Jennifer Aniston is reflecting on how comedy has changed. In a new interview, the 54-year-old actress spoke about the “tricky” sensitivity of comedy in recent years, which wasn’t as prevalent when she she starred on “Friends” from 1994 to 2004. “Comedy has evolved, movies have evolved.
Now it’s a little tricky because you have to be very careful, which makes it really hard for comedians, because the beauty of comedy is that we make fun of ourselves, make fun of life,” Aniston told AFP via Yahoo News. “[In the past] you could joke about a bigot and have a laugh — that was hysterical.
And it was about educating people on how ridiculous people were. And now we’re not allowed to do that.” For Aniston, one example of the relatively newfound sensitivity is how particular episodes of “Friends” are viewed by Gen Z. “There’s a whole generation of people, kids, who are now going back to episodes of ‘Friends’ and find them offensive,” Aniston said. “There were things that were never intentional and others… well, we should have thought it through — but I don’t think there was a sensitivity like there is now.” The change in comedy is something Aniston is not for, as she explained, “Everybody needs funny!
The world needs humoUr! We can’t take ourselves too seriously. Especially in the United States. Everyone is far too divided.” Friends has been criticized in recent years for its lack of diversity.
