From the F*&* word to PG in 20 short years?

So I'm 40.  Things change. I don't mean the obvious things like not getting carded anymore, grey hair, who is that in the mirror kind of things.  I actually was just thinking about entertainment.  See below... I think the way we remember Eddie Murphy & Mike Myers is a little different than how our kids think of them.  Do you remember those guys?

I know we've all grown up & had kids, including comedians.  It's just interesting to me to think about the differences.  How many of you remember this "Wild & Crazy Guy", who is now known as the movie father of sweetheart Hilary Duff?  Okay, so he was always pretty "family friendly".  I just keep picturing him in The Jerk.

And I know this one isn't as big of a stretch, since his cartoon self is gruff & grumpy... but he does have a much more PG vocabulary.  Besides, I think the first picture of Denis Leary is hot.  : )

  

And what about this... my daughter comes home from Shrek 3 singing the Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin.  ???  They used to be "devil music" when we listened to them!  Remember that?  Now they're suitable for kids movies?  I remember another mother looking at me funny when my daughter did the YMCA "arms" at a b'day party.  I had to remind her about Shrek Karaoke in the Swamp (special features on Shrek dvd). 

How many can you come up with?
