Friends is basically just 10 seasons of socially unacceptable straight white humor. Even with a distant cousin of mine as one of the leads on Friends I couldn't watch that show. Tried many times and it just isn't funny. Based off your location I assume it's Gunther.

She is my second cousin or something like that. Supposedly she was at the big family reunion I went to when I was like 4 and she was maybe 6. Besides then I have never met her.

Cryme Tyme was a blatant theft (pun intended) of the Homeboys Shopping Network. Vera De Milo would probably anger the transgender community. I’m sure people would find a way to be offended but if memory serves Vera De Milo was a woman who’s body had been wrecked by using obscene amounts of steroids. I think Living Colour could get away with probably less than half of what their reoccurring characters were. The only one that strikes me as ridiculously over the top zero percent chance of not flying (no pun) is Handi Man

Some MST3K riffs wouldn't hold up now to some people. There were gay jokes and implications, for instance. Listening to them break out the Mr. Moto accents while riffing on Godzilla and Gamera movies now is pretty cringe-inducing.

Has Beavis and Butthead been mentioned? Even looking past how horny they were, PETA would go after them for all the animal abuse.

Friends is basically just 10 seasons of socially unacceptable straight white humor. This is 5000000% accurate. The writing is terrible and it's the whitest thing ever. There are damn near no people of color in that entire show. In NEW YORK. I hate Friends so much.

Seinfeld has aged really well. Despite some things that jump out (Jerry not knowing what an e-mail is, the prices of rent) it really helps the show focused so much on mundane things.
Anyway, there are a couple of things that stuck out...
1. George straight up calls Jerry a jerk off in one episode. I think its the one where George goes to the hospital and Jerry jokingly, but really intensely smothers him with a pillow. I'm not sure if you could really call it politically incorrect, but it was surprising to see on Seinfeld.
2. On the subway episode Elaine is going to a lesbian woman as the "best man." She makes small talk with an older woman and this eventually comes out. The older woman acts like Elaine is a weirdo and walks away.

With Seinfeld, there is the Puerto Rican Pride Parade episode that got a lot of flak back then. I think it was made ineligible for syndication due to the controversy. I don't think the subplot of one episode involving Kramer being mistaken for someone with developmental disorder would get greenlit today. The bit with George and Jerry feeding one woman lots of tryptophan, knocking her out so they could play with her collectible toys would catch some heat.
