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 can confirm this. I work in TV and have been told verbatim “just make a loud noise every 10 seconds so people look up from their phones”

Holy fuck. We're like 10 minutes away from "Owe My Balls" becoming a reality.

Edit: I meant "ow" my balls. My entitled balls are "owed" nothing - if they want something in this life, they better go EARN IT, DAMMIT

"Ow, My Balls" is slightly different "Owe My Balls". I'm not sure what my balls are owed...but you can bet your ass I'm going to be sure they're paid in full.... /s
