In the classic Steve Martin skit, he performs a goofy song, “King Tut,”

I always thought that Steve Martin's comedy did not age well. He and Milton Berle struck me as two of the most overrated comics ever.

I agree.

I used to laugh at Steve Martin, but it was in a "laugh at the class clown" kind of way - laughing at his behavior, not so much at his jokes.

Don't forget, a lot of people didn't think Martin was funny back then, and I was one of them.

He may have gone up slightly for me since then just from familiarity. But protesting the "King Tut" novelty song while ignoring the history of rap is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. And the liberals have to try hard lately to get me to say that.

Yeah, and I didn't get Uncle Miltie either. He says something stupid and the audience goes bonkers. Must have been a generational thing.

Funny you would say that @ Berle...I was just watching him in a Dean Martin roast of...wait for it...Sammy Davis.
Check it out.
There is NO WAY they could do some of those lines in this day.

The snowflakes’ tender brains would explode.

Leftists/SJW’s destroy everything they touch.
