To not find anything funny?

[Allmyghosts]

There doesn't seem to be anything funny anymore. Would love to be proven wrong.

I'm very similar! Cunk on Earth and Britain did raise a few chuckles from me though. 😉

This will never not be funny! 😂✊

Bradley Walsh trying to say Fanny Schmelar always cracks me up.

Watch Motherland.

Or Michael Mcintyre stand up show.

There was a thread on watching people falling over and whether it was funny or not.
Posters fairly evenly divided into those who thought it was hilarious and those who absolutely didn't.
Neither side could understand the others POV.
Perhaps finding humour in someone's discomfort/embarassment is an inborn genetic trait?

What's your sense of humour? Mine's quite dark and there's been barely anything on TV that I've found genuinely funny for years. I enjoyed Jam back in about 2000, that still feels ten years ahead of it's time even now.

Recently I've been watching a lot of "Kunt and the Gang" on Youtube, that's pretty dark but funny at the same time. I won't detail it but it's quite graphic and isn't for the easily- (or averagely-) offended, songs about his attraction to his paperboy for example (Just last week he turned sixteen, so legally it's alright).

Mainstream comedy just isn't funny anymore. It's either safe bland rubbish (Michael MacIntyre, Mrs Brown) or safe bland rubbish pretending to be edgy (mainly thinking that because it's on Channel 4 after the watershed it must be inherently clever/funny/good/edgy because traditionally stuff in that timeslot was). You have to look online and trawl through a lot of shit to get to anything that's genuinely amusing.

Rowan Atkinson's Live Show (from either the 80s or the 90s) - absolute comedy gold! Also LOVE Only Fools and Horses. It never gets old x

That's quite the insight, as someone who has (& does trip & fall more than occasionally) fallen & has a twice broken coccyx I find it mostly funny... not a nana falling & breaking her hip but just normal run-of -the -mill mishaps, it's usually funny

Comedy is funniest when it is poking fun, but that’s sort of not allowed anymore because someone might not take it as a joke. Ergo nothings funny anymore

Can you please share the link to this? :)

This sounds like the judge who somehow changed his face to a cat filter during a Zoom meeting 😂

It depends on your sense of humour, mood etc. there is genuinely funny media if that's what you mean.

I'll agree that 'comedy' on broadcast tv is shit, how tf is mrs browns boys still on? Surely no one finds that even mildly amusing.

Your example of the cleaner, well Greg Davies is a very specific kind of comedy and he does tend to get a bit serious, especially as he's getting older. The first serious was really good, but I haven't seen the second yet. I'm a big fan of Ricky Gervais but afterlife wasn't for me at all.

Michael McIntyre is about the only person I can watch on TV and genuinely laugh at. Most sitcoms just leave me cold. We recently tried Parks and Recreation and Schitts Creek on recommendations from friends and they were both absolutely terrible. I think maybe American humour doesn't do it for me but then again I couldn't stand Only Fools and Horses which people rave on as being the GOAT.

He wasn't hurt...

Fred McCauley, Stewart Frances, Fargo, Conversations from a Long Marriage, Cabin Fever, The News Quiz. Could go on and on.

Made me laugh 😁

I know @kateluvscats over a decade later... finally RTÉ is good for something!

Early Doors is on iplayer. It's packed full of brilliant jokes.

Completely agree, thought it was me, the Xmas Special of The Detectorists was when I really noticed it. Instead of being heart warming, it had a really off key undertone, and made me feel anxious. I just don’t find stuff that funny anymore. I don’t know if script writers are running scared of causing offence, or if everyone’s just a bit depressed.

Drivel like. Mrs Browns Boys and Seth Lets Flats are far removed from funny

Wtf. Do you think Mrs Brown's Boys and Stath Lets Flats are similar genres...? I don't even know where to begin with that

Where is this please? Even reading your post made me laugh!

@PogoThePunk
I love the carry on films and similar risque stuff, they have me howling with laughter no matter how many times I watch them

OMG, me too 😂I accidently recorded all the Carry On films over Christmas - good times!
See also The Two Ronnies, Benny Hill and Vicar of Dibley.

I think I need to read the one about accidentally tagging herself as a baby, I have done the accidental ex-boyfriend Facebook tag as well. 'Thankfully' it was just on the face of the new girlfriend posing with him on holiday somewhere exotic

Dying here! oh my god the horror & I say this as someone who tags or screenshots the wrong person way too frequently

A lot of today's so called comedy is about as funny as a tooth accessory ( no offence to anyone with a tooth abcess😉)
The funniest ones I have seen nowadays is the Scots one Two doors Down, The Cockfields and Mandy.
Reeling back a few years I loved Outnumbered, Miranda , The Vicar of Dibley, Keeping up appearances.
Going back even further there was Georga An Mildred, Man about the house, On the buses , are you being served. They wouldn't stand up to todays expectations of political correctness by my god they were funny 😆😆
