I don't like to call it boomer humor. That shit was funny in the 90s. For better or worse, it wasn't the jokes that changed, it was our reaction to it.
Thinking specifically of things like "Miss Swan", "The ambiguously gay duo", and "Pat". Although I think only one of those was MAD. Still, we (as in the cisfolk, at least) thought it was funny enough at the time for it to keep getting aired.
It's boomer humor now because our sense of humor matured and adapted...and theirs didn't.
