I think Whose Line is It Anyway & the content at Dropout is definitely in line with Sketch comedy without props & high content. Family Guy tosses out little skit gags every so often. I think high production stuff died down because KZbin changed how they pay & you basically need to produce weekly. If anything is to blame, it’s increasingly CEO driven media & how that crowd hates criticism, and being mocked.

I was a little surprised Tom didn't mention College Humor because that is a great example of a group that was almost entirely sketch comedy that had to pivot away from it entirely to stay commercially viable.

Ooh! This is super interesting! Sketch comedies are by FAR, my favourite! Still watching, so it's probably covered, but feel like some people have this assumption that sketch comedies HAVE to be offensive to one group or another. Some of the best sketches parody people or concepts that don't or physically couldn't possibly exist in the real world. Just because the likes of Little Britain might have some pretty dated jokes, doesn't mean we need to ditch the whole genre. My favourite show of all time was That Mitchell and Webb Look and I highly recommend it to everyone and anyone.

[@gagglegames]

And even Mitchell and Webb had a blackface sketch. Hell, they had two of them!

[@maniraptavia4008]

@gagglegames Yeah, I'm not saying that any of them were perfect, but I AM saying that sketches don't need to be problematic to be funny. IMO, the problematic ones never were great. The funniest ones tend to be the ones that can be enjoyed by everyone. But just because the odd bum sketch happens here or there doesn't mean the whole genre needs to be discontinued.

The thing that has struck me as I've gotten older (and older...and older) is how temporary things are. There are so many things that felt fundamental, or "taken for granted" which, in hindsight, I just happened to be born in the window in which they existed. And in some cases, things which came into being and subsequently vanished during my lifetime. Obviously, there are a lot of technological things - home phones and phone books, TV schedules, cable television, video game rentals, etc. But also cultural things like shopping malls and large specialty retailers like Toys'R'Us. And looking at it that way, it's easier to see the writing on the wall for other things that aren't gone, but are probably on their way out, like the Internal Combustion Engine, movie theaters, antibiotics, private insurance and home ownership. It also makes me appreciate the fact that there are things I'm alive to experience, like Thomas "TomSka" Ridgewell and his wacky hijinks. (I was checking the spelling of Thomas and Wikipedia says you're a _former_ animator? There's another window closed, I guess.)

The biggest [recent] change really has been people no longer consistently watching television, but I know (myself at least) that I far prefer your sketch comedy (of medium length and comedic style) in comparison to Comedy Films or Shorts/Vines/TikToks or Sketch Shows like ITYSL/SNL.

I think that the format and the trends of comedy are not one and the same, as much as they inform one another. The current popular trends might be for budgetless relatable comedy, but while I agree budgetless is part of the form factor of tiktok, relatability will come and go.

[@PrincessFelicie]

There's also an argument to be made that comedy is still alive and well on KZbin, it just abandoned the sketch format in favor of edutainment. Look at Brian David Gilbert, Defunctland, Half as Interesting, Kyle Doormonster's recent videos... Or, you know. Tomska & Friends.
