There were so many good comedians down through the years who could be funny without flinging F-bombs, JC's, and genital jokes. Jackie Gleason, Jack Benny, the rest in that era, up to Dick van Dyke, Mary Tyler More, Bob Newhart, Johnny Carson, Carol Burnett, Tim Conway and the rest of that crew, and others like Steve Allen and Chevy Chase. Those people were truly funny without being crude.


In contrast, other than Kim Kardashian, Ron Burgundy, and Bilichick (so far, I'm only halfway), the rest of them had to resort to trash to make a joke.


Kevin Hart is just bad. But maybe his is the way of comedy these days and I'm behind the times. But I remember former roasts that were more intelligently, legitimately funny.
So call me an old biddy. But there's a difference between funny and being crass. The audience seemed to like most of it, though. I will watch the rest this weekend.
Just my opinion that I'm entitled to give. By the audience's reaction, I figure I'm in the minority. Maybe this audience is too young to remember what good humor was.

You old biddy. 🐓
