[–] Ross_audio@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (2 children) George Carlin was first. Joan Rivers got there just after. We've been laughing at jokes about 911 for ages. Being edgy isn't new, even boomers do it permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ggBarabajagal@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago I remember Gilbert Gottfried at a Friar's Club roast. Can't remember what the actual joke was, but I remember he lost the whole audience, and then won them back with a spontaneous telling of "The Aristocrats" Kudos for Carlin, who made fun of government propaganda. Maybe not so much for Joan Rivers for making fun of FDNY widows. (I'm not a boomer, though. Or a millennial. Or really that edgy anymore, if I ever was....) permalink fedilink source parent [–] Maggoty@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago Oh I know. And there's some lessening of the emotions, I'm not enraged by the jokes this time. Just...sad. permalink fedilink source parent
