→‎Hollywood "humor": Not a great example to list
Line 432: Line 432:  
*''[[Beavis and Butthead]]'' 1990s MTV series and its 1996 [[movie]] adaptation, "Beavis and Butthead Do America", make fun of injuries and their related suffering and, in the movie version, "moon" (expose their buttocks to) nuns.

* Mel Brooks' ''History of The World Part I'' (1981) makes fun of, among other things, the Dawn of Man by showing cavemen breaking their own feet to make "music" from the resulting screams and creating the first same-sex "marriage", the [[Old Testament]]'s [[Moses]] bringing the [[Ten Commandments]] to the Israelites by literally breaking the extra five, many sex jokes and a mockery of the [[Last Supper]] in its [[Roman Empire]] segment, mockery of the sufferings of [[Jews]] in its [[Spanish Inquisition]] segment and shows France's [[Louis XVI|King Louis XVI]] (played by Brooks) in its [[French Revolution]] segment using real humans as skeet targets for his target practice games, while hypocritically saying, "I detest violence".

* TV sitcoms ''[[All in the Family]]'' and its first spinoff, ''Maude'', included controversial subjects in an often depressing way. ''Maude'' for example, had its title character getting an [[abortion]] in its first year. Later sitcoms ''Married With Children'', ''Roseanne'', ''[[The Simpsons]]'' (latter is still running since its December 1989 pilot debut), ''[[South Park]]'', ''[[Family Guy]]'' and ''According to Jim'' are also full of such humor.

* ''[[Hogan's Heroes]]'' may be seen by some as offensive humor due to its unreal depiction of [[Nazi]] POW camps during [[World War II]].  However, Werner Klemperer (who played Colonel Klink) was born in Germany to a Jewish father; his family was able to emigrate to the United States before World War II started, and he refused to accept the role unless Klink was portrayed as an unsuccessful fool.

* ''[[South Park]]'' — uses constant iterations of urine, feces, farting and shock humor, such as jokes about [[abortion]], [[rape]] and the [[Holocaust]]. It is loved and gets credits, however, for mocking and criticizing [[politically correct]] and [[woke]] pseudo-culture as well as [[liberal]] hypocrisy and education. It can't be said the same for the more recent and "modern" seasons of (once) [[politically incorrect]] and irreverent series like ''[[The Simpsons]]'' and ''[[Family Guy]]''.
