Robin Williams, Eddie Murphy, and Jim Carrey all seemed like they had really good specials. I haven't watched them in a long time, but I don't recall them being edge lords. I'm sure there have to be others.

Eddie Murphy can be funny, but there's a ton of homophobic and other problematic content in Raw and Delirious.

The first 10 mins of Delirious are difficult watching, but worth getting through for the timeless gold in the rest of it.

If you want to keep happy memories, never rewatch a comedy special older than 10 years. It's incredible how fast most jokes age.

I think there are some big exceptions. For example- Robin Williams at the Met was an amazing show and is still extremely funny.

Probably true, I usually don't rewatch anything in video format. It's kind of a weird quirk of mine.

Some are timeless, I can watch Burns and Allen routines and they are still hilarious. Topical humor is very of-its-time though.
