The sustained descent into depravity depicted through the degradation of wit:
"And not just not witty but obscene, which is particularly disturbing because it was broadcast on network television, not cable television.
But more than anything, it exemplified a trend in American life that one could identify without any exaggeration as the unravelling of civil society. To anyone -- liberal or conservative -- who grew up watching Johnny Carson on late-night TV, the descent from Carson to Colbert is as breathtaking as it is heartbreaking." [D Prager]
