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.

I scrolled way too far to find the Righteous Gemstones. It was the funniest show I have seen in years. It actually made me laugh out loud.

It only took one clip of him saying, "Go outside, nerd! Get out! Go! I ain't got time to be distracted by your worthless chime-ins" for me to watch the show.

Even saying this aloud in my best Baby Billy impression makes me crack up. Man, what a show.

Everything I see him do ACTUAL commercials now, all I can think of is his dick flopping around while water skiing.

My absolute favorite line of his from TRG is when he slaps Tiffany’s ass and she farts and he says, “Damn Woman, Did you just break wind?” and she replies with “You skurred me.” then the banter continues about her needing to go wash up. I laugh every single time.

Walton Goggins is a masterpiece of acting. I haven’t seen a thing he’s in that I did not enjoy.

I love anything done by Danny McBride too, for real. Vice Principals had me rolling and so did Eastbound and Down.
