How Did Friends Get Away with Ripping off Mr Bean?

The "turkey on the head" type shit was never why Friends was funny. Friends had moments when it could be funny, but those moments were because of dry cynical humor, not because of the "lol so random" jokes.

How did they get away with making fun of monica’s frizzy jewish hair in the Jamaican humidity. Questioning if she was a woman, calling her diana ross etc. That would not fly in todays woke world. They had balls to do it even back then.

Joey also wore a turkey head.

The '90s weren't "woke".

R4 They cast Aisha Tyler as Joey/Ross’ girlfriend after backlash so yes it was a little “woke”.

"Woke" for the 90's is "politically incorrect" today, just like woke for the 80's and 70's and the 60's is "politically incorrect" today.

You want to take a number please?

In that Aisha Tyler episode (in the bahamas or jamaica or wherever it was) the writers were making fun of monica’s black girl humidity hair. Those fuckers had balls

Aisha Tyler's character was very white-washed.

R9 Her character was a snow queen yes, but wasn’t she a doctor on the show?

Friends didn’t have dry cynical humor. It was a show for plebs. A step above Full House. Go watch the show without the laugh track.

It takes balls to make a corny racist joke? Really?

Scott Thompson will gladly school you.

Wokeness looked different back then. Wokeness is the 90's would be considered racism today. It's hard to look at wokeness in the past through today's lens because of how radically everything has changed in only a decade.

R12 when you finally cast a black actress and then procede to Make fun of black womens hair In same episode yes.
