Back in the late 80s/early 90s, some cable network or another would show some best of SNL and particular the mid to late 70s SNL. I didn't get it. Not much of it was funny, to me. I suspect it was sort of "you had to be there at the time" kind of thing.Seinfeld was very funny; there's even a trope called "Seinfeld is Unfunny" named for how people don't get how it's funny now. It was leagues ahead of anything in its time and was essentially about a bunch of sociopathic New York Jews.
For SNL you have to reach deep into the 70s with the original Not Ready For Prime Time Players. By the 80s it became "safe" after being nearly cancelled after Lorne Michaels left the programme. Oh and after Al Franken got fired by ripping on the head of NBC for, among other things, OKing SUPERTRAIN, a Love Boat style drama about a giant train. (Not lying, I have a huge soft spot for late 80s / early 90s SNL because I grew up with it. By the mid to late 90s it became a pile of crap. Remember that the show just got worse and Norm knew this.)
Same for National Lampoon's Vacation, which is arguably the best of the series. It was about a dysfunctional family going on a road trip, which was stuff you never saw movies being made about at the time, and it wasn't really family friendly either.
In the case of comediannes, vagina vagina sex vagina.95% of stand up comedy from the states.
"Race, race, race race race, racism race race, president, race."
The other 5%? Same as above but replace "race" with "jews".
For British comics, it's hard to name ones Americans would like. Lee Evans might be a safe bet? Jack Dee maybe?

I'm in the same boat. Everyone lauds Monty Python, but I could never get into it. I watched the Holy Grail but I found myself more bored than entertained. It was like when a co-worker shows you an overly long video on their phone that they think is funny, and you kinda have to pretend you find it funny too for the social benefit even though it's not funny at all.Really though I've had the same thing where nobody would shut up about Monty Python, then eventually I saw it and stuff like The Holy Grail was bizarre and quirky, but not actually that funny. It could just be a matter of cultural sensibiliti
I guess most of Norm MacDonald's Weekend Update would be lost on you then.I feel like I would get more of this if I knew who OJ was. Never heard of him

I think the only piece of British comedy that I really enjoyed was Peep Show. I could watch that on repeat, just like Seinfeld.

Of course the best WKRP scene doesn't even have music.
Technically OJ Simpson is the father of influencer culture. If he didn’t chop up Ron and Nicole, there’d be no trial, no Robert Kardashian being like “he vas my friend... I believe in juice…”, no media circus, no Kim getting a taste of the spotlight. Fast-forward: Ray J dick, billionaire makeup line, Kanye meltdown, Pete Davidson somehow involved.A famous football player who murdered his ex-wife but got away with it and was acquitted. It's pretty much common knowledge that he did it and he's a murderer.
I did always appreciate that Mad TV was one of the only sketch shows that openly called out R Kelly for being a statutory rapist, back when nobody else was saying it.

R. Kelly has had the slowest cancellation in recorded history. This man was out here running a sex cult and people were still like, “But ‘Step in the Name of Love’ tho.” Gaga did a duet with him where he plays the president and she plays a sex secretary or something, pretending she didn’t know what he was about until people in her Instagram comments went nuclear.
I’m not even a moral absolutist about art. I’ll still listen to Chuck Berry or whatever. But R. Kelly hasn’t been relevant since Space Jam.
Lady Gaga is laughable and completely bullshit, by the way.
All this talk about sketch shows and no mention of In Living Color? I don't think so, Homie don't play dat.
Yes, and it’s all so relatable in some way. Everyone’s had that family vacation or gathering where you just wanted to stab yourself in the neck repeatedly with a fork.It's about how nothing you do really matters and how family road vacations are shitty and stupid and why places like Disneyland (sorry, sorry, "Walley World") are not places you should want to go to.
I was going to bring up Mama’s Family. It’s actually a spin-off from The Carol Burnett Show, so if you liked that you’ll probably like this (especially if you’re southern).3) I'll add a couple old shows I've discovered in reruns recently. Soap and Mama's Family. I actually went out and bought the DVDs because I liked them that much.
The Conners sucked, but to be fair, Fishman wasn’t a great actor, especially after he lost that “cute kid” energy from Roseanne. And his son died at some point, so I think he left.I also think they royally screwed over Michael Fishman. The entire show revolved around Becky and Darlene while DJ was pretty much written off the show and severely underused. If the writers couldn't give the family members equal time, then there really was no point in continuing it.
this will always be my go-to Python quote:This was the only Monty Python movie bit that ever actually made me laugh.
That and the whole Biggus Dickus joke actually makes me laugh. I've seen both Holy Grail and Life of Brian. In my opinion, Life of Brian was way better.
KITH is Canadian, eyAlso Kids In the Hall.
Wasn't that the weird Canadian show where they did a ton of drag and committed too hard? Uncomfortably hard.Also Kids In the Hall.
