@georgetakei I would file this under "SNL isn't funny anymore." I haven't found SNL funny since the first cast left. But is SNL funny? Of course it is, but tastes change and Jerry hasn't. I never found Don Rickles funny, but my dad thought he was a riot. Times change, people change, Jerry stays the same.
@georgetakei the left didn't kill comedy, gimme fricken break. Racist, sexist, trans-type jokes simply are not funny anymore. Never were, really, society just kinda accepted them. That has changed.
Everything else is still on the table as far as I know -- if George Carlin were still alive, he'd probably still be doing his routines. Gabriel Iglesias is super funny without invoking the above stuff, so is Jeff Dunham.
@georgetakei sitcoms literally still exist. I saw someone mentioned Abbott Elementary, which is a great one but, in terms of family sitcoms, Bob's Burgers is my personal favorite.
Whenever I see people complain about comedy being dead, all I can think is, "You're just mad because no one wants to listen to you be mean anymore."
Also, who does he think the "extreme left" are? Because most people worrying about being PC tend to be liberals, not leftists.
@georgetakei Why is it that his colleagues from his old show don't seem to have this problem? Julia Louis-Dreyfuss' show Veep was almost as offensive as possible, and Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm is explicitly and purposefully offensive and they're both massive hits. Seinfeld knows this as he was even a guest on Curb. Jerry gives no examples of what he can't say. Maybe he's just not funny anymore.
