There's a specific character from years back that felt edgy at the time and now genuinely reads as uncomfortable watching it back with modern eyes
Have you tried turning it off and on again?

A certain stereotype based character from years ago has aged badly, hard to watch those old segments now without wincing a little
Hala Madrid.

Honestly a specific gimmick built purely around shock value feels completely dated now, worked at the time and hasn't held up remotely well since

Mine's an entire angle rather than a single character, the whole storyline direction from that era just doesn't work watching it back now with any perspective

Yeah agree completely, a certain character type from that whole era just doesn't translate at all to how storytelling's evolved since then

Nah I think some of those old gimmicks are actually fun in a nostalgic way now, cheesy but still entertaining rather than actually offensive
