Right. And it may be valid to say that he was more justifiable while he was alive--I'm not sure how much of his humor has become standard because of him, but it wasn't that long ago, and there's nothing left in it now. It's old, overdone, and trying-too-hard-to-be-in-your-face.
I remember seeing some joke where he kept saying, "I'm serious. I'm not joking. Stop laughing, this isn't a joke." And it was a joke, but he went on like that forever. I get the point, but I don't think it's clever.
I feel the same way about the original SNL cast. I'm sure they were funny back then, but I can't even force a laugh from where I'm at. Biased or not, I can't really see it.
