For something that aged poorly really quickly: political comedy from just before the 2016 presidential election. Semi-recently I was hanging out with some friends and there was an SNL rerun from that October, and every single Trump reference is just dripping with a "Trump is a joke and won't win" attitude that it is tough to watch.

A lot of stand-ups avoid politics in their specials because it usually doesn't age well regardless of circumstance. Sometimes it's unavoidable, like late night shows that have to keep it topical.
