Clearly he was a more conservative guy if you listen to his interviews later in life closely (or sometimes not so closely, like his LGBTQ riff at HuffPo) but he also wasn't every really attacking people. Even some of his favorite jokes that you can see him workshopping nervous as hell on Dennis Miller Live, you get this sense that he just finds existence so confusing he can't help but crack jokes about stuff he can't relate to. When you really go down the Norm binge, you notice he actually told different versions of the same jokes fairly often, so as he got older what came off as "conservative" was sometimes just stuff he found funny that society at large didn't anymore...and he couldn't be bothered to care.
Whereas Carolla has been actively burning bridges with guys who you'd imagine are largely sympathetic to his cause like Bill Simmons and even Kimmel because he's just got such an axe to grind about how hard it is to make cock in your mouth jokes anymore. And Norm would just rather tell his oral fixation joke again and not be all that bothered if he's the only one that finds it funny.
