I'm not debating that they had good gigs and at those gigs made people laugh.

I'm saying that they did some shitty things, and their problem is not what they claim - that you can't do comedy any more. Its that society moved on without them and they don't know how to be funny any more. Yes they were funny, in context, in their respective haydays, but have since

  • done a racism

If I was an Olympic figure skater arrested for robbing and killing the attendant at the gas station, it would be incorrect for me to say "Man people really hate Olympic figure skating nowadays - I guess everyone's too sensitive about skating, you just can't skate any more"
