Comedy seems to go through cycles. First, comedians will try to be as shocking and offensive as possible in a bid to push the boundaries or whatever. Then people get sick of shock humor and start gravitating toward cleaner, smarter comedy. Then they have children who think that clean comedy is for old people and the cycle continues. Maybe it's because we're old, but shock humor just doesn't do it for us these days. Aaron is, shall we say, somewhat younger than the rest of us, and he's all about the clean comedy. Does this mean the cycle is broken? Has humanity's curse been lifted? Probably not.
