    And let’s not forget about the guy who made the Seinfeld show what it was had an amazing run with his own show Curb your enthusiasm.

    Not quite as spicy as Always Sunny but certainly had more punch that Seinfeld.

    The common thread is it is hilarious to make the terrible people the butts of the jokes, not the minorities. It also helps running with some aspects as a joke (Mack’s closeted gay in Sunny) and having them pay out emotionaly.

    Being gay is not the joke like before “PC”, the repression of it, the forced toxic masculinity is. But I guess that’s a bit harder than kicking down so some conservative comedies are just crying they can’t just do it like before.

    Since when was comedy, especially edgy comedy, about doing the same thing as before? What happened to pushing the envelope?

    Who wants the hear the same tired old jokes? Innovate or make space for new voices.
