David Cross: Netflix pulled a W/ Bob & David sketch making fun of blackface

Twitter

"Hey all, Netflix is going to pull this sketch from With Bob & David because the ridiculous, foolish character I play puts on 'black face' at one point," Cross tweeted of the 2015 "Know Your Rights" sketch with Keegan-Michael Key that was later removed from YouTube but can be found here. "The point of this was to underscore the absurdity...well, here's your last chance to figure it out." W/ Bob & David is apparently the latest show to be part of the racial reckoning brought on by the killing of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter protests. Netflix has yet to comment. Co-star Bob Odenkirk later tweeted: "we considered every choice we made doing our show, and always aimed to make you laugh and think, and never make an obvious or easy point...that very much includes this sketch.  Our comedy is always about the human element, never about making a political point."
