Well I don't think this is entirely true. Sketch shows were around long before LB.
British comedy is only seen in the state you claim it is if your view of it is through the traditional (and now very dated) studio sitcom. That's not where you're going to find the quality. That's where you'll find traditional and safe/nostalgic comedy.
It's like complaining music is dead because you don't like the top 40. Broaden your horizons.
