    Early 2000s entertainment too. A good portion of the edgy jokes could be considered funny because they were made on the assumption that “We can laugh about this, because we all know racism and sexism is bad, right?”.

    And then 2015ish happened and it became obvious that a lot of people weren’t laughing AT the -isms but rather WITH.

    EDIT: Which slur did Ross use, BTW? I haven’t watched that show in eons, and I don’t remember any.

      haven’t seen friends but as someone familiar with the zeitgeist it’s almost certainly “retarded”

      which was also all over adult swim at the time and is recently having its renaissance

        I’ve noticed that lately. It went from being everywhere to nowhere and now it’s creeping back up. I’ll be honest here, I miss the word but if it’s hurting that many people who haven’t done anything then you’re a fucking piece of shit if you use it.

        I was rooting for the “gay” renaissance where people talked about how gay everything was but changed it to mean awesome instead of shitty.

          Yeah that this is just how millennials talked in high school and we’re entering into that “old person stops caring” phase of life about now?

            Absolutely. I’m still rooting for it but it seems to be kind of petering out here.

      Round of applause to Deep Space 9 for holding up after all these years, half that station was bi at the very least.

        The alternate universe on that show was the horniest thing in TV for decades.

            Never heard of this before. Google tells me it was only available in the US on Showtime and later the SciFi channel, neither of which I had access to.

              it’s on YouTube for free

              https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZVMGCh7sZUjUiCdLnH2koZbTpTM5wp9m

              Season 2 is peak Lexx

              It’s one of my favorite tv shows.

              It was even licensed and translated for broadcast in other countries, but I concur that Lexx is a bit obscure one

                Lexx was a British-German-Canadian production.
