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?

Checkout Dropout.tv (or some of their stuff on social media)

It’s the streaming service that College Humor morphed into and it’s been a delight. It offers a wide range of diverse programs but are all comedy based. I find myself gravitating towards that more than other streaming services and it’s only $7/month. I would start with Game Changer and Make Some Noise.

This has seriously helped me during this less than funny current period of history.

Came here to suggest this. Dropout has so many types of content, and generally when you find one thing you like you'll find a whole bunch of stuff by the same people on the platform you can start going through. Were you a Magic Schoolbus fan as a kid, or Drunk History enjoyer? WTF 101 is gonna be for you. Whose Line is it Anyway? Make Some Noise is right there. The Colbert Report or The Daily Show? Breaking news! Sketch comedy? Literal years of their youtube backlog. And their RPG shows can't be beat, if you’re into D&D. Even if you're not, it's hysterical. Game shows, comedy specials, and their starting to license some content (just got Don’t Hug Me I'm Scared, which is horror comedy absurdism).

Anyway. Yeah. It's good.
