Meh... 
There was a sitcom that was shown on Sky TV in 1990 called 'Heil Honey, I'm Home.' Its premise was that Adolf Hitler & his wife moved into a generic German neighbourhood, only to discover that they had moved in next to a Jewish family. This was a genuine pitch for a TV show and only 1 episode was ever shown, due to the huge wave of complaints from viewers & critics.

That's the best I can come up with.

How about an advert - it was for a music album - top of the pop sort ogf thing and the promotors-actors were all of asian descent, holding up the album and saying how good it was, then right at the end the catch phrase was 'why dont you NIP out and buy one' - tsk tsk not nice... lasted a few showings then was removed for being in bad taste.

That... doesn't honestly sound half bad. It seems like a pretty unique thing, and the fact the show DIDN'T have a laugh track already places it above most american sitcoms.
