I am really conflicted about one part of this: Live From 6H. I know the scene almost by heart. It remains the funniest from the entire run of the series. It is a perfect match between Hamm and Morgan.
I remember watching this on my TiVo and literally convulsing on the floor as things progressed. Eight years later, my wife can say "Banjo!" and I will at best start laughing and at worst fall to the ground like Tim Conway in response to Vicki Lawrence in the legendary Elephant outtake from Carol Burnett. To tie this with another thread: if you can't appreciate that this use of blackface is different than the others in the same way that the Major's use of a racial slur in The Germans on Fawlty Towers is different than others, that's a you problem, not a me problem. My fear now is that we're past the point of acknowledging that certain things aren't funny and have simply started a big ass memory hole of shit that contains questionable shit from a different time. As some who is very sensitive towards self-censorship, I don't like this one bit.
