JERRY SPRINGER: THE OPERA

With its irreverent treatment of religion, the musical was picketed by Christian groups in the US and UK, and the BBC's TV screening in 2005 was one of the most controversial British television programmes ever.

MONTY PYTHON'S LIFE OF BRIAN

The Monty Python team's story about a young man mistaken for the Messiah sparked accusations of blasphemy. It was banned in Ireland, and by towns in the UK that didn't even have cinemas!

LENNY BRUCE'S OBSCENITY TRIAL

Pioneering stand-up Lenny Bruce did two 1964 appearances in Greenwich Village that resulted in a  widely-publicised six-month obscenity trial that found him guilty.

 BRAND AND ROSS PRANK CALLS ROW

 Brand and Ross' pranks calls to former Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs (with explicit references to Brand having slept with Sachs' grand-daughter) eclipsed news of the global financial meltdown and the US Presidential election.

THE BRASS EYE SPECIAL

Satirist Chris Morris found himself at the centre of a furore after a 2001 broadcast tackling media treatment of paedophilia. He duped numerous celebrities (Gary Lineker, Phil Collins) into spouting nonsense on a topic about which they knew nothing.

BORAT

Sacha Baron Cohen's hit comedy controversially lampooned Kazakhstan and is banned in all Arab countries (except Lebanon). The character of Borat was denounced for being racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic. They didn't like it in Russia either.

BILL HICKS DROPPED FROM LETTERMAN 

In 1993, Bill Hicks recorded a tv performance for David Letterman that was dropped due to Hicks' references to religion. Earlier this year, Letterman played the recording in full and apologised to Bill's Mom.

ANDREW DICE CLAY BANNED BY MTV

The homophobia and sexism in Dice Clay's sketches led to him being banned by MTV. When he hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live in 1990, the show was boycotted by Sinéad O'Connor.

DEREK AND CLIVE

AKA Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, the duo's outpourings on albums and a film, were riddled with profanities and vulgarity. Sample: Clive claimed that his worst job was retrieving lobsters from Jayne Mansfield's arsehole.

JERRY SADOWITZ

Magician-comic Jerry Sadowtiz was possibly the sickest puppy on the comedy block, focusing extensively on disasters and tragedies.  He also wore a giant phallus with which he sprayed the audience.
