OT: Movies/TV Shows

sitcoms always sucked to be fair.

Seinfeld and Simpsons did break the mold tho.

Considering the woke mind virus. Simpsons was rated 14+ when I was young. Now it is G rated on replay.

Ya I just mean comedies in general. What was the last great comedy movie? Superbad?

MacGruber, 21Jump Street, Bridesmaids were decent I guess (early 2010's). Popstar was pretty funny (2016).

Barbie actually made me, unexpectedly, laugh out loud a bunch.

That's pretty slim pickings, and basically nothing recent.

American Fiction was actually pretty funny.

Abbott Elementary is Parks and Rec but in a Black Urban Philly Grade School.

Ghosts is pretty good. Both the British version and the American.

the problem is you go back at old comedies and most of them aren't funny either.

The jokes only hit a few times. After that, meh. Tried to rewatch Old School recently and hard meh.

Abbot Elementary was funny I think...to be fair I haven't watched that much of it.

I am sure that political correctness has run amok, the pendulum is at full swing here...I'm hoping it will simmer down.

In the meantime, I feel like the pc that has taken over comedy is offset by the hatred that is in full view off-set.

Well ya, jokes aren't really as funny the second time.

I imagine this holds true for a lot of Will Ferrell cinema

Macgruber is

Macgruber is

Lol

I will always find Something About Mary funny. Same with Superbad.

 

[Habspatrol]

What We Do In The Shadows was a brilliant comedy. As good as the movie was, the series is even better.

 

[JackBurton]

Step Brothers was amazing.

 

[Slinger 48]

Step Brothers was amazing.

Amazingly stupid.

Macgruber is a classic. OMG I laughed so hard. Funniest SNL film ever.
"The Dictator" did have me laugh out-loud at one joke harder than any film in years.

The Deadpool franchise is hilarious. Ted and Ted 2 are both great. The Death of Stalin was good, and so was Look Who's Back.

Woody Allen was really hilarious before he got serious and dated his step daughter

Funnier than the Blues Brothers? I very much doubt it.

Back in 1977 I had zero interest in seeing Star Wars. I wanted to see Annie Hall.

And this is still true today.
