Totally agree, all comedy is subjective, but what we don't want to be getting into here is labelling people uneducated because of what they listen to.

Similarly, like any review you need to listen to an entire episode / read the whole book to evaluate it properly.

When the Life of Brian came out it was widely panned by critics as claimimng it was about the life of christ. This was fuelled by a number of critics at a preview showing watching the 1st 5 minutes and storming out. They therefore missed the clear distinction where Brian and Jesus are differentiated.

Similalry you could watch 3 minutes of Fawlty Towers and go "Whats funny about a man hitting a car with a twig".
