Comedy has always been crude. It inherent.
You are wrong.
Comedy, until recently, has been intellectually based. As we are told of Aristotle’s treatise on comedy (we don’t know directly because the text is lost), our heritage is that comedy is a higher art and ranks with tragedy because it looks at the human situation and then presents it in such a way that we all laugh (rather than cry) at our common situation. Comedy was an escape from the drudgery of reality while tragedy wallowed in it.
More recently, due to poor education and dying creativity among those who seek to entertain us, comedy has degraded further and further away from being intellectually based and discussing the more universal issues of the human situation to being about nothing more than the foul and filthy and, as I said, since the 60’s assaulting and insulting our established culture (in order to tear it down so that it could be replaced with a Marxist worldview).
My first post to you was simply a request to cite some examples of what we consider “shock humor” in ancient comedy, since you said shock humor is as old as comedy itself.
I disagreed and you insulted me crassly. So I think at this point we’re pretty much finished with this discussion.
