Close minded are those who hate and use insults to prove that they are right. Open minded people use a smile and polite arguments to make a point. :)

He's talking about 'Oh Calcutta!'.

You're stating a personal opinion, I'm stating what I observe every night as a stand-up comedian. Things change. Old acts are replaced with new acts. What was once slang is now common vocabulary. A topic that was once taboo in the 40's, like sex is now WAY out in the open. There's nothing wrong with that. It's called evolution. Whether it's funny or not is just an opinion. Whether it's popular or not is a flat out statistic. By the way, his name is Bill COSBY.

I've seen him with Crosby he is as funny as he always was, same time as this. And he has a very valid point I feel.

I hate it when comedians take comedy too seriously. This is just another example of a comedic legend turning into an irrelevant, grumpy old man. The same thing happened to Cosby. The sense of humor these comedians once possessed turns into bitter closed mind as they watch comedy evolve without them. The only way comedy would stay the same is if society didn't change. As sex becomes more and more acceptable in society, so will it in the arts, including comedy.

Come on...lighten up. You can't be serious about my hat comment. He, himself, was joking about it. I have great respect for Groucho and his brothers.

I don't think he resents them because they are dirty or not funny. I think he resents, as most old school comedians do, because they are easy. Like he said "to tell a clean joke and get laughs, that takes a comedian". They think it cheapens the art of comedy when the word fuck is every punchline. That's just my take because I've heard other comedians talk about the subject in that light and I do agree with them. It cheapens it, not because it's dirty, but because it's easy.

Yep, and here you are, spending your time, watching Youtube while someone who can afford a 3.2 million dollar hat is usually summering in Monte Carlo. Bless your heart.

he's right - a cheap laugh is easier by being rude
