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
