minus-squareMeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up18·6 months agoRobin Williams, Eddie Murphy, and Jim Carrey all seemed like they had really good specials. I haven’t watched them in a long time, but I don’t recall them being edge lords. I’m sure there have to be others.
minus-squarenegativeyoda@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up17arrow-down4·6 months agoEddie Murphy can be funny, but there’s a ton of homophobic and other problematic content in Raw and Delirious.

minus-squareTipRing@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-26 months agoSome are timeless, I can watch Burns and Allen routines and they are still hilarious. Topical humor is very of-its-time though.
