minus-squareMeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up18·2 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-down4·2 months agoEddie Murphy can be funny, but there’s a ton of homophobic and other problematic content in Raw and Delirious.

minus-squarecook_pass_babtridge@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down3·2 months agoThe first 10 mins of Delirious are difficult watching, but worth getting through for the timeless gold in the rest of it.

minus-squaregraymess@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·2 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 Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·2 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-squareTipRing@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-22 months agoSome are timeless, I can watch Burns and Allen routines and they are still hilarious. Topical humor is very of-its-time though.
minus-squareMeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-22 months agoProbably true, I usually don’t rewatch anything in video format. It’s kind of a weird quirk of mine.
