      ZERO chance. It's gone. Even the title of this video is incorrect, it isn't 'offensive'. Making fun of something isn't offensive just because it appertains to a nationality or race. This is the point missed by so many, and why comedy is dead, now. And even if some find it offensive, it doesn't actually make it offensive...only to those people. If I make a joke about paedophilla to a room of 100 people, and 99 of them are offended, it's still not offensive. If it isn't universal then it cannot be. I regularly exercise what I have to (on here) call the 'N' word. It is offensive to some black people, but not all, clearly, as many of them use it. So it cannot be an 'offensive' word. I should point out that I only use the word when talking about the word itself, I don't use it as a term of abuse.
