Here's a breakdown of the references:

9/11: Refers to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. It's a highly sensitive topic due to the massive loss of life and its profound impact on the world.

Robin Williams: The beloved comedian and actor who passed away in 2014. Mentioning him in the context of a joke, especially so soon after his death, adds to the shock value.

Robin Williams on 9/11: Combining the tragic event of 9/11 with Robin Williams is intended to be a shockingly irreverent and tasteless joke, playing on the juxtaposition of tragedy and a well-loved figure.

Charlie Hebdo: Refers to the satirical French magazine that was the target of a terrorist attack in January 2015, where 12 people were killed. The attack was in response to the magazine's controversial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, making it another extremely sensitive subject.

Ferguson, Missouri: Refers to the protests and civil unrest in Ferguson after the 2014 police shooting of Michael Brown, an African American teenager. The event sparked a national conversation about police brutality and racial discrimination, making it a politically charged reference.

Germanwings cockpit: Refers to the 2015 Germanwings flight 9525 disaster, where the co-pilot deliberately crashed the plane, killing everyone on board. This was another tragic event that was widely covered in the media.

Bill Cosby: At the time of the movie's release, Bill Cosby was facing numerous allegations of sexual assault. Mentioning him in this context is meant to evoke discomfort due to the serious nature of the accusations against him. more »
