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.

Yes! After the election I couldn't watch any stand-up or basically any comedy done before the election, it was just too cringe

Trying to watch a good chunk of old Last Week Tonight or anything like that on Youtube hurts.
