Bob Newhart did some downright filthy stand up. Buddy Hacket was another.
All the best old true comedians could be filthy as hell with an all adult audience, the difference was they were capable of being truly funny without any swearing or filth for the family audience. Nowadays the vast majority of so called comedians are only capable of using pejorative.

The worst of the worst has to be Bob Saget. Somebody warned me about him and hubby and I did once see him on some HBO thing (I suppose.)
Just filthy beyond belief, I was glad that I’d be warned, otherwise my head might have exploded. Not funny, it was just too disgusting and I’m pretty easy going about stuff like that.
I’ll tell you what I loved though, National Lampoons Dirty Movie. Just one corny old joke after another, hubby was laughing at me laughing at the movie. It isn’t really that dirty, but not for kids, obviously.
