Literally no one thinks the Thatcher spitting image puppet was bad, it was spot on

[davidfinley]

Surprised you can narrate a video through all of the cotton wool you must be wrapped in!?

[spacejam]

The only problem with this list is that WatchMojo UK has no sense of humour. Shut up WatchMojo UK.

[GRH_Roadhouse]

The voice-over guy must be fun at parties 🙄
Roadhouse

[grunkledan]

Jeez, this is a miserable list. For anyone not from the UK watching this, know that not all us Brits are without a sense of humour.

[Puppy]

This guy is such a prat, NONE of this has aged badly and please CUT THE CHAT DOWN!

[ishirutaekakura]

None of them aged badly though, they were taking the piss out of the person they were doing impressions of.

Bo selecta is not blackface, it's someone wearing a mask doing an over the top impression

[frankbrodie]

"Parody-ing the royal family.."
Well that particular activity certainly aged badly. These days the royal family do that themselves. No need for outside help.

[franklingoodwin]

I'm from London and Thatcher is known as the "milk snatcher" here too. I think it's pretty much universal unless you're a Tory voter.

[Monika-cdfi]

Fun fact: Leigh Francis said in a podcast that because of the low budget for Bo Selecta, they went to the joke shop to buy some masks for around £10. They cut off the eyes/top part made necessary holes.
Craig David - Bill Clinton mask
Mel B - Prince Charles

How was Mel B not offended but Craig David was?
Offended and offensive are 2 very different things.

[ArrowValley]

Maybe offensive if you have no sense of honour I guess.

[SirAsdf]

"Resigning when their approval ratings tanked" is also a good way to describe just about every prime minister of the last 20 years.

[ishirutaekakura]

By the way, Craig David had been on Bo Selecta, he didn't seem so "offended" then.

[redpiller]

That girls school joke was less of a hint, more of a blatant admission.

[BoeingBonkers]

I disagree with watchmojoUK on a lot of these, in fact, most of them. It makes us brits look like we have no sense of humour! 🙄

[liambarker]

Absolutely nothing racist about the Craig David "impression" in Bo Selecta.

[georgehenry]

You really are scraping the barrel with this so called list

[internet.doctor]

People are too soft these days, everyone seems to be offended about something. Bo selector was great stuff.

As an American, I know very few of these celebrities, but none of these look funny. Reinforces the stereotype that the British have no sense of humor. Elijah Wood has no reputation whatsoever for being funny here, by the way. He is just an actor
