Nope lol. Was still on the playground pretending to be power rangers while hoping I got a Super Nintendo for my birthday
You're part of the problem if you think that's all comedy is or has the potential to be

It really just depends on the talent moreso. Audiences have a keen eye for knowing what to expect whether the budget is big like Marvel or small.
This also filters out the trash that was played in theaters to appease the metoo ppl like Charlie's angels and oceans 8. I guarantee you a real sequel to oceans 13 would make bank or a Beverley hills cop movie.

Oceans 8 was a hit homie. And Beverly Hills cop sequel is going straight to Netflix.

You'd be hard pressed to find someone born after 1999 who knows of any Mel Brooks films, any Naked Gun films, and maybe even Airplane.
The good ol days....

Yeah, trends change but let's not kid ourselves. It's not like every movie pre-2010 was raising the bar.
The OP talked about wanting the 2000s flicks with Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn etc. They did great work but they also made a bunch of bad movies.
Envy, Starsky & Hutch, Night at the Museum, The Heartbreak Kid, Duplex, The Marc Pease Experience, Bewitched, Kicking & Screaming, Land of the Lost, Made, The Break-Up, Fred Claus, Four Christmases, Couples Retreat and these are just the clunkers they were the lead or co-lead in and I stopped at 2010.
That time was also a low for comedies on TV
I'd rather have the last 10 years of TV and movies in terms of comedy over the 2000-2010 period
I don't know what you mean by new cats but you'd be hard-pressed to find many posters on The Coli that have seen more movies, old and new, than me and @HHR

I was born in the 70's, and I have an unpopular opinion on this:
If you've never seen Blazing Saddles, it's not funny AT ALL if you watch it for the first time right now. I didn't see Blazing Saddles until the 90's and the only laughs I got out of it were the "Bugs' Bunny"-style antics (e.g. Mungo).
I grew up watching "Airplane!", so that movie pretty much defined my idea of what a "comedy" movie should be. To me, Blazing Saddles is nothing compared to Airplane!. I think you really had to "be there" (as in, old enough to watch the movie first run) to get it.
And it's not like I don't appreciate Mel Brooks. I can watch these scenes from "History of the World Part 1" and laugh out loud at every clip:
I'm actually watching this and actively trying not to laugh, and I can't help myself.
When I watch scenes from Blazing Saddles, I just groan now.
Born in 89 and I think Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein are two of the funniest movies of all time

But do you actually LAUGH when you watch Blazing Saddles? Or is it more like you smile and appreciate the social commentary? I do laugh at Young Frankenstein, but not so much at Blazing Saddles.
I'm being to hard on it when I say its not funny at all. But I'm not exaggerating when I say I don't actually laugh at it. I guess I can say the same thing about "Dr Strangelove". I can appreciate that its a great movie, but there are only a few actual laughs in it.

comedy used to be an extension of poor/working class neighborhoods.....thats where the eddie murphys, the rodney dangerfield & joe pesci in easy money, thats where all that sh1t came from.....goodfellas is one of the all time goat comedies.....
none of these new guys even have a delivery......back in the days you could do an impression of redd foxx, jackie mason, whoever....do an impression of a modern day comedian, you can't....they're all nondescript yuppies.....
that justin bieber/tmz movie is Horrible....only Yuppies care about that kind of stuff so a parody is just pointless....
