He was considered funny in the 90's because Boomers and Gen Xers dominated the TV market. He put a new spin on a very old and tired form of comedy. That of the squeaky clean, mundane and apolitical observational act. Boomers and Gen Xers were too cynical to admit they enjoyed the exact same comedy about "airline food" and other cliché idiosyncrasies as their parents and memed that the show was about "nothing".
