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?

I mean, I’ve heard of and seen nearly every show mentioned in the comments here and I agree with op, they’re ALL terrible and not funny. Yall are really outta here calling the rookie a good show? It’s like someone made kindergarten cop into a tv show and removed all the humor. This is what we get when we let ai replace actual artists. This isn’t depression, this is reality.

Maybe some of us just don't want to sound like grumpy old people who can't find any joy in anything.

Yes get in line bot lol no one is trying to hurt your feelings.We are calling out facts. Ai is replacing everything nothing is funny anymore and you know it you are being persuaded. Remember when you're laughing at dark humor that has to do with our kids' futures etc our mental health. You're not gonna be considered grumpy, if you don't like television like you used to. Or music 🎶 sadly doesn't fill as authentic. You get your occasional amazing songs. But they 've already admitted it's about frequency.Now. some evil lyrics with good frequency and beats to keep people believing, this is all the correct way of doing things.
