The trick isn't to offend any one or two groups, that would come off as racist and sexist. No, you need to offend ALL of them. If you're equally offensive to all groups then you're really just offensive for the sake of humor.

Thing is, You can tell between good clean humor and pc humor. Clean humor can still be funny if it’s clever enough, which it often is. Pc humor is too censored and because the comedian is trying so hard not to sound offensive, the end result is a confusing mesh of words that no one is gonna understand on the first hearing.
Isn't it hard being a white man nowadays? So many non-people trying to steal the rights our founding fathers fought for. Without those God-given destiny-manifested massacres, white people would surely be the minority in this country.
Remember everyone, every joke. Every. Joke. Makes fun of someone or something. The only difference between kid friendly jokes and offensive jokes is kid friendly jokes make fun of a socially accepted laughing stock, and offensive jokes make fun of the groups society deems protected.
Well considering the garbage today, kid friendly jokes consist of "accepting everyone for who they are", " painful amounts of equality", "memes", and "anime appropriati- I mean appreciation"
I guess if every joke. Every. Joke. Making fun of someone or something is defined as deriving humor from that person or thing being the subject of a joke, that's probably true, but if you mean that every joke. Every. Joke. Is insulting to its subject or the teller or audience of the joke, then I don't think that's true. Your use of 'laughing stock' for the kid friendly jokes makes me think you mean the latter option. "Why don’t monkeys play cards in the jungle? There are too many cheetahs!" Who or what is that joke making fun of? Monkeys? Cheetahs? People who cheat at cards? People who are too scared to play cards because of cheaters? The audience for not getting the answer immediately? I think it's just wordplay, with no target under attack. But this joke does fall into the subset of every joke. Every. Joke.

Because they weren't, pc comedy was a thing back in the day, and it was always a debate about whenever it should be clean or offensive. It would be more prophetic if it showed everthing being PC, not just stand up comedians, which again, already existed.

"Audiences are stupid you gatta make them like the right things." Sounds like the thought process of Hollywood nowadays

Holy crap, no wonder he sounds familiar!

One of those stand out 90s voices you'll never forget. Though it is EXTREMELY unfortunate as to what's happened to him nowadays.

Don't forget, the people making this lived where the media was based, the media being the ones who spread this. They had all the ins.
Truth be told, this was going on at the time when the writers made this show, some of it happened before... Truthfully Duckman is a timeless work.
Tim Curry is a treasure, and I love it when he plays the villain ^_^
KaseyKay17 yay! Tim Curry was also on Armchair theatre, the wild thorn-Berry’s, the rocky horror picture show and so on.
