Such humour as is sans decency is no humour at all

On the U.S. in the late 60s impersonators David Frye and Rich Little made quiote the faces and gestures of Presidents Johnson and Nixon. Two political parties. Their comedy was fair and not malicious. Contrarily, one of our networks CBS canceled The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour (also with high ratings) because of their political humor. By the standards of today, they weren't really malicious. And the network brought them back in a 90s summer variety-comedy series. The earlier comics used their talents artistically. Bad, bad comics today love. Eh?

I agree with you. Sadly, society has become extremely crass, and I don't know what can be done to stop it.

I think this political soap box fits anyone with a sense of decency
to a "T." I used to laugh at Samantha Bee, too. I might have agreed with her thought that the president's daughter was kind of rubbing it in that her child was safe in her arms while the immigrant moms were torn away from their children. But she lost me totally when she used the filthy word she learned from her no-class father.

Amen...it's disgusting.....I was always taught that vulgarity is a sign of a weak mind. And the numbers are growing fast!

I so agree with you. Bad taste is bad taste, and there is a line where vulgarity is no longer humor, but merely a sad and desperate attempt at it. Hopefully there will at some time be more talented people of humor than not.
