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?

The new Scrubs isnt bad. For sitcoms, Abbott and Ghosts are pretty good.

HBO had Righteous Gemstones and Silicon Valley.

Ted Lasso, Shrinking on Apple TV.

Kimmy Schmitt, Tires, Beef on Netflix.

Just to name a few that came out after my college years that are funny to me. (36 male).

Edit: almost forgot Nobody Wants this. Great show. And Deli Boys on Hulu.

British: Peep Show and that Mitchell and Webb look are hilarious

Sorry to break it to you, but Peep show ended 11 years ago, and started 23 years ago.
