Oscars presenter Kumail Nanjiani blasted for horrific Holocaust joke: ‘Do not invite him back’

Oscars presenter Kumail Nanjiani sparked fury at the star-studded event on Sunday with a tasteless joke about Schindler’s List.

The comedian made the comment while on stage presenting a tie win for Best Live Action Short Film at the star studded event.

Much to the dismay of the audience, and those watching at home, Nanjiani swapped Schindler’s List for ‘Schindler Post It’ when he attempted a gag about movie titles being shorter.

He said: ‘There is a real art to making a short film. I think many full-length movies would do just as well, if not better, as short films.

‘We should take some of these feature films, remake them as shorts. Save us some time.’

He then went on to rename several famous films to shorter titles, changing It’s A Wonderful Life to It’s A Wonderful Month, and The King’s Speech to The King’s Tweet.

He added: ‘Schindler’s Post-It’ to the end of his list.

The 1993 film directed by Steven Spielberg is based on the story of Oskar Schindler, portrayed by Liam Neeson, who saved 1,200 Jews from the Nazis.

Not only did it fail to raise laughs in the room, but viewers were disgusted – airing their thoughts about it online.

‘Can’t say that Schindler’s List joke was uh in any good taste,’ said one viewer.

Another added: ‘A list isn’t a form of stationery, so ‘Schindler’s post-it’ doesn’t make any sense. bad joke.’
