It wasn't 'turn off your brain' entertainment.
The jokes are densely packed and not always obvious. And you're not getting [whether 'getting' as understanding, or as even observing] the jokes, it's a disjointed mess.
Also, the original aired pre- the days of internet chatting, GIFing up, and social media, all of which would serve as an outlet for water cooler talk taken worldwide, or where the jokes some might have missed are explained.
