I feel like that was a vibe for 80's comedians. I don't know if they were all jerks or not. Dan Aykrod, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Danny devito... a lot of these guys played jerks. In a lot of movies and shows.

There was probably a lot of cocaine too. I doubt that helped. I wonder if we underestimate that sometimes.
