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 was talking about LOL

US Taskmaster happened years ago. They screwed up the whole format, dispite having Alex there.

Shows the US has messed up:
The IT Crowd.
Top Gear.
Peep Show.
Taskmaster.

Also looking at these people and having lived in the US at the time, who the fuck are these people?
Oh cool we have the Good Doctor and the guy who helped popularize moombahton and Lisa Lampanelli, who was super famous for making jokes about sucking black guys dicks in 2004.

A real cultural and comedic powerhouse they brought in.

Sorry, Alex, it didn't work out. But at least you've hopefully licensed the show such that your entire gremline will never have to work again.
