It kind of irks me that the studio films still have to be so safe even though they don't really cost as much to make.
The only movies I saw till I was 17 were made by Disney. My parents had this thing. Disney was like, you know, "Ford is a good car. Disney makes good movies that are good for kids and safe."
There has been an obvious effort to play it safe, to make 'Bonanza' a good family show that would offend no one and hit a consistent level of mediocrity.
One should not associate with controversy; one should always reach for the highest ratings; one should never forget that there is safety in numbers; one should always remember that comedy, adventure, and escapism provide the best atmosphere for selling.
You know, we were worried that in the UK, there's no anarchy on kids TV. When we grew up kids TV was very anarchic and it was about stuff that your parents would probably object to, if they got to object. And it's gotten very safe.
So I do make a real effort that all of my videos are things that, if I had kids, I wouldn't mind them watching.
I feel like I've got really good rapport with parents. They always say I'm a YouTuber they can feel safe just letting their kids watch.
TV never takes any chances; they never do anything different.
My stand-up is clean; it's not too edgy. I've played it safe since the beginning.
