Just came up with a new theory as to why comedy sucks now: workplace bullying and harassment policies.

[guest]

They're everywhere in workplaces these days. Jim and Sam can't make fun of guests or do jocktobers because it's against Sirius' bullying policies. This is why Opie was fired for filming Roland taking a dump, despite Opie always filming people take dumps in the past (and much worse than that).

Comedy writers can't make any offensive jokes, not because of Twitter or public opinion, but because if a colleague feels offended, that writer will be in trouble by HR.

Jew Writer: And what about this? Then Homer says "No fat chicks!" Hahaha.
Female Jew Writer: Hahahaha yeah! (Goes to HR)

I remember when they were annoyed last year or a couple years ago because the brass at sxm told them they can't say homo, fag, faggot, etc. on the Bonfire anymore.

I think because they were using that Andy Cohen guy's studio and Jay would read his diary on air in a fag voice and make fun of him.

There’s no mean spirited comedy anymore.

The answer is simple: People don't know how to take a joke anymore and are offended by everything.

 

[ShockJockRobot]

Millennials killed comedy.

Keep it simple and blame women and Jews.

There’s no mean spirited comedy anymore.

Post-modern irony is dead, and it's been replaced by faggoty earnestness. Look at every modern sitcom for proof. Show a faggot zoomer an old Simpsons or Married With Children episode and they'll sit there all confused and teary-eyed over why everyone is being so mean. They crave faggotry, like seeing Jim and Pam love one another at the end of an Office episode.

People give Stern grief for going soft, because he did, but he quite Jewingly understood where the winds were shifting, so wisely turned himself in Joy Behar's sister.

Howie wanted to prove to his parents that he was a real talent capable of more than dick and fart jokes. This became even more important to him after he ruined his family and alienated his children. He wants to show everyone he's capable of loving and being loved, but he isn't.
