[QUOTE="TANSTAAFL, post: 3984229, member: 27098"] Old comedy suffers from "been there, done that" syndrome. I do get a chuckle or two from it still, but so much time has passed and my expectations and lack of surprise makes it less enjoyable than it was. New comedy? Some is funny but it is mostly shock jocks and nothing shocks us any more. 40 to 50 years ago our cable news on any network would be a parody or satire, since it would be so unbelievable. Can't tell any joke that is funny, you will be persecuted for it. [/QUOTE]
