    Comedy is changing to fast in our culture. They can’t keep up with meme culture

    That s*** is so obviously staged

    Who cares most comedy’s are?

    I rarely find a traditional comedy movie funny at all, dark comedies way better imo

    Idk if The Nice Guys really counts as a comedy movie, but that was the last legitimately hilarious movie I've seen in a good minute.

    good example of modern comedy movie tbh

    cant be straight comedy has to be mixed with something else that makes you wonder if it was a comedy or not

    Why not? I don’t remember anything in that movie that would make it hard to get made

    They said f****t a lot in that movie plus just talking about getting p**** and getting their d***s wet the way they did idk maybe wrong

    They try but they're just never funny. The Nice Guys is probably the best comedy I've seen in theatre. Vice and the Big Short were pretty funny but not as funny as TNG.

    Game Night was surprisingly good too.

    IMO Crowe and Gosling were just incredible in TNG. Hilarious movie. I really loved The Big Short too, as a guy in finance I found it quite accurate and funny. I had forgot about the Wolf of Wall Street but yeah, another great movie.

    But I've never been one for s***ty cheap comedies of the 2000s. I saw a guy post a big list of older comedies and I only found one of those kinda funny, the Other Guys and maybe 4 total were good imo.

    I think it's the mood of the political climate OP, like how Zoolander flopped because it was released on 9/11

    a lot of comedy movies mid on repeat viewings.
    Some of them never get old though.

    The genre is better left in the past to me though.
    We have more potential for more unique movies to be made leaving it there.

    A quality comedy movie is hard to make. One that is profitable is even harder

    Comedies and Romantic movies have been bombing for years so now they dont even go to theaters anymore. They're all on demand movies or TV shows now

  • Mar 2, 2020

    I guess I agree

    Thought I was gonna get flamed fr this thread being “cynical” r something I guess in 2020 the most pure form of humor & social commentary is obscure ig explore meme pages drenched in irony
