I have noticed that tastes in humour change as society changes.

I have listened to 'old style' humour on Radio 4extra (Goon show and Ray's a laugh etc), and it isn't funny any more. I find the Carry On films and Norman Wisdom 'cringeworthy'.

I think our society grew out of slapstick and became cynical, causing satire to be popular.
