You might think that 2022 humour is better, and in thirty years’ time there will be no-one that argues with you but know-nowts who have not even been born yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day, we could identify with comic characters portraying the poorest members of our society, who were part of a fading way of life. Maybe, back in the day, old people didn't find Steptoe and Son as funny as their children and grandchildren did - not least because they did not have televisions. Top greenness, with the emphasis on reuse and recycling, by the way. Steptoe and Son, and the Wombles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Better stuff- Cultural things changes...too 1930s silent movie slapstick is not good , mainly not funny we have all progressed NOBODY Finds Steptoe and son funny anymore. Because it's not funny now Humour does not age . Try showing todays kids stuff we liked. But the real issue is how wokeism has killed off comedy creating rubbish TV series and a pathetic Edinburgh festival. But there are some great comedy teams doing great funny work. Because they are funny they are called 'Right Wing Comedians' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
