Comedy is being killed by Political Correctness, as a lot of comedy is based on generalization, stereotypes, etc. Race, gender, ethnicity, etc have all been used in comedy forever. Now it is often not allowed, and even liberal comedians are complaining about it. Chris Rock, and Jerry Seinfeld come to mind. Neither will do colleges anymore.
You mean politically incorrect comedy is being killed by political correctness.
And Seinfeld is a hypocrite. If he loved politically incorrect humor so much, why was his show the most politically correct show of all time, using euphemisms like "shrinkage" and "master of your domain?" When did he ever use offensive, shock humor in his act? Seinfeld would probably jump off a bridge before saying anything racial or sexually explicit.

Yes, but it wasn't vicious and mean-spirited, like this hate-filled "All Mexicans are rapists" or "I would kill my son if he was gay" nonsense. It wasn't disgusting, either, like Margaret Cho talking about how buttholes taste like copper or Robert Schimmel going into detail about his package. So I thank God this stuff is getting killed off. It's disgusting, witless and vulgar, just shock tactics; that's all.
why don't you post a youtube video from Hope, Benny or Diller that they are funny in?
No, I won't. Since you've already made up your mind about them, all you're going to do is waste my time. I'll post clips, and you'll either barely watch them or make some kind of crack reaffirming your negative opinion about them.
