      Yeah, things were so much less politically correct in- *checks notes* 2005.

      What the fuck are you talking about?

          People still laugh at themselves now. People still recognize absurdity for what it is. Go watch a show like Abbott Elementary.

            I have seen that show, and it was good, but alao focused to meet network standards that evolve glacially.

            Its not standup.

              Sorry… you think shows in 2005 weren’t focused? Really? I don’t know what golden age of comedy you think 2005 was, but it wasn’t one.

                Chapelle Show, Its Always Sunny, several others from this very thread. Yes golden comedy was happening in 2005.

                Even the Bill Burr Philly Rant is from 2006.

                Good shit.

                Edit: and Tough Crowd had just ended. Sadly.

                  This really sounds like you just don’t like comedy of today. Because it’s moved on without you. Sorry, grandpa.

                    That’s quite the hollow argument. To first deny that comedy changed and then state that it’s just moved on to something they don’t like and then insult them for it. I think you’re really undermining your own argument by conflating the evolution of comedy with the tendency to clean it up because we are no longer supposed to offend anyone while handing out participation trophies.

                    You’re free to deny this is happening, but maybe you’re just too young to notice it, kiddo.

        That’s because it already has a huge following. I’m saying if that season one debuted now it would. Just like tropic Thunder hasn’t been pulled but I doubt they’d let it today

        edit: so all the downvotes imply you all say that a white guy in black face can air today? yea no way, y’all trippin hive mind shit. I’d love to see someone try lol

              And what could air when Tropic Thunder came out had absolutely changed from the 10 years before that, the times change, who knew

                That’s always the last bastion of people arguing against it happening. Throwing up their hands and saying “things change”.

                Wow, what an insightful addition to the discussion you absolute dingus. Nobody is denying that things change, what is argued is that the overly woke mindset has a negative effect on said evolution. Maybe next year when your favourite orange man gets back in the office, we’ll just throw up our hands and say that things change without asking the question why we got there, sound like a plan to you? Or do you think that sometimes it might be a good idea to reflect on why we end up where we do?

                A dislike for conservatism does not mean that every change is progress, you know.

          I really don’t know, you may be right. I feel like that whole season was them tackling tough to swallow social issues by making themselves idiots at best or bigots at worst, but the satire and irony was clear in their intent to expose as as an outdated way to think.
