It was smart comedy that worked on many levels. I think because these guys came out of a comedic movement that appealed to educated college kids of the 70s - counter culture, etc.

Modern comedians come from a different atmosphere. The stand up night club which produces more lowest denominator style of jokesters.

You are right, comedy was smart, jokes were"running", you would laugh all night.

Now all it takes is a F bomb and a laugh track.

I am amazed at the people who laugh, just because a so called comedian is on stage, we have been dumbed down.
