    If you want to keep happy memories, never rewatch a comedy special older than 10 years. It’s incredible how fast most jokes age.

      I think there are some big exceptions. For example- Robin Williams at the Met was an amazing show and is still extremely funny.

      Some are timeless, I can watch Burns and Allen routines and they are still hilarious. Topical humor is very of-its-time though.
