make fun of these groups...they're really making fun of the type of people who actually are racist, bigoted and sexist.

Spidey holding it down and keeping it real when they spoke about offensiveness. This show has done way worse than Dee doing characters lmao Which are one of her greatest strengths btw. It’s classic

16:13 Suraj just described satire 🤷🏼‍♂️

Censorship is always bad. People used to understand this simple fact

Rana likes what she sees 😆. She’d fall for the DENNIS system

Making fun of racists being stupid racists will never be outdated. You know it’s funny. It’s obvious who is the butt of the joke.

...because explaining why something is funny always just makes it funnier...

Rex is the MVP.

That KZfaq channel is real. Has a bunch of those videos and one with Kaitlin and Artemis at an audition I think and maybe another behind the scenes thing.

I dont think i ever saw anyone legit complain about this episode and the other banned ones. If anything this was a corporate decision out of fear thinking they get outrage cause of what was happening 3 years ago. Just a bunch of peope in suits that are out of touch with their products and cosumers and how they work making this decision

Rana, for the love of god, KZfaq didn’t have Live capabilities back then👀🤷‍♂️

Just chillin on a friday in 2024,remebered IASIP and wanted to watch 1 of my favorite episodes just 2 find out its a banned episode🤦🏽‍♀️thanks normies 4 this. After this Im gonna search the dvd's I burned back the...Im sure I have this season somewhere😂😂

Michael Scott's "Ping" would've fit here

5:43 rana got thirsty

The best part about the billboard is that it doesnt even say anything about Paddy's. It's only two ladies and Frank doing thumbs up.

There was a character on Mad TV called Miss Swan that was a pretty ridiculous Asian stereotype. I kinda wonder if Sunny was making fun of that character with Dee's antics.

It's not really outdated.

The best way to show streaming services you oppose banning episodes: If they do that for a given series, don't use them even for the episodes they do show. Get the whole show from where you're getting the banned episodes. Also drop them a line letting them and their parent companies know you're strongly opposed to what they've done, and the way they've gone about it (e.g., giving false episode numbers to hide the censorship).

Think it got banned somewhere around Taiwan Tammy

I was a day one viewer, and have been a fan for literally a MAJORITY of my life. These early seasons remind me of my adolescence. It's going to break my heart to see the show end, but all good things must. I just hope they go out with a bang.

Usually its a 6 month lease on a billboard. At least in the midwest it is. I did land surveying and had a few clients that had billboards on the property and 1 had to be moved bc it was on 2 different properties due to the way it was placed. Costs up to $100k depending on where the locations at.

Rana trying to hide her face at Rex. Nice try.

One thing I really like about the Normies is that they can find the humour in how awful the characters in the show are. Ik ppl in comments are complaining how they’re saying it’s outdated, but it’s pretty clear they found it hilarious from how awful it was during their reaction. Contrast this with the Blind Wave crew, and it’s telling that these guys truly get the point of the show and is why they’re enjoying it more.

Its just sad that episodes are ”banned”. Its like China or something.

Making skin darker gets things banned... anything else is fine and will not get a ban.

Broke: Man, Dee is crazy Woke: Man, Kaitlin Olsen is crazy

Man I watched this episode on tv when I was a kid lmaoo 😂

horrid take on censorship. it ALL should be uncensored and available to watch, no matter the content. its up to people to be mature and intelligent enough to be good people. personal responsibility.

Guys Tik Tok is not going to be created for 8 more years :)

5:40 to 5:50 Rana was going through some stuff in her own mind.

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

Normies clothes off pose off when???

The Texas hammer is the goat

Always Sunny doesn't make racist jokes. They make jokes about racists. A major difference that unfortunately goes over the head of far too many people.

Crazy how the Gang creates these activities each day. Gotta do something to stay busy. Paddy’s doesn’t make much money. That’s why they have Frank.

1:00 micky likes black and brown face confirmed 😂

I'm Puerto Rican and Vietnamese, and I have 0 problem with this episode. The humor is only "outdated" because people don't care about context. Anybody who's watched this show knows that the butt of the joke is always its main characters. The show's not making fun of Latinos and Asians, it's making fun of Dee and how out of touch she is. She's not shown in a positive light AT ALL, and literally gets pelted for her bad taste

Martina Martinez comes on screen, THAT’S why it got banned. Moments earlier, an orange-haired ethnic stereotype gets no reaction.

The billboard I always see when I enter Indiana is by an RV guy called Tom with a super unfortunate last name lol

I like Spidey 16:45

Outdated humor??? Dorks 😂

Dennis is Andrew tate without an internet connection plus a megaphone 😂😂😂

What I find even more hilarious than Dee's characters. Is that when it first came out, people were talking about how all three were stereotypically offensive. Now people only ever mention two of them as understanding why it was banned. That is another way to show how ridiculous society has gotten with the reasoning behind what should be censored.

Editing racism, bigotry, and other shit out of history only guarantees that these mistakes will be repeated, or worse.

13:48

A cups are good

I hate billboards, I wonder how much nicer America would look without them

They're so bent out of shape that people notice their politics lol.

Maaaan. I miss this episode. banned for the stupidest fuckin reason. Also even more of a shame because its the introduction of Rex, and so many new viewers missing that

I love this episode

These are horrible characters doing horrible things all the time. Banning this episode is like saying we're fine with everything else, but we draw the line at facepaint. The fact that it's banned is just showing how crazy reality has gotten over these last couple of years where people no longer understand that this show is obvious satire against the worst of humanity

THIS episode is banned? But I saw it on television numerous times! Including reruns on Comedy Central.

Good reaction guys! This is NOT a product of its time though. Newer Sunny gets just as offensive. The stereotype is offensive now and it was back then too, thats the entire point Dee should not be doing that skit. It isn't Kaitlynn Olson doing a racist skit its Dee, becauses she's a racist idiot. Its ok to laugh AT Dee just not with her.

the fact this is banned and some later ones using racist language arent is so strange

GREENMAN!!

Why is it OK for two black men to play white chics in a movie but a white person can't play any other race ?

so I hope this means that we are in fact getting reactions to all the banned episodes? because PLEASE you all NEED to do the Lethal Weapon episodes. They are some of the best episodes of the whole show IMO and I'm still salty about their removal. Not to mention that the first one of them also happens to be the conclusion of a two-parter episode that now remains a noticeable gap in the timeline if youre doing a streaming binge

22:30 why are CD's not mentioned here?

I just watched a movie with a bunch of brutal murders and a rape but this is banned?

I think that the person behind the sample for "My Name Is" blocked Eminem from releasing the song with homophobic lyrics, so he changed it. I am not sure exactly how it got blocked. In any case, I believe that the original version was on the single CD back then, just not on the album. Just Don't Give a F*ck* also had a line cut, as well as Kim from the Marshal Mathers LP.

Banned? I think that's a bit too much of an exaggeration. Literally all these episodes are still run on FX on occasion, and are still found on some streaming. If you want actually banned episodes, South Park 200, and 201 are actually banned by Paramount (As they don't allow them to be legally streamed or run on air) because Tom Cruise said he'd quit Mission Impossible if they were ever run again.

where is the kfiyeh Rana?!?

Banning satire is as evil as it gets

Yall are so soft lol just enjoy the episode 🤦🏻‍♂️ this channel is becoming unwatchable

support piracy

A blanket ban on every instance is such surface level thinking. This in itself is a criticism of the behavior. Typical of this country to respond to a protest for racial justice by banning episodes of a sitcom.

Martina Martinez!!

It's funny how everyone gets cringed and puckered a**holes with stuff like this.

No Navi? You guys shouldve waited for her. She makes these reactions...

this being banned is stupid, it's literally making fun of racism

React on srk jawan movie please

19:20 actually, the word is getting reclaimed as a positive thing. Among drag queens and ballroom culture, it is used as "fierce," as in "That was so cVn+!" and "Serving cVn+" means giving beauty.

I love yall but let's be real the Portland looking white chick who isnt there for this would have lost her shit just based off how she reacts to dark comedy (and there's nothing wrong with that).

I wonder why they cannot just cut those couple of scenes rather than ban the entire episode.

“You’re just too dumb to understand this is satire/afraid of appearing politically incorrect” is such a cringe take in a lot of these comments. Like the way people get overly defensive and attack the normies or anyone else that has any criticism at all over the “banned” episodes is honestly just coming across as embarrassing edgelord stuff at this point. I get that you think anything goes as long as it’s satire, but maybe some people actually feel differently and aren’t just virtue signaling fake woke crybaby liberals or too stupid to understand dark comedy. Maybe some people just don’t want to see harmful racial stereotypes/blackface anymore regardless of the context and simply find it outdated? Like it’s possible to understand the joke and just not find it funny or still find it offensive. Both opinions can be valid IMO. Also complaining about political correctness or censorship or stuff like this as getting “cancelled” is laughable. All that happened is Hulu decided to remove it from their platform. You can still find the episodes online just fine whenever you want and are literally watching it right now. It’s just not that big of a deal lol.

Omg they don't even watch the episode they just wanna make their jokes and say their references its so annoying do you guys evershut up and watch and enjoy the show jesus lol
