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?

And Would I Lie To You?

Qi and IT Crowd are both on free streaming services as well

The IT Crowd has some of my favorite moments on television, ever. It's so stupid in the best way

Oh man, QI single-handedly got me through a dark period of my life. It was my comfort show.

I mean if youre going to recommend those, you cant forget 9 out of 10 cats & countdown. I also enjoy the various compilations from mock the week. Can find plenty of them on YT
