I'm sure I'll catch flak for this from more regular users, but basically Comedy Bang Bang has become part of the establishment now. And as part of the establishment it takes less risks and the comedic perspectives that appear on the show have narrowed (mainly because it borrows so heavily from UCB performers, and in order to make it through UCB you need a lot of funds and leisure time, hence most of the guests are now timid former theater kids whose parents bankrolled their way through college and paid their rent while they learned improv and attended every UCB show 7 nights a week for visibility and networking, hell comedy bang bang still doesn't pay and the guests go on for "exposure", guess who can afford to do that?). This is the endgame of the slow rich/academic/normie infiltration of comedy that has led us to shit like Nanette (where funny enough the thesis is "I don't actually like comedy").

It's also now firmly steeped in the cultish L.A. comedy culture which has a philosophy of "never punching down" or being offensive which (while being an improvement over the 90s comedy landscape in certain ways) paradoxically means the comedy is completely defanged and agnostically incapable of going far enough and of actually examining power structures or critiquing society in a meaningful holistic way. Harris Wittels also died and we lost one of the few people who realized comedy is a binary of funny/not funny and all that matters is if someone is laughing. Now we get either didactic comedy that "speaks truth to power" but in a narrow and safe liberal centrist way that never actually takes real power to task and doesn't even try to be funny (the departure of James Adomian was the final nail in that coffin), or we get more silly voices and characters based off 90s pop culture from sheltered dorks who were raised by tv. Take all of this with a grain of salt I'm a chud who basically only listens to select CBB eps now and Hollywood Handbook while rounding out my listening with Chapo and Cumtown.

The menstrual cycle changes among Hassidic Jewish women was something as well.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

Comedy Bang Bang lost Adomian?
