Watching the pilot episode of M*A*S*H. Trapper and Hawkeye are trying to figure out how to get $2000 to send Ho John to the US. This was in the first few episodes when Spearchucker was in the cast- there's the first modern casualty to fall. Spearchucker is sleeping on his cot and Trapper jokingly says, "Maybe we can sell Spearchucker while he's asleep."
That line alone would cause riots in the US Capitol for Congress members looking to be offended by something.
In addition they're also looking to raffle off a nurse for the weekend.

Probably hundreds of lines from All in the Family.

For starters they'd have the good sense to not have a character named that

Archer mentioned it in an episode as well.

The second best line in the original MASH film was when Hawkeye, Duke and Trapper John asked Spearchucker (a black man played by the young Fred Williamson) why everyone called him "Spearchucker."
Williamson replies, "Because I used to throw the javelin in college."
The entire "racist" name was anything but... And that's the beauty of the whole film, it's subverted expectation ls at every turn.
It was a passe' line in the film, but it was such a huge joke. It's just one of many reasons I have come to love the film so much more than the show in recent years.
Cutting out Duke in the show also rally hurt it. He brought such a blissful ignorance and southern dichotomy to the rest of the crew.

Hard Ticket to Hawaii is a masterpiece for lots of reasons.

Sanford and Son:
Fred: "Listen…Why don't you arrest some white drivers?"
Cop: "I do."
Fred: "You do? Well where are they? Look at all these n-words in here. Look around here - there's enough n-words in here to make a Tarzan movie."

This is the one that came to mind. Also when he calls Esther a big gorilla.

At least half of the jokes from Dean Martin Celebrity Roast would never make it on NBC today.
Word Association from SNL.
Nickelodeon also had several subtle lines on some of their shows in the 90s that probably wouldn’t fly like Rocko talking for a sex hotline and the exchange he and Heifer have with a no-tell motel owner.

I saw a random episode of Parks and Rec the other day about whether a painting should be hung in town hall. And Poehler’s character asked - what is pornography anyway? And one of the townspeople answered - when the penis is inserted
This was on NBC in like 2009. No way that makes air today

Do they have to cut all of Otis' scenes out of Andy Griffith? Being a drunk, or any kind of addict, is no joke, and hasn't been for almost four decades. Before MADD got big, and states started having to enforce the laws on the books, drunk driving was kind of a rite of passage in Louisiana. I knew a guy with four of them before they started jailing offenders. He got his 5th one and was sentenced to 18 months in jail.

One that isn't really due to wokeness.
C. 1964 The Dick Van Dyke Show did an episode about a debonair "swinging bachelor" who never has a lasting relationship w/a woman.
We learn the reason in the last scene. He's talking with Rob & Laurie and says, "I guess the reason women never stay with me is because... I hit them." He kind of smiles, as if he's talking about having a bad case of dandruff. "Yes, I just can't help myself. I like to hit women."
You would expect Rob and definitely Laurie to be horrified, but they just keep listening attentively.
I can't believe they got away with this even in 1964.
