minus-squareMeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up18·6 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-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·6 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-squareMeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-26 months agoProbably true, I usually don’t rewatch anything in video format. It’s kind of a weird quirk of mine.
minus-squareTipRing@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-26 months agoSome are timeless, I can watch Burns and Allen routines and they are still hilarious. Topical humor is very of-its-time though.
