The following piece of stand-up comedy from 2017 is funny in two ways.

First, the original premise of the skit is still funny in itself, even if it has dated badly – very badly.

Second, that datedness now adds a second layer of humour because now we get to laugh at John Mulaney as well as laughing with him, because whose the stupid one now?

Before watching it let me also say that I still like John Mulaney. Yeah, he’s just another Entertainment Lefty who hates Trump but almost all of them are and besides that he does offer funny commentary on other things – such as the clip below this one about his university debt one about Bill Clinton, all three coming from his “Comeback Kid” show in 2017.
