Jennifer Aniston , one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, is still remembered mainly for her role as Rachel, from the series “Friends”, one of the greatest American television sensations of all time. But it seems that the new generations don’t quite understand the reason for so much success.
Promoting the film “Mystery in Paris”, with Adam Sandler, the actress spoke about the challenges of doing comedy today and exemplified her opinion with the fact that Generation Z (born between 1995 and 2010) consider “Friends” problematic – especially due to the lack of diversity in the cast.
“There is a whole generation of people, of children, who watch the episodes and find it offensive,” he said. “There are things that were unintentional at all and others that, well, we should have looked into it better. But I believe there wasn’t a sensibility like the one we have now”.
Aniston defended that comedy and comedy films have evolved, but “now it’s a little complicated because we have to be very careful, which makes it very difficult for comedians, since the beauty of comedy is to make fun of ourselves, of life. ”.
“You could make a joke about something extremist and laugh it off, it was hysterical – and to educate people on how clueless they can be! Today, we cannot do that,” she concluded.
Jennifer Aniston isn’t the first Hollywood name to weigh in on the “challenges of comedy today.” Actor Rowan Atkinson, Mr. Bean, was criticized for comparing cancel culture to “a medieval mafia looking for someone to burn”.
At the time, fellow comedian Seth Rogen said that if “you’re a comedian with material that has aged badly, just take it.”

The film, starring Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler, is a sequel to the 2019 feature “Mediterranean Mystery”, which became the biggest debut for a Netflix original film at the time – 30 million accounts watched the film in the first three days.
Now, “Mystery in Paris” shows the duo working as detectives, with their own agency, and getting involved in yet another mystery after a friend is kidnapped. The world premiere takes place this Friday (31).
