What happened to the comedy trademark?

Comedians once embraced a signature quip or look, so why have such tropes fallen out of favour?

James Kettle, The Guardian, 7th August 2017

Unabashedly poking fun at celebrities and the frenzied culture surrounding them, Channel 4's satire gave "true" accounts of the lives of the tabloids' favourite figures from the Noughties. Their surreal takes on the stories of Take That and Jennifer Aniston are particularly enjoyable.

Radio Times review

Certain glossy magazines just can't stop speculating about Jennifer Aniston's love life. Oh, poor Jen, they wonder, will she ever find happiness after Brad Pitt? Is she still engaged to Justin Theroux? When are they going to marry? Is he scared of commitment? Is this really anyone's business?

So how far will Graham Norton go tonight when Aniston perches on the sofa with Jason Bateman to discuss their new film, Horrible Bosses 2? The frenzy that constantly surrounds Aniston's romantic life has always fogged the fact that she's an estimable light comic actress. Sadly, she's made some rubbish films since Friends ended, and judging by its trailer, Horrible Bosses 2 won't be a twinkling diamond on her CV.

Making a return visit is the mighty Dame Judi Dench, who'll be talking about her book, Behind the Scenes, and Olly Murs will sing his new single.

Threesome played like a dodgy Jennifer Aniston romcom

Threesome goes slightly over-the-top with wackiness and acting, causing some of the best lines of the script to vanish at times.
