Minimal swearing and violence, no awkward sex scenes!
If you haven't heard John Mulaney's stand-up yet, it's truly funny stuff. As a bonus, he tends to be a relatively clean comedian (as comedians go), so you won't have any embarrassing moments with your parents (he does swear a bit, so watch out for the kids). The only pitfall might be a bit at the end of this special where Mulaney gets a tad political, in a metaphorical kind of way. If you like this one, two of Mulaney's other excellent specials are also on Netflix.
Speaking of clean comedians, Jerry Seinfeld runs a tight ship on this quirky talk show. Each episode involves Jerry driving around in some kind of rare collector car with another comedian and then stopping for coffee, all while having a usually entertainingly funny conversation.
There are naturally some episodes of this explainer series that you'll want to avoid watching with family ("Adam Ruins Sex" comes to mind), but otherwise it's a very interesting watch. Each episode, Adam Conover uses a combo of research and sketch comedy to do an educational deep dive on a particular topic ranging from housing (is it really better to buy than rent?) to nutrition (do vitamins actually do anything?) to security (does taking off our shoes at the airport really prevent terrorism?). Maybe your Baby Boomer parents will be less smug or judgemental about your income when they watch "Adam Ruins Work."
Do not watch Jessica Jones with your parents. There are so many sex scenes in the first couple of episodes, and you don't want that. But Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Thor: Ragnarok, and Black Panther are all suitable for pretty much any age, if you're OK with the superhero-style violence.
Moana, the live-action Beauty and the Beast remake, Mulan, and Lilo & Stitch are just a few of the many Disney/Pixar offerings available. Also, make sure you watch the severely underrated The Emperor's New Groove if you never have before.
There's also a healthy dose of DreamWorks movies available, like Kung Fu Panda and The Prince of Egypt, if you feel like you've watched every Disney movie to death.
