You can say there’s something seriously wrong with me because I don’t do comedies
Or maybe comedies aren’t actually funny

@farah Maybe you just have a difference sense of humor than the people who gatekeep what comedies get shown in mainstream media. And that's okay. I personally don't find American comedies all that funny either.
@farah not even Mel Brooks?
Not even “Young Frankenstein”?
Come sit next to me. Few, very few then and even fewer now, Hollywood comedies are very funny. 🤗
The last comedy that I liked was probably Brooklyn 99 but I never watched the last two seasons.
@farah so valid. I suspect, in my case at least, that neurodivergence plays strongly into my nonappreciation of what many, many others laugh at, that is to say i do laugh but its rarely at the same moments as other people, so your claim that comedies arent funny may hold some water, if only subjectively. Also ive been told that im funny, but my observations suggest that the thing others are laughing at is me personally, not the jokes i make.
That said, as someone who also generally dislikes but wants to like comedies, I really enjoyed the first season of The Great North, also an older but less known show I still routinely giggle at is Better Off Ted... but yeah, so many comedies are just... not funny to me, an ostensibly funny person
@Irenetherogue Yes I can relate to this. One of my oldest friends once told me, I had a dry sense of humor. I don’t really know what that means. I laugh at a lot of stuff that are not marketed as funny. I suspect neurodivergence, in my case too
@farah Captain Raymond Holt. That is all.
