I'm puzzled by this take. Just because we don't have daredevils like Buster Keaton letting houses fall on top of them doesn't mean physical comedy is dead.
Someone in the thread has already pointed out Kaitlin Olson's excellent work on IASIP and I'd second her with a recommendation for The Mick. Similarly, there's the wonderful Inside No. 9, which often features great physical performances (not all episodes are comedy though.)
Just because we don't see it as often doesn't mean it's dead. The trends ebb and flow but good physical comedy still exists.
