   Is this supposed to be funny?

   Hard to comprehend how we've gone from Norm MacDonald being so relentlessly bold he was fired, to this sterility, in 30 years.

      30 years is a long ass time. Did you miss what happened to the Simpsons over 30 years?

         Man, the Simpsons stopped being funny a few years in, I have no idea what they’ve even been doing since then.

            "A few years" is like ten, in their case. Homer v New York is like season 9 or 10

            But it falls off very quickly after that, that it's still on the air today is elder abuse

         I think they are joking. I would be surprised if someone thinks that 30 fucking years are too little time to something to change

            I’m surprised that people expect no change over 30 years. Of course a show like SNL will change, it’s the cast of Theseus.

               The show wouldn't be the same even if they had the same cast. People change as they get old, the humour changes as well. As people say: the only constant in life is change.
