Part 7/11:

The Future of Comedy and Social Censorship

A recurring lament is the perceived death of comedy as we knew it. Mammoth reflects nostalgically on shows like 30 Rock, The Office, and Arrested Development, which he deems "better" and more free in their humor. He claims that modern comedy is hamstrung by virtue signaling, stereotyping avoidance, and a fear of offending, which stifles real humor. The days of poking fun at stereotypes based on truth are gone, replaced by a culture that tiptoes around issues that once provided rich comedic material.
