As for dialogue content, in addition to those traditional scripts that still sound fresh after a hundred listenings, some people have begun to offer up new creations in step with current times. And the language employed is no longer Beijing Mandarin with its heavily retroflexed consonants. In recent years, comic dialogues have imperceptibly gone through an unprecedented metamorphosis--they are now often recited in local dialects.
至於內容，除了讓人百聽不厭的傳統段子，也有人致力創作符合時代脈動的新作；而語言，更不再非滿口卷舌的京片子，近年來相聲不覺間又經歷了一次變貌，那就是用方言說相聲。
