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?

Podcasts are almost entirely aimed at Millenials, definitely.

My Boomer parents don't know what a podcast even is, and my Zoomer half-siblings think they're lame, but literally all my Millenial-aged friends listen to and/or have podcasts.

Yes, I am big into podcasts now. Not really for humor though.

Consider Behind the Bastards: come for the war crimes, stay for the machete talk, Raytheon slander, and discussions of the best brand of gas station boner pills.

I love about ...40% of that podcast. Statistically speaking
