Laughter can be not only the best medicine, as the saying goes, but sometimes it can also be a crime. Not too long ago, there was a scandal surrounding Seth Rogen's The Interview, in which American heroes travel to North Korea to destroy the president. The Sony studio was hacked and threatened, and American theaters boycotted the film. But despite this, it was released both in limited box office and on the Internet, becoming one of the company's most successful digital releases. "Titer" recalls seven more comedies that can be watched far from every country.

4. The Simpsons Movie

Of course, The Simpsons is a rather bold cartoon and should be released in theaters with an age limit, but it would seem that there is no reason to ban it. The Burmese censors thought otherwise and banned the film because it had too many bright yellows and reds.

6. "No Laden"

A Bollywood masterpiece in which the main character bears a slight resemblance to one of the most notorious terrorists. The film was banned in Pakistan in 2010, and the irony is that this is where the terrorist was hiding at that time.
