That doesn't always happen, because if the end result is really labored away on, then it lasts the test of time, at least to some degree. South Park is actually a good example, where even as it's no longer the most offensive thing out there, you can still get a big kick out of Season 3 because they were putting in some genuinely brilliant jokes.

People shouldn't be downvoting you simply for disagreeing. Back on Topic: But as you said, I don't think we disagree all that much, though I do feel that brilliance or genius can be attributed to something that is extremely funny at first, but may diminish in strength over time. Indeed, I have a feeling that perhaps the funniest stuff (laughing out loud and peeing your pants funny) is the stuff that eventually gets old, because it becomes overused.
