It is a modern day paradox that one can hear from all of these people who have been cancelled!

Offs Larry David had episodes about a black lawn jockey, the college admission scandal, larry using a woman for sex to get an ordinance changed, and what was it last year he had a trans man's penis knocking ---- over.

So, no comedy isn't dead, it just takes some intelligence to write funny jokes that aren't regressive.

Being afraid of offending people is a good thing my friend. That forces you to be clever. It is easy to say slurs and punch down on the marginalized. The easy joke is to insult a trans person, I could not imagine a good joke that insults a marginalized person/group while not having the marginalized group in on the joke.

FWIW yes something like Blazing Saddles couldn't be made now, but that has less to do with the humor but the context and times they are set in. That type of humor is not funny in today's world, while it was and is funny in context of the 70s. A black man mocking the "step and fetch it" stereotype does not hit the way it hit in the 70s because African Americans are viewed differently today.

Turn on ANY episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and tell me comedy is dead or it is impossible to tell "edgy" jokes.

What has-beens like Seinfeld want is for comedy to never change, well, what is the deal with not being able to change?

Mediocre but highly irritating standup who ended up with a great sitcom. I so don't give a crap about what the guy says.

History has shown who the genius was between Seinfeld and David
