talk to Irish TimesAtkinson said that the opportunity to get hurt should not be denied, arguing that comedy is sometimes the primary purpose of getting hurt.

“It seems to me that the comedy business will hurt or hurt and you can’t remove that potential” Johnny English said the player. “In a well-organized free society, you should be allowed to joke about absolutely anything.”

Atkinson went on to describe tragedy and comedy as “very close friends and one cannot exist without the other.”

“Every joke has a victim, fictional or nonfiction, imaginary, ideological or human, so when there’s a joke there’s always pain,” he said. “I think you have to admit it is.

In 2021, Atkinson vehemently opposed cancellation culture, comparing it to “the digital equivalent of a medieval mob roaming the streets looking for something to burn.”

“Our problem with the Internet is that the algorithm decides what we want to see and as a result creates a simplified, binary view of society,” Atkinson told the Radio Times in Britain. “Even if you are on our side, lawsuits will be filed against us. And if you are against us, you should be “cancelled”.

“It’s important that we are subject to a wide spectrum of opinions, but what we have right now is the digital equivalent of a medieval mob roaming the streets looking for someone to burn,” Atkinson said. “It’s very scary for anyone who is a victim of this mob and it fills me with fear for the future.”

Rowan Atkinson also defended British Prime Minister Boris Johnson after he joked about women wearing hijab in 2018.

“As a lifetime enjoyer of the freedom to joke about religion, I think Boris Johnson’s joke about veiled-looking mailboxes is pretty good,” the comedian said.
