Nope. There's plenty of humor around, but for whatever reason you don't want to see it.
A lot of humor is inherently mean, but certainly not all of it. However most humor does have something to do with our reactions to disappointment, surprise, hypocrisy, failure, or imperfection of some kind. There are probably exceptions to that rule I just made up, but I haven't come up with them yet.
Mickey Rooney: I was the number one star! Bang! IN THE WORLD! YOU HEAR ME!? In 1965, I called Warner Bros. and I said, "This is Mickey Rooney. I need a job." The bastard hung up on me.
#1: In "The Attila the Hun Show" I think they were critiquing the 'comical servant' roles for black actors in old American movies and sitcoms, but I can see how people could say that they didn't succeed. I think that scene was censored when Python was last shown on A&E and PBS in the late 90's.

Entire buildings moving around? Better keep a lookout for the Crimson Permanent Assurance…
In the USA there used to be a series of detailed local county-level map atlases called the Thomas Guides, which were essential for any sort of driving job. In the age of Garmin GPS and iPhones I wonder if they still exist.

Not so long ago, maybe 50 or 60 years ago, virtually all medical doctors were male. The very idea of a female doctor was considered a bit absurd, almost an affront to polite society and the "natural order of things". If you had been around back then no doubt you would have tried to tell us this yourself.
Silicon Valley doesn't do "history", dude! They're too busy shifting bleeding edge paradigms and disrupting platforms to worry about all that dusty cobwebby stuff from the olden days! They're too busy "moving forward" to look back!
Satya Nadella got in trouble for suggesting at some conference that women should "trust the system" and wait patiently for raises instead of asking for them. He did walk that back and apologize.
I like it for privacy and anti-"bubbling" purposes but the results are noticeably worse than Google or Bing, especially for image searches.
This isn't Russia. Is this Russia? This isn't Russia.
The assumption that English or arts degrees are inherently shameful, the obsession with the idea that math solves all problems and if a problem can't be solved with math, then it isn't really a problem after all … he's probably one of those neckbeards who really believes that Silicon Valley is the only worthwhile…
