The age of the wisecrack is over; it is equated to a minstrel show in the eyes of the young and the woke. Watch an episode of Seinfeld and count how many truly hilarious moments would be viewed as sexist, racist, etc. by today's standards.
Thank you, Bari for starting Common Sense. I don't always like or agree with the essays published but I thank God they are being published.
Even uber liberal, Norman Lear, was smart enough to make Archie's meathead
son-in-law the occasional object of ridicule. After all, that character was living off his wife's family and she was supporting his education. Woke writers today don't have the creativity or intelligence to do that. (Many of Lear's other works were not given the nuanced treatment.)

Snitches get stitches....except now they get "likes" from the other Blue Checks
It's considered a career path. Making yourself appear better by destroying a target.
boy howdy, too bad I have to work for a living instead of looking for malfeasance on Twitter
Can you imagine the snowflakes’ reaction to an episode of The Little Rascals or The Three Stooges? Imagine their freak out over All in the Family.
Bunch of weak patsies IMO.
Stymie and Buckwheat? OMG. I'd pay to see that. Farina, too.
SNL with Richard prior, and Eddie Murphy?
I would add Amos & Andy to the list.
Read the “sellout” by Paul Beatty. Amazing racial satire. First American to win the Booker prize.
Thanks for that. I’ll check it out

True comedy pokes fun in ALL directions
