I totally get being too offended to enjoy it but I don’t think it’s particularly accurate to claim it only has a narrow audience, it is literally one of the most valuable franchises on television in part because it targets a large swathe in the middle. (Despite what the internet would have us believe, I think there is a large group of folks in the middle who can laugh at the craziness on both the Left and Right.)

I’m reminded of my mom’s stance on rap and hip hop, which is essentially, it might be really good and a valid form of art but there’s just too much vulgarity and misogyny for her to ever enjoy it, which is fair.

But, comedy is subjective. When I look back at the last few years, the specials over the last half decade, I come to quite the opposite conclusion, there are great episodes with an occasional dud but a hit ratio higher than most shows currently on air and a “oooh, that’s an interesting take” miles beyond anything else.
