Vaudeville brought a new type of entertainment to the stage. It embraced raunchy and at the time some what crude jokes and forms of amusement. This was the first time people were blatantly laughing at others expense and it lend to the somewhat raunchy humor of today. I see the connection between that humor in the three stooges and then later on shows like south park and movies like the interview. These forms of entertainment make somewhat controversial jokes and the more recent forms of entertainment are more relevant to the time we live in but are in the same vein of humor. This connection shows how entertainment has built on its self and the themes have connected throughout history.
