Nah, I can watch skits from the 70s and 80s, before I was born, and find them humorous. Hell, Steve Martin and Martin Short also just starred in a wildly popular Hulu series as senior citizens. While it was funny when I was 15 too, it has been absolute garbage for 10+ years. This is just some pathetic line he’s trotted out to gloss over the fact that he’s lost his knack for producing good work.
There is plenty of great sketch comedy being made (just look at the popularity and memes from Tim Robinson’s work), just not anywhere in Lorne Michaels’ orbit.
There have been plenty of great sketches in the last 15 years, like many of Adam Driver's, and Weekend Update with Colin and Michael is really good, especially when they swap jokes.
The 15 year olds of today are going to say the same thing in 10 years though. I don't think it really was that great when we were 15, we only think it was.
