>Personally I'm mostly offended how stale and unoriginal a lot of these jokes are
It's CBS. The channel for old people on a medium for old people.
>I dare you to show that scene at a liberal college and notice how few laughs you get.
Yes, and? Everyone thinks they like 'irreverent' comedy until it violates the wrong proprieties. "On the way out of fashion" is a flavor of subversive comedy, often targeted at different audiences than "on the way into fashion" flavor of subversive comedy.
The people old enough to watch CBS are from a generation where they and their friends can exchange jokes at the expense of eachother's lineal stereotypes without it being inherently toxic. I just let them have their laughs, it seems pretty harmless.
