and that's why she is one of the GOATs. Veep is one of the most politically incorrect shows ever made...and not a soul ever had issue with it...if your delivery and intent is correct, no one cares.

Shows like Veep and Always Sunny understand the concept of punching up. You're watching bad people doing offensive things and the joke is always on them.

Always Sunny - didn't they do blackface?

Yeah. People like to say it shows how ignorant the CHARACTERS are but like… you don’t have to include blackface to do that as a writer.
