[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. |
