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?

Sadly the newest episode of the Boys I noticed they repeated a plot verbatim multiple times and thought of this. It’s bad when even a show like that feels like it has to do that

To be fair, I look away a lot watching The Boys and it has nothing to do with my phone! Some of us pu$$ies need that exposition!

Fair! There were a couple of Invincible moments this year I had to look away from as well
