It's basically a thing of the past , at most. I mean now there's not really any comedians that are that good. On the other hand in the past we actually had good comedians. Even cosby was better than comedians now, and he , kinda sucked imo.

Well when everything has to be political correct, and you can`t make jokes because somebody will get offended. That is pretty much what you get

Just curious, mstreepsucks. What comedians did you like (in other words, didn't "kinda suck" in your opinion)?

I don't agree. Roy Wood, Tom Segura, and in my opinion, Chris Rock are still funny among many others.

I still manage to laugh at new stuff but then perhaps I’m just easier to please.  |

I disagree , there's still Saturday Night Live , and there are still comedy stand-up
venues as well as the comedy festivals . And a lot of the celebrity panel shows will
always have comedians on them . One of the best was the Drew Carey 'Improv' Show .
Although I agree Tv Political & Social Correctness is now putting a damper on it .

You don't watch SNL, do you?

Just because oldsters like Seinfeld and Billy Crystal are whining about how they don't appeal to today's college kids, it shouldn't alarm anyone.
That's show biz.

All the new comedy stand-ups on Netflix are comedians pretending they are edgy by making PC jokes, yawn. I have a specific sense of humor so I don't find most comedians funny but Steven Wright and Mitch Hedburg are/were among my all-time favorites. Andrew Dice Clay was a riot before he went PC. Rodney Dangerfield was hilarious, all the time. Red Fox was funny. Eddie Murphy was funny back in the day. Richard Pryor was funny back when but I watched one of his old shows recently, and it didn't hold up. Sinbad was amusing. The funniest comedians I've seen in the last 20 years were all on small stages, they can take bigger risks. The big names can't offend anyone or the backlash will put them out of business.

Kyle Dunnigan is merciless and hysterical.
Sebastian Maniscalco is gentler and very funny.

Comedy seems to go through cycles. Speaking for myself, I lost interest in new comedians when asshats like Dane Cook became popular. When I listen to stand-up, it's usually stiff from the 70s to the early-90s. There is an exception every now and then (I've seen some of John Mulaney's stuff that I like).

To be fair, most stand-up comedy has always sucked. I don't begrudge that as comics need a space to work out their material. Most burn out soon enough. But comedy is not dead so much as folks don't have much of a sense of humor nowadays.

Mulaney and Nick Kroll do some good stuff. I like Tom Papa and Jim Gaffigan a lot. Jim Breuer always gets me.
