I thought his show was lowbrow. Why you idolize him cause he went around chasing skeezahs to the tune of Yakety Sax?

It is funny to me in my Country, and just for example, people here are wearing masks not just in cars, you drive along the Lanes literally no one around in and an area of complete calm and out of nowhere a jogger appears masks and all...you get to the supermarket and the social events start, first people are passing out the IN door and talking and laughing and see nothing of the NO entry signs, ...you have to see them to believe it so that is why I find it humorous...hey even the kiss greetings are happening as par the norm..gotta take the mask off first though....it is the same to me as tongue in cheek...I don't drink and drive..going to just spill it..same as ....

No, not at all. Humour depends a lot on culture and differs enormously between generations, countries, social circles etc. I find none of this funny for instance
