Every joke now feels like it was the first draft.

Before they would spend months crafting storylines, refining jokes, now a “And… and then Cartman eats Kyle… and Kyle’s cereal!” or “Make sure Kathleen Kennedy is not under my bed” is considered top tier writing.

Before the jokes were topical and diverse. Now it’s the same “handyman know more, so funny” joke over and over for 40 minutes.
