Outrage after Netflix pulls comedy show criticising Saudi Arabia

Why are people so upset about this? We watched it, it was hilarious!

Being rude and lier isn't comedy at all

How to be famous, insult other people.... Democracy ended......

Honestly i didnt watch it. I tried bit it was so boring i shut it off. I like Russel Peters

The show was full of racism Well done Netflix 👍

hasanminhaj Just another second generation immigrant to the west begging acceptance by jumping on the anti-Saudi bandwagon.This show exposed his own insecurities and fears more than anything else,wasn’t funny even.

Why I haven’t seen outrage yet against oppressing Saudi accounts on Twitter when they defended KSA abd MbS?! Is the freedom of speech right exclusive to the rude creatures who use hate speech to call for wars, cut ties, and promote terrorism to tear countries apart?!

Since beginning of JK’s case, Twitter& media collaberated to shut down the voice of Saudi ppl who were defending their country/leaders& exposed fake news! None of Qatari paid human right organizations were outraged for silencing our right to speak up! why?

BIG DEAL.

We are outrage over his rudeness insults and bad harassment This is totally unacceptable We welcome criticism and comedy But not like this!!! Totally rude cunning person are not welcome

Well, Saudi Arabia respects all religions and customs but does not accept mockery or racism and also respects freedom of expression in all spheres

So the whole world will obviously become prisoners of the budding Dictators then? A really bad move by the still FreeWorld Freedom

What netflix is saying is that America is up for sale for the highest bidder. They have no moral compass. All they care for is money.

stopwatchingnetflix

hasanminhaj yet another mediocre performer trying to build his career around bashing SaudiArabia,KarenAttiah would be another one.

What ?!!😡

Isn’t Netflix share owned by Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal bin Abdulaziz who was arrested at Ritz for the longest time? And now his brother has been arrested after their father died?

informedvoting BarackObama MichelleObama perhaps a word with netflix on why this is an outrageous move

Fk the Saudi royals. That episode was so on point. MBS needs to keep feeling the heat.

informedvoting netflix such a punk ass move...

I’ve been a long time subscriber to netflix but it may be time to reassess my subscription, given that netflix is now caving into the authoritarian government thugs of SA.

saf107 madness

Does Saudi own a piece of Netlfix share? MoneyTalks Saudi is bribing whole world with their oil money

This is ridiculous! hasanminhaj did a great and in depth episode about Saudi Arabia. I cannot believe netflix pulled it 🤦🏻‍♀️

Netflix is the best. The great Saudi

When Netflix will pulls zionists' propaganda 'Fauda'? netflix

RubaAlHassani I bet it can still be found on CouchTuner, Cuevana, Popcorn Time, and many others. Joke's on Netflix.

No outrage fake news

ITS A COMMERCIAL COMPANY SO CAN DO AS IT CHOOSES UNLIKE BBC WHO ARE PUBLIC FUNDED AND DO NOT GIVE A TOSS WHAT PUBLIC THINK AS LONG AS GOVERNMENT ARE “LOOKED AFTER” THEY WILL GET LOOKED AFTER WHEN TV TAX COMES ROUND TO INCREASE TIME

I hope Netflix at least has a placeholder saying the episode exists but has been removed at Saudi government request.

Shame on Netflix

I guess I gotta cancel my Netflix account! Damn it! Frankie n grace we’re funny

.

Great show. Watched it on Reddit. Lol. It was so honest and funny he will have to watch his back now.

I'm assuming this only affects Netflix programming in Saudi Arabia. Otherwise, it would be extremely stupid of Netflix to allow the Saudis to tell them what to do in any other country, because we all might just drop Netflix!

Totally outrageous that people are condemning Netflix They are just an entertainment business not a govt providing security of life. It's Hasanminhaj who deserves to be condemned for courting misfortune. Very reckless and condemnable. It also jeopardises multibillion$ deals.

Yes no surprises here KSA very sensitive let's just say also very persuasive, they do what they like everyone else has to tow the line according to what suits them

Hasanminhaj is crazy if he thinks his US passport is going to save him. His hide could worth a few billion dollars in arms deals. He doesn't know what's hes walking into. Those brown kebabs he can deliver would be extremely welcome to some pet dogs!

Pulling stuff for being critical of something? Outrageous. Unless, of course....

Why does everyone insist on kissing ass to the Saudis? Its not like they have a lot of friends right now and there are other sources of oil.

Netflix ... total cop-out! I’ve been looking for a good reason to cancel my Netflix subscription. This is it!

Shame on you netflix NetflixFilm NetflixUK i am aware this technically only affects netflixsaudi but your company as a whole has made a foolish decision. The law or clause cited by the saudi regime is laughable and does in no way relate at all to the obvious comedic comments

Putting the BS in MBS MBS___Mohammad_Bone_Saw

Totally understandable. Especially if you know there is going to be deals made upon your death worth billions and you got no body worth burial either!

Way to plump for brutality, Netflix.

The Saudi Royal family leads a corrupt, brutal regime. They deserve the scorn of the west, not to be coddled. They are responsible for the brazen murder of a washingtonpost journalist & genocide. netflix Kashoggi Yemen

Good one netflix. They threaten to sue and u got scared.

Not allowed to be rude to our overlords.

Netflix is afraid of the Bone Saw horror sequel.

Netflix is one of the leftist global media. They need to protect backers

Member that time those Saudi Princes funded 9/11 and the new Crown Prince imprisoned them a week after Trump left Saudi Arabia? Then after that the media all of the sudden hated Saudi Arabia.

Knew this guy will get into trouble someday. Always walking on troubled waters 😂

Hasan Minhaj did a great job on the Saudi Arabia piece, I can't believe Netflix pulled it.

So Saudi money now controls netflix ? Ridiculous. Time for PrimeVideo to step up and take the baton. reedhastings JeffBezos

Not surprised but definitely ashamed
