"Excess and over the top" - is that a joke?

"It seems that Excess and Over The Top Humor is considered funny these days. Why do comedians...even the stand-up variety...feel they have to exert themselves verbally and physically to make a point ?"

Ummm, when WASN'T Excess and Over The Top Humor considered funny? Physical exertion - it's called slapstick and it's as old as comedy itself.

Laurel and Hardy, The Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, the Marx Brothers, etc., etc. . .
