You do know this is a comedy routine right?

It's got a nice meta-joke in it too. He's adopting the persona of the back-in-my-day nostalgist, to argue that in the past, things were better because people appreciated how much worse things were in the past.

It's actually an interview. And he's acting as a humorist, not a comedian. So I think the criticism is somewhat valid.

When comedians go on late-night shows they work bits of their material into the interview. This is a bit -- he's said elsewhere that the guy in the story is him.
