Ruminations on 80s humour

Stuff I noticed watching a comedy tape I used to watch when very young:
Rowan Atkinson is not good to watch a certain of in a different show. Apparently, he uses perfect pitch to deliver his jokes "perfectly" so two performances sound and are timed exactly the same.
80s humour had a lot of farting and much less complicated sexual humour in it. People heckled throughout, even in huge shows.
French, Saunders, Atkinson, Fry, Henry, Connely and Elton got funnier over time.
My parents did not monitor what I was watching at the age of maybe 4 or 5 very well.
