Yes, I would say my comedy is grunge, evidenced by the fact my jokes have put an end to big-hair glam comedy.
Meaning of the quote
The comedian Joel McHale is saying that his style of comedy is like grunge music, which is a type of rock music that became popular in the 1980s and 1990s. He explains that his jokes have ended the popularity of a different type of comedy that he calls "big-hair glam comedy," which was a more flashy and over-the-top style of comedy. In other words, McHale's more gritty and raw comedy has replaced the more polished and glamorous comedy that was popular before.
