A proper roast wouldn't be your cup of tea, then. I wouldn't say she has issues. Her style of comedy was considered classic entertainment during an era when female-to-female aggression was considered great comedy. Recent generations weren't exposed to roasts like others were so, especially when they were more popular during the late 90s, early 00s', so I don't think as many remember it now because it's been memory-holed somewhat to try to appeal to current "norms"  It was overdone because there's only so many jokes one can make about appearances and surface-level humor, so I remember mid to late 00's were comparatively tame, especially as newer generations became more self-conscious with the addition of influencer-style social media... we didn't have to bear through that, thank God.
A comment like that that isn't acceptable now would still be hilarious to some. But if we went back several generations before that, people were more uptight and avoided overt rudeness at all costs. Language was more polite and more considerately used. So it varies, I think, between generations. In a few years, your own tastes may not really shift very much, but the world around you will certainly change in how they speak and relate to one another, because humor is a lot like language, it shifts with the times. So we pretty much can't take anything for granted. It'll get annoying when the next generation is telling you to loosen up. Our parents went through that period with us and probably find it funny now that we're now suffering through the same complaints they once did. |
What is this filthy word?
I haven't seen this "humor" that you're on about in society.
Being serious though, do the younger side of Gen Z for example even know how to be genuinely funny?
Or what Comedy even is?
