Default [OT] Most modern comedy is crap.

Which is a quote from Ade Edmonson noted on his IMDB page.

I realised that I seldom laugh very hard at modern comedies - perhaps
just an amused chuckle. I assumed it was because I was getting oold and
dulled.

Then I noticed "Bottom" was airing again on Netflix so I watched the
first series. I laughed by bum off nearly as hard as I used to in the
70's and 80's when watching Blackadder, Benny Hill and Paul Hogan.

So I did start wondering why noone makes good rip roaring comedy any more?

Another Ade quote which perhaps sheds some light on the situation:

"There is a lot of rubbish written about toilet humor - people saying it
is childish and pretending it is beneath them - but there is no doubting
the effectiveness of a really good willy gag."

Half of Shakespeare consists of willy jokes. I did Henry V for English
Lit O-Level. George Paxton our teacher spent the entire first lesson
pointing them out.
