What is funny these days?.... If you take out the race/ethinicity bargain outta these innumerable comedy standups, there's not much left to get ppl exercise their cheek bones.... so is making ppl laugh that hard?... it isn't been through ages.... intelligent comedy is not that hard...an average seinfeld episode could have you in bouts of laughter... things that are done normally with no rhyme or reason make excellent material... that is if you're not hurling "F" or "N" words for a living....
