I never understood why anyone found this shit funny until i realized the joke is that she’s saying something she’s not supposed to say. Technically you could argue it’s anti-authoritarian, except she’s saying these things in the expense of the victim which in reality means she’s punching down. It’s a joke with fascistic tendencies.
There’s another kind of racist joke you can make. The Ćevapi vs kevapi debate for instance. But the joke there works precisely because it is a critique of the absurdities of racism, it’s punching up authentically.
Yeah the late 90’s/early aughts had a lot of mediocre comedians and entertainers coasting on “oooh they’re not supposed to say that” in lieu of actual humor. I think it died out not so much out of political correctness, but rather it didn’t get a rise out of millennials who were seeing much worse on the internet on a regular basis.
