In a recent interview, Jennifer Aniston talks about the changes in comedy and in terms of sensitivity, which didn't happen when she was in Friends from 1994 to 2004.
She told AFP via Yahoo News, "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".
"[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."
"There's a whole generation of people, kids, who are now going back to episodes of Friends and find them offensive. 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."
"Everybody needs funny! The world needs humor! We can't take ourselves too seriously. Especially in the United States. Everyone is far too divided."
