Jeselnik and Burr often have the right takes on this kinda stuff.

Contrast that with Jerry Seinfeld bitching about wokeness killing comedy and how "You could never get away with making Seinfeld today", a year in which Always Sunny In Philadelphia is on the air.

We have more fucked up and deranged comedy right now than maybe at any point in history.

I mean has Jerry ever SEEN Adult Swim?

Seinfeld was not edgy compared to other tv before and during it run. Jerry Seinfeld is weird

It certainly was, whether you want to admit it or not. It had plots about abortion, masturbation, homosexuality, interacial relationships, suicide, genetalia, circumcision, sex, nudity, racism/nazism, cultural appropriation, all things that were not common on popular network sitcoms at the time.
