[quote=Anonymous]I'm an old person - I grew up with George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Robin Williams, and Lily Tomlin. From my parents generation I enjoyed joke-meisters like Henny Youngman and George Burns - they were "shallow" but genuinely funny. More recently John Mulaney, Louis CK (yeah, I know), and Tig Notaro have been both funny and insightful about life. But I recently checked out "Kill Tony" on Youtube, which is supposed to be the new proving ground for young standup comedians. And man, it completely sucks. Every act is just spitting hate and insults. Almost all men, and they just get up and talk about "fags", "titties", and throw around the N-word. I suppose it's a reaction against politically correct/woke constraints, but it's turned comedy into a bunch of 8-graders just yelling cursewords and slurs for shock value. How did we descend to this level? Is there any hope within GenZ for something more... funny? Insightful? [/quote]
