Old jokes that comedians don't do anymore.  My take is that audiences are tighter on a lot of this material but also some of it reflects the comedian's growth from neurosis and not being ashamed of things that used to be shameful.  I have done stand-up in the past but I don't think I could do it today, based on reading this.  My sensibilities are too far off the scale.  I don't *say* "midget" but I don't find it offensive either.
