Hollywood comedy is often atrocious and lacking any kind of personality. Glorified laugh track comedy without the laugh track.
You may get funny moments in a story but they are quite often unintentional.
Most tv shows are even worse. Laugh track shows are just not funny. Which is the whole point of a laugh track, it's the last ditch effort to make you laugh at a joke. Remove the track and it is extremely cringe inducing.
I rarely laugh at many comedians these days. At least at all of their material. They may have the odd bit that may make me laugh.
I'm finding the lesser known comedians on the circut to be much funnier. |

I love weird humour. British humour is great. Dry, witty, a bit sarcastic and awkward.
I recently watched a comedy called Extraordinary and the humour was right up my street. Genuinely hilarious. |

It's on Disney plus.
It's about a world where everyone has a superpower. I know that sounds a bit shit but honestly it wasn't what I expected at all. I think it’s the first show I've laughed out loud at multiple times per episode in a loooooong time. |

My favourite comedy is stuff usually done by Black people I have to admit. Shows like Boondocks, My wife and kids and nowadays things like Abbott Elementary, Atlanta etc. I used to love films with Eddie Murphy, Cedric the entertainer, Ice cube etc. I grew up loving that shit.
But also I love peep show, the office and IT Crowd. |

TV series, short episodes about 25 mins so you'll fly through it in no time. |

I like pretty much all humour - slapstick to high brow. In fact, I only watch comedies/action/thriller films and movies - no drama or romance for me (not unless they're dual genre at least). All time favourite would probably be Airplane! The only thing I'm not a fan of is tons of swearing or anything too vulgar/sensitive (which some stand-up is imo). |

I like any kind of humour, but my favourite stuff is quite dry, sarcastic and full of wit and observational. John Richardson and James Caster are some of my favourite comedians although I don't like American comics that much as I don't really find their stuff relatable which is what I love in comedy. Although I do love American sitcoms like Frasier, Friends, HIMYM, and Brooklyn 99.
I can't stand shock humour though. Dark humour is fine but if you intend to shock people by punching down, it's just crass and lazy and you're a crap comic. *Cough* Ricky Gervais *cough* |

"HiGNFY can make me laugh very hard. "
Good call, I just yelled 'Hignfy!' out loud on the train and the tickety man just giggled and walked on by without checking my ticket.
...might also be an invisibility spell, I'll do some further research

I have a silly spoof side too. E.g. idiocracy, airplane, Life of Brian. That's more giggles than creasing double with laughter though. |

Frankie Boyle’s monologues are brilliant, I loved his TV show when he used to make Miles Jupp laugh. Andrew Lawrence too, the way they craft words is a joy.
John Finnemore makes me laugh, so does Rich Hall, probably because they’re really intelligent and still funny. I like that a lot. |
