Legendary comedian Carol Burnett talked about some of the comedy that is available these days and admitted so much of it is “boring” and simply “not funny.”
Speaking on the “Variety’s Awards Circuit” podcast, the 91-year-old actress said that the shows she was part of like “The Carol Burnett Show” and others on the air at the time were “funny and character driven, they’re not scatological or blue,” Fox News reported.
“I’m not a prude, but sometimes I think some of the stuff today … it’s been kind of easy to get a laugh by being a little blue,” Burnett said. “I don’t mind if it’s within the character, but if they do it just to say a bad word, I think it’s boring, and it’s not funny.”
“Funny is ‘The Dick Van Dyke Show.’ Funny is Mary [Tyler Moore], Bob Newhart, ‘All in the Family’ – and they hold up today,’” she added.
