Are there moments in CYE that are beyond acceptable?

I think this is kind of interesting, how to look at artifacts of media now, from the past and into the future. Are there moments in CYE where something really goes into an ugly unacceptable place, and yet somehow we ignore it because it is funny.

What is the derivation of this mental process. Obviously, I think, Larry David is not Trump-like. I think he hates Trump with a passion reserved for few things ... as any decent real American would.

BUT, like Trump took advantage of the fact that you can bully, abuse, insult, etc someone in public if you can hit the funny bones of enough people in the audience. This is a kind of cognitive dissonant thing ... but where does it come from and how does it work?

The whole existence of the character Leon in the show is a foil for bringing up African American issues, and racist stereotypes. The first thing that happens when Leon shows up is that Cheryl tells Larry that Leon must go because he left a cumstain on the blanket in his room. Larry has a talk with him, and when asked by surprised Leon, what kind of stain was it, Larry whispers, "ejaculate".

So, Leon is unfamiliar with the word, bewilderingly trying to repeat it back to Larry, like a cross between Chicklets and Chocolate ... jecklate. It is funny, but it makes fun of black people being uneducated, which Leon is.

So, why does Larry allow Leon to stay at his house and be such an proximal situation in his life? What is it with Larry and Leon?

Then to go against stereotype, Jeff Green of all people, Larry's libidinous goat-like agent who will fuck anything, admits it was him that masturbated in Larry's house in a spare room, because when the urge hits him he cannot resist.

In another episodes Jeff thinks Larry would be proud of Cheryl if he admits to thinking about her in a sexual fantasy. Larry forbids Jeff to do that ever again and makes him promise he will never sexually fantasize about Cheryl.

The question was why is this OK, or why is it not OK? ... is it mostly because it makes people laugh? What is it about laughing that disarms people from morality?
