minus-square@MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink18•7 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-square@negativeyoda@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink13•7 months agoEddie Murphy can be funny, but there’s a ton of homophobic and other problematic content in Raw and Delirious.
minus-square@MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink2•7 months ago(I’m unhappy because that’s bad, not because I disagree with the statement.)
minus-square@cook_pass_babtridge@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink-1•7 months agoThe first 10 mins of Delirious are difficult watching, but worth getting through for the timeless gold in the rest of it.

minus-square@graymess@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink9•7 months agoIf you want to keep happy memories, never rewatch a comedy special older than 10 years. It’s incredible how fast most jokes age.
minus-squareFlying Squidlinkfedilink6•7 months agoI think there are some big exceptions. For example- Robin Williams at the Met was an amazing show and is still extremely funny.
minus-square@MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink1•edit-27 months agoProbably true, I usually don’t rewatch anything in video format. It’s kind of a weird quirk of mine.
minus-squareTipRinglinkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-27 months agoSome are timeless, I can watch Burns and Allen routines and they are still hilarious. Topical humor is very of-its-time though.
