A bunch of guys making racist jokes at each other because they're friends doesn't make it automatically funny. Maybe back then it was funny to watch people comfortable enough with each other to make those jokes. Today it just seems weird. Comics today would have absolutely fricked with him about his eye, or satanic orgies. But about his race? No. Not because it's taboo, but because nobody cares.

Comedy has moved beyond that era.

Comedy is in a dark period (no pun intended) right now. I'd say it's regressed.
