Roku

Posted on by


In case you don’t know, Roku is a streaming TV service similar to Netflix. It’s a cunt because of blatant woke censorship and their unwillingness to admit it. Allow me to explain.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_On_(British_TV_series)

I’m on my second go round of binge watching the ‘90s British sitcom, Game On. It’s pretty funny and starred Samantha Janus and you definitely would. However, I noticed that Series 3 started with Episode 2, not Episode 1. Comment étrange! I rebooted my Roku device and hoped for the best. That did sod all, so I contacted Roku Support and asked about the missing episode.

They started off nice enough and over several email messages back and forth asked me to do the following:

1. Reboot the device. (already did that)
2. Confirm the system and software version. (it was on the latest version)
3. Run a system update. (nothing to update)
4. Use the search function to locate Game On and send them a screen shot of the results (seriously!)
5. Delete the Roku channel and add it back again. (like that was going to do anything)

At the point where the next buffoon picked up my response and asked me to confirm the system and software version again, I knew something was afoot. I took the liberty of finding a synopsis of the missing episode and guess what I found. Here’s an excerpt:

Whilst the others are at work, Matt answers the door to an imposing woman, Tess Freeman (Evelyn Doggart), who is looking for Mandy. Matt tries it [fortune telling] on with Tess but she thinks his palm reading is nonsense, and upon seeing her large hands he gets the wrong idea and says “You’re a sex change!” which leads her to crush Matt’s genitals and tell him that she is not a transwoman.

Roku Support then followed up by saying content does expire and is removed from the channel over time. I pointed out that expiring content would be at the series level, not an individual episode level. Try again cunts. Their next attempt to avoid an honest answer was to ask if Game On is being streamed by any other channel and if so, watch it there. Unfortunately, at this time it isn’t. I’d had enough at this point and bluntly told them the only plausible explanation for the episode to be missing is Roku have made a conscious decision to not stream it and in which case why?

Their response? “We will investigate the issue and notify you once there is an update from the team”.

In other words, I’ll never hear about this again because they won’t admit the episode contains plot which might cause hurty feelings for sexual deviant freaks with mental elf issues.

Spineless cunts.

  1. It’s been 2 weeks since I last heard from Roku. No update yet. I wonder why.

    It’s the same crap that ‘Brit Box’ pulled over the Fawlty Towers episode The Germans. It’s why It Ain’t Half Hot Mum will never be seen again. Why watching Love Thy Neighbour is now a hate crime. And so on.

    • Nice one, IY.

      On the strength of the linked episode I have just ordered the complete series 1-3 on DVD.

      • RTC – He shoots, he scores! Hope you enjoy the fun. They changed the actor who played the Matthew character after series 1. Both actors did a great job.

        What’s even more bizarre about Roku being a cunt here is the gay bashing content in other episodes. I won’t give any plot away so you can enjoy it fresh, but let’s just say Matthew often uses homophobic slurs (bum bandit, shirt lifter, pillow biter, etc.). Presumably Roku’s OK with all that, but “You’re a sex change” was just too much.

        When you watch the whole of S3 E1, you’ll see that there’s really nothing else in the episode that could justify it being verboten.

        It’s got a good theme tune too. Enjoy!

      • There is no bigger issue facing us today than rampant transphobia. Homophobia is so last century. 😂

      • As an avowed transphobic, I would say that a bigger problem is the celebration of this insanity. The idea that you actually are what you pretend to be is a level of destructive madness that cannot be allowed to continue. My 11 year old will also be raised by me to be transphobic. I pray she has the courage to stand firm.

      • Meat.
        There’s hope.
        My 12 year old grand daughter thinks it’s all a load of shit. Her words.
        She’s a girl, soon to be a young woman.
        She’s beautiful and a warrior, kicking ass at ju-jitsu.
        I love her to bits.

      • My youngest is 9.
        She says that a man has a worm and a woman has a flower.
        She also understands the meaning of the alphabet people.
        But she believes there are just two genders.
        Hope she never changed that outlook.

  2. I’ve been watching Two and a Half Men on Amazon. I always enjoyed this and it really is very funny. But how long will it last due to its “sexist” jokes?

      • That’s a great point, MMCM. Maybe I should re-visit it. I think it was the kid that I found annoying and a turn off. It’s always showing on some channel over here, so it’s not hard to find.

        Sheen also did a fun movie called The Chase with Kristy Swanson. Who, at the time, was very erection worthy.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chase_(1994_film)

      • I’ll check it out. Shame that Sheen blew himself out on drugs and had to leave 2.5 men. I never watched the later shows where he doesn’t appear – although John Cryer is terrific as the nerdy Alan, its not the same without Sheen.

      • Boggs TV Enterprises are glad to assist with this 1978 episode (Good job Jim Callaghan led Labour then and not Dame Kweer). The opening “Brazil” shows the Peter Mandelson singers and dancers in fine form, and up-and-coming young comedian David Lammy gets his first gig – as a singer:

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJqqoWqD3jQ

      • It is unbelievable to think that trite crap managed to last until 1978. It looked ancient in 1962 when it was “must watch” Saturday night TV , but for some reason Saturdays always have been shit on Saturdays since they stopped Juke Box Jury

    • I’d like to see It ain’t half hot mum again but I guess there’s no chance of that if I bought a Roku.

      I think a lot of these streaming services are sh1te. I can’t remember the reason why but I was given a free four month subscription to Apple TV +. I can’t find a single thing on it I’d like to watch. Then I see adverts for Disney Plus that leave me thinking “why would anyone pay to watch that? If you flicked channels and chanced upon similar content you’d instantly press the back channel button”.

  4. Never heard of this but I see it was made between 1995-98. I imagine any comedy from that time would contain many references which would be deemed “offensive” in these enlightened and progressive times.

    And I thought Mary fucking Whitehouse was dead!

  5. Samantha Janus use to give me the horn of volcanic proportions back in the day.

  6. Just get a hold of the TOR browser and qbittorrent and literally everything is downloadable. I’ve been doing this for years and have never had any issues whatsoever. Then go to either ‘pirate bay’ for tv shows or ‘yts.mx’ for films.

    • Yes Thomas setting sail on the high seas,hoisting the Jolly Roger and telling these woke cunts to Get Fucked is a lovely feeling.

  7. Who the fuck as got the time to watch all these channels?? The are mainly repeats or total shit. So basically I couldn’t give a shit.

  8. I use Roku on all my TVs. I always thought it was just a streaming device that allows you to load any apps you want to use. What app are you using? I would think that the particular streaming service/subscription would be the one censoring and not the actual device.
    Although Roku does have it’s own free channel.

    • It’s on Roku’s own channel, MC.

      Their support did try that argument early on. “blah blah blah….content is per the channel provider blah blah blah”. They changed their tune when I pointed out it was THEIR channel that has the issue. Cunts.

      • I see. I guess that does make sense. Looks like they are the cunt you say they are. I’ll keep my eye out for censoring of Magnum PI and Leave it to Beaver as I make way way through those series.
        Thanks!

  10. They did the same with the Black & White Minstrel Show. Can`t get a single episode. Good, clean, wholesome family entertainments.

  11. I do remember this from my teenage years. It must have been on around the same time as This Life, also on BBC 2.

  13. Tv shows that are dead are best left that way.

    I remember having a firm root as a youth for Emma Wray in the tv sitcom ‘Watching’.

    This is at the moment being rerun on Forces tv.

    So imagine my excitement as I drew the blinds,
    Dimmed the lights,
    And greased my weasel into semi glory with some lard.

    Nipples like bullets I had to hold myself back from bolting before the gate was open!!

    So when Emma came on tv to be a wirehaired flatchested whining scouse hag my heart was broken
    And my winky flaccid.☹️

    Couldn’t even take option B
    Jimmy Tarbucks fat daughter Lisa.

    I should write and complain.
    What a fuckin swizz.

    • At least you are indulging in your debauchery at Chez Miserable and not in the bushes at the back of Big Baps cafe.

      • Too rich for my blood LL.
        I like good wholesome debauchery not that rainbow flag men are women style debauchery.
        Big baps is a family restaurant and should be treated as such.

  14. When a streaming channel starts deciding what I should/shouldn’t view is the day I stop using them.
    You’re not my Mum & I’m not a child. I’m perfectly capable of deciding if something is offensive, in the privacy of my own home.
    And that’s the point!
    We’re not projecting these shows onto a giant screen with thousands watching.

    • No, everything, every idea must be controlled. You must be protected from wrongthink and wrongspeak. It’s for your own good, you know it makes sense. We want…….misinformation……..misinformation…….misinformation…..

      Every day I am shocked that this site is still up and running. It’s very very bad.

      • No shit Freddie! I am thankful for every day I get to vent on this hallowed site. I may find out that every word has been kept and will be shown to me on a printout right before the box full of rats is placed over my head.

      • https://www.aol.co.uk/news/prince-william-could-gone-further-093525660.html

        Starmer has had the temerity to criticize Prince William because he rode in a 1953 Land Rover (I believe there was a little thing called a Coronation in 1953 and the longest reigning Monarch is still on the throne), and his fetish about slavery kicked in?

        This man apart from being a total arsehole is mad. Working men (and women) are concerned about rising food and energy prices, short term employment and the possibility of the 3rd world war, not bumfuckery, trannyism or slavery, which nobody living today had any part in (apart from few London based Middle Easterners who have rightly gone to prison for it.

      • @ W C Boggs (“This man apart from being a total arsehole is mad.

        Hear fucking hear. Politicians and the perpetually offended live in their own delusional vacuum.

  15. I’ve got Roku. Great device, but absolute garbage films on Roku channel.
    I only tend to watch either films or science & nature, so I’ll be on the lookout for missing content, like two lions bullying a tranny hyena.

    • They are neat devices for sure, Cuntington. It’s just a pity that their content is full of bastard ads. I hate that. I get that Roku, Plex and Filmrise Mysteries, etc. are ‘free’, but the ads make them almost unwatchable.

      Plus no thought is given to when the breaks appear. They’ll be a very tense scene going on in a movie, building tension and adding plot. Some character is mid sentence then bam! Ad break! Cunts.

      I subscribe to Sling for streaming telly, so there’s a monthly subscription involved. And what do I get with that service? Fucking ads!!!

  16. It reminds me of the BBC omitting an episode of High Hopes from the boxset on Iplayer as it was deemed to be taking the piss out of the Gays, thankfully they haven’t edited out Life on Mars …………yet?

    editing the great TV series of the past is a cunt, they should send the Fresh cunt of Belair out and give them all a sissy slap, bunch of cunts!!!!

  17. Who the fuck applies for a job to watch old tv episodes and judge their fitness for broadcast?
    I’ll decide what I want to watch thank you very much. Not some cunt with a degree in being kind to hurty feeling tossers that make up the smallest of minorities everywhere.

    • That’s a great point, ACM. One thing that computers haven’t taken over yet – the ability to watch yesteryear telly looking for hurty scenes and words.

      What do the cunts who do that put on their CVs I wonder?

      • Long live the Interwebbythingnetstockings…. Oops fetish reveal alert 😁

  18. Loved game on when it was on in the 90s, and it held up when I watched it recently on Dave or some such channel. Trans joke was included.😀

  19. Theyve cancelled loads of great old family favourites from yesteryear.

    Klan about the house

    Mental Mickey

    Pork and Mindy

    At home with the Hitler’s

    The Idi Amin royal variety performance

    Race baiting with John Noakes and Shep.

    All great and never to be seen again.

  20. My point is that we watch this in our homes.
    We can decide if its OK or not.
    I don’t want some vegan yoghurt slurrping, tofu knitting idiot deciding what I want to watch in my own home.
    That’s a step too far, that really is interfering with my right to view what I want.

    • Precisely right, JP. I may be an old school cunt, but I still buy DVDs and Blu-rays while I still can because you cannot rely on streaming. At what point will your fave telly get cancelled or edited to the extent it’s unwatchable. Call me paranoid, but I think DVDs of old shows on sale in the years to come will be highly edited. So I’m grabbing ’em now.

      I suppose in years to come I’ll be arrested for owning such depraved filth and be sent away for trans-bumder sensitivity training.

  21. Maybe Blockbuster could re-invent themselves by offering none-woke vids, there’s clearly a market

  22. Glad ive kept my collection of DVDs with streaming services trying to erase ‘unfashionable’ episodes. The first instance of this sort of meddling i heard about was Disney trying to hide Song of the South.

    As for Game On, a definite must for a fourteen-year old Cuntamus.

  23. I noticed a similar thing with a missing episode of the Professionals a few years ago which was about dark keys getting abused. Glad I have it on a memory stick.

  24. Loved Game On back in the day first series especially
    The episode where Matt joined the band upstairs and wrote a song for them. Lyrical genius
    They don’t write songs like this anymore.
    I wanna shag
    Cos that’s my bag
    Don’t be a drag
    I don’t wanna suck it
    So let’s have your bucket
    Blag, knob, swivel-dick, love pump, tally-whacker
    Shag, blag blag blag. Bonk bonk shag shag
    Skunk pussy right now
    They don’t write songs like this anymore
    They have all 3 series on Brit box if anyone is interested. Classic

      • Imagine broadcasting that now ? You’d probably wipe out a large percentage of the Woke population, ( strokes, heart attacks, etc. )
        Do it.
        Evening, MNC.

      • Heehee 😀
        I was that offended I slapped Chris Rock.

        Evening Jack👍

  29. I remember loving Game on back when I was 14.
    Surprised they haven’t dubbed over all the episodes where Matt uses the term ‘arse bandits’.

    There were some great programmes back then.

    I used to like Coupling which was on around 2001.
