Comedy made today would never be made in the past. You couldn’t even curse on TV. Rick and Morty wouldn’t have existed in the 90s because of the gore. The Simpsons was considered an Adults Only show, it’s now rated PG.

What they really mean is they’re aren’t allowed to be fucking racist douchebags without people calling them out. What a bunch of snowflakes.

I’ll never understand why my parents deemed Simpsons inappropriate while NG:E was just fine

They didn’t get the intense sexual pathology in NG:E, whereas The Simpsons had some tame sex jokes they got.

It might have been the child abuse? In early seasons it was a running gag for Homer to fucking strangle Bart.

Boomer humour, folks.

Edit: Oh wait Eva had ton’s of child abuse in it too… in that case I have no idea.

I am old enough to to have physically been present when kids were being told to turn their Bart Simpson T-shirts inside out

Bullshit. Robot Chicken got made and that was full of gore.

Same with South Park. Ren & Stimpy was aired on children’s fucking television.

:shrug-outta-hecks: You got me there. They were weird with censorship back then, Ren and Stimpy somehow got aired but Southpark had to bleep curse words until later.
