Oh Christ, you guys blew it. You put Humphrey Bogart, who I think is average in place of Gregory Peck who is one of the most gorgeous men who ever lived. Don't you guys proof your videos?
Normally I wouldn't find any of these offensive and truthfully I don't, but when viewed through the lens of modernity which is heavily colored by identity politics and today's extreme leftist sociopolitical ideology, there are quite a few jokes and setups/scenarios that could very well be seen as sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, and fatphobic by those who tout a particular narrative... The most common "offenses" here being racism and fatphobia respectively based on my observations, followed closely by a bit of sexism. Would I agree with the outrage in any case? Absolutely not. I for one actually possess a sense of humor as well as a butthole capable of actually freely releasing a fart on occasion. I find that whole kind of consistently obsessive need for victimhood to be entirely absurd and nothing more than a bunch of poorly veiled narcissism at best. It's utterly tiresome and ultimately incredibly damaging to the overall fabric of society, especially when it comes to our use of language and how this constant exposure to manufactured outrage causes words to lose their true meaning and greater contextual gravity over time. For example the word "trauma" is thrown around so often these days in reference to such insignificant struggles and minor inconveniences that it no longer holds the more powerful implications that it once did. We've begun to change the meaning of words like "assault" and phrases like "acts of violence" which have historically been used to refer to criminal acts to include mere 'mean words' and offensive speech. We've begun to shift the meaning of something as heinous as "sexual assault" - which has otherwise exclusively been used in reference to certain forms of non-consentual *physical* contact - to include harmless non-physical acts such as "leering" (which is merely looking at someone for an uncomfortable amount of time). These are just a few examples but the point is that these are clear signs of some very concerning trends within our culture indicating that we are beginning to travel down a very dangerous path indeed, and that something has just got to give before we reach a point from which there is no return. This issue is an insidious one because it masks itself as something relatively innocuous in the grand scheme of things while simultaneously having deeply reverberating effects and far-reaching implications throughout all of western society.
On Disney+ when I would watch some episodes they would always be some text at the beginning of the same thing. These jokes were wrong then and they were wrong now.
Eh, I don't think the "midget" comment was a joke. The term just wasn't as derogatory back then as it is now. But most of the jokes here are pretty good, especially the bodybuilder-reality one. Thanks for compiling them! I didn't watch much of this show as a kid, so it's nice to see the good stuff.
I think most of these jokes would pass today honestly. The one about uncle Mary, the one with Miss Finster riding the sweeper, and the running gag about all the kindergarteners being a bunch of unruly tribal savages would definitely ruffle some feathers. Also I’m sure some people would get butthurt about all the jabs at communism.
