Sorry to link to YouTube for this, but it's just such a great example of actual humor from the decades where it was allowed to joke about it.

So in your opinion you can't make yokes about piracy nowerdays? How did you get to that conclusion?

I honestly don't even think this is that edgy of a sketch ...

The episode came out over 15 years ago...

So? My point was, that you could easily make this joke today, why not?

Vaguely conservative people love to claim that "you can't joke about anything nowadays!!" but everytime I ask for an example it's either completely banal stuff like this sketch, or it's just straight up bigotry with the thinnest veneer of "a joke".

Like, sorry that calling a trans woman a guy or saying weird shit about Muslims isn't funny in 2023, but good god get some fucking actual material.
