Comedy now consists of a bunch of idiots making stupid faces, screaming, yelling, etc. Sure, there was some of that back then, but now its overwhelmingly the norm.

Are you saying Will Ferrel's routine isn't mentally stimulating?

Only one Carlin comes along every century.

Comedy peaked in the 80s, like many things.

Comedy today consists of a fat woman and 5 douchebag Jews who just fucking scream every thing they say.

I always thought Phil Silvers bit on The Beverly Hillbillies was hilarious.

Honest John -


Although Carlin's "sleep & f#$k" motel was funny.

Forgot to add the same sex jokes over and over as well.
I don't watch much (if at all) anymore. Too predictable. I'd go so far as to go all the way back to Groucho Marx and say most can't even hold a candle to him. No wittiness to today's humor in general.

Wait, huh?

80s was Murphy, Kinison, Dice, and a bunch of goofy high school comedies. Oh, Letterman, too. What did I miss? If SNL is any gauge, cast in mid-late 90s was probably the strongest ever. And the last decade or so of stand-up has been pretty damn amazing.

Also, chicks finally got funny after the 80s.

Sure you're not just being nostalgic here?
