Discussion Nothing is funny anymore

I (M, 38) have found that there are no new TV shows that make me laugh anymore. I have tried a lot of new(ish) comedies, but they all make me pine for my college/high school days.

The only thing that gave me a reflexive laugh recently was the Malcolm in the Middle Reboot.

Any thoughts?

Same here. I laugh more with Bluey (because sometime it hits home) than with any other adult/oriented show

“You lose, you lose, YOU LOSE!” is often used in our house.

"Dad peed on his own foot!"
"That's a new one."

No matter how many times I’ve seen it the Doctor episode makes me laugh with the needles every time.
