I'd take more of this over family guy any day. Man the popular demand has bad taste.

comedy is not zero sum, you can have two things.

Budgets exist, we can't shoot every show. So yeah.. its not a zero sum game but its got a ceiling and it's not that high. Especially when nowadays even reality TV trash like Mr Beast Games has a budget of $100 million.

but they literally just released a new Naked Gun movie, and you have Wayan Bros, Sacha Baron Cohen, Chris Morris, Jordan Peele, Armando Iannuci, Parker/Stone, Rogen/Franco, Ben Stiller, Edgar Wright, Steve Coogan, Charlie Brooker... as modern satirists with strong visual styles that play on genre as a medium.
