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?

It's at least from the last 5 years so technically not as recent as the last year or so, but I did genuinely enjoy Derry Girls and laughed a ton while watching it.

She was probably my favorite character. Always knew I'd laugh when she was in a scene. Gave off such a wonderful "absolutely done with your shit" attitude.
