I was watching some program on Hollyweird not so long ago and this one guy suggested (somewhat seriously) that bringing back the Hays Code might go a long way in improving the quality of the writing of filmmaking again. I don’t mind off-color stuff, but when it’s a constant litany in the absence of everything else, that’s not good, it just becomes numbing and not funny anymore.
Smut isn’t funny. Bill Cosby could send me into belly laughs and he never uttered a dirty word..As you said, it just gets numbing. I do like Ron White and he can get quite blue at times but he is funny...talks mostly about his life...and when I watched one of his shows, he comes right out and says I cannot believe people bring kids to my show...its not for kids...
