* 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 sitcom entries ''Married With Children'', ''Roseanne'' and ''The Simpsons'' (latter is still running over 25 years on) 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 prior to World War II, and he refused to accept the role unless Klink was portrayed as an unsuccessful fool.
