The show had been around long enough that most of the original writers had moved on and the tone of the show and its humor had changed. They would ruin long established elements and characters just for a cheap laugh. It was less satirical and more zany. They were drowning in Emmys for their clever writing in previous seasons and now they tell the kind of jokes you'd hear in two broke girls.
