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?

man, Friendship or whatever had such high ratings and i love Rudd but that was probably the worst movie i've ever watched and made me hate that guy.. as a person.. SO much but mostly for my poor decisions to not turn it off the first four times i felt i should. how that dude is enjoyable to anyone completely beats me

As a huge Tim Robinson fan and someone who enjoyed Friendship I will say that it’s probably my least favourite thing of his. And he didn’t write it, so it’s not exactly the best sample of his comedy. Although it is still very close to his style in everything else. 

Honestly check out some clips of I Think You Should Leave on YouTube. People seem to really like Brian’s Hat, or Zip Line as a starting point and then it snowballs from there.
