Why Benny Hill Show might be annoying:

Most of the sketches involved Benny leering at busty women.
Feminist groups accused the show of being sexist.
Its jazzy theme song, ‘Yakety Sax,' is extremely catchy.
The last few minutes always ended with Benny being chased by an angry mob.
The way Benny kept slapping the bald head of that poor old guy.

Why Benny Hill Show might not be annoying:

It featured ‘Hill's Angels,' a group of scantily-clad chicks who danced to go-go music.
It made fun of the rich and powerful.
The female characters in Benny's skits usually got the better of him.
Kids didn't need sex ed in school; they could just watch Benny once a week.
It rebelled against political correctness.
Benny would go to great lengths for a laugh, including dressing up in drag and being punched by half-naked women.
