Full of killer burns, easy to watch, and stacked with it's-that-guy! cameos, That '70s Show remains a breezy binge-watch option to throw on when you want to get away from the horrors of the modern world. Except it's sometimes too easy for the modern world to creep back in while you're watching, especially when there are certain jokes in That '70s Show that haven't aged well. If you haven't enjoyed a solid rewatch of the show for a while, then the fact that many of the jokes revolve around sexist, racist, and homophobic ideas can be a little jarring.
It's important to remember that many of these jokes are likely an attempt to reflect the attitudes of the '70s. But what they actually occasionally achieve is a reflection of just how many of these attitudes persisted in the late '90s and early '00s, when the show was on the air. If That '70s Show were to debut today, you can bet that none of these jokes would be accepted without a social media frenzy of protest.
Slam some Led Zeppelin in the eight-track and meet us in your parents' basement, because we need to talk about all the inappropriate That '70s Show jokes that wouldn't be accepted today.
