I'm a 56 year old guy who returned to stand up comedy as a hobby after a 14 year absence and I think some of the problems facing Boomers when watching today's crop of comedians are related to generational norms. I find nothing subtle about their humor. Most of it is graphic descriptions of sex and heavy doses of profanity. Also, today's twenty-somethings are so jacked up on Red Bull, Starbucks they have more problems hanging in for anything over a few words in length. This is the Ritalin generation after all. I love when I see Boomers in the audience because I use material that one has to have read a newspaper to understand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969783509065962001.post-53958487508936537462007-07-13T21:17:00.000-04:002007-07-13T21:17:00.000-04:00I'm 57 and consider myself, my colleagues and frie...I'm 57 and consider myself, my colleagues and friends to value humer in most situations - I don't think it's a matter of processing, I think we've developed a more selective sense of humor!Kay's Pic'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14855807957677409066noreply@blogger.com
