Jennifer Aniston is reflecting on the evolution of comedy: the good, bad and outdated aspects of the genre.
Aniston, 54, has been a fixture in pop culture for nearly three decades; his film career spanned genres; she starred in many-a-romantic comedies and became famous through the role of a lifetime: Rachel Green from a little sitcom called “Friends.”
The “Just Go With It” star has been around the block long enough to witness the changes and evolution in Hollywood.
The evolution of culture in general undoubtedly has an effect on the material that viewers choose to spend and invest their time in. With so many entertainment options available at our fingertips, thanks to excellent streaming services, writers and comedians need to make an impact. Sometimes, the image gained from revisiting said entertainment isn’t as funny as it used to be.

Ahead of “Murder Mystery 2,”- Aniston’s Netflix buddy comedy series in which she stars with Adam Sandler-, Aniston spoke to AFP about the current state of comedy. He also examines “Friends” and its current place in pop culture nearly 20 years since its end.
Aniston stated, “Comedy has evolved, movies have evolved,” before sharing her thoughts on the collective’s current stance on ‘acceptable’ material.
“Now it’s a bit complicated because you have to be careful, which makes it difficult for comedians,” he added. “The beauty of comedy is that we make fun of ourselves and life.”
He also believes a critical element of the genre’s purpose is no longer welcome in today’s popular culture landscape: a guide to the absurdities that come with being human.
“You can joke about bigots and laugh,” he says of the long-gone comedy culture. “And it’s about educating people about how ridiculous people are, and now we’re not allowed to do that,” Aniston said.
Could There Be More Evolution In Comedy?
z“Friends,” the beloved series about five best friends navigating their twenties in 90s New York City, continues to attract new viewers and a new fan base 29 years after its premiere.
While “Friends” remains a universally loved series, not all of the material continues to resonate with viewers.
Aniston referred to the show’s writers having to think twice about certain jokes.
“There are things that are never intentional,” he said, of the humor of “Friends” that may not be felt by today’s halal audience. “and others… well, we should think about it- but I don’t think there’s any sensitivity like that now.”
The “Picture Perfect” star also expressed the importance of comedy in our current cultural climate.
“Everyone needs a joke! The world needs humor! We can’t take ourselves too seriously,” he said. “Especially in the United States. Everyone is too divided.”
Speaking of the breakup, one major question continues to divide “Friends” fans more than 20 years after it was first brought up: Are Ross and Rachel really breaking up?
David Schwimmer, who plays Rachel Green, Ross Gellar, sat down with Jimmy Fallon ahead of the 2021 “Friends” cast reunion for HBO MAX and shared his stance.
“It’s not even a question,” he told Fallon. “They’re resting!” (via Vanity Fair).
Aniston, however, has a different view, just like Ross and Rachel.
“For the record,” she wrote in a 2021 Instagram post, “We’re not really resting! [eye roll emoji]. At the time, Aniston was promoting a new line of “Friends” merchandise; proceeds go to global non-profits geared toward collective healthcare.
