England v USA today, loser has to keep James Corden
James needs to capitalize on the fact that he's an a******. Him and Ellen both f***ed up on that.
England v USA today, loser has to keep James Corden
Graham Norton is a billion times funnier and we get saddled with that clown and John Oliver. Take them back
I'm not trying to debate. Just interested in a discussion. The responses don't even have to be immediate.
We both know the reasons comedy movies are in a drought atm social media shortening attention spans and raising performative morality, the death of the mid-budget movie and the usurpation of screwball comedy by the MCU in the middle of Phase 2 but you said it wasn't debatable that mainstream comedy is dead. I'm curious if you mean that there hasn't been a "big funny movie" like Girls Trip or Good Boys that commanded attention in the zeitgeist or if it was some other reason you were thinking of.
I feel like we’re on the same page here so I don’t get what’s to discuss. Like I’m seriously not trying to be an a******, I just don’t know what to add.
It's been so long since I've seen a new comedy that I liked or even remembered. I think Bridesmaids was the last one?

John Oliver never had any kind of success here so he's only annoying for me when we I see little clips pop up on twitter and think "oh this f***ing guy again". Most people here probably haven't got a clue who he is

I was howling at some parts of Banshees of Inisherin but wouldn't call it an outright comedy

Popstar was good. It's made by The Lonely Island.

I feel like we've cycled back to the '60s where Hollywood comedy is entirely irrelevant to the youth while the stand-ups and television are getting laughs. Only difference is the '60s had Jerry Lewis while we have... Kevin Hart?
I want to know if you think comedy movies can "come back" without theaters being the main outlet for them. Some people hope the recent horror renaissance in theaters can be replicated for comedy.

The Nice Guys with Gosling and Crowe was a classic
even In Bruges is a stretch
Nah that's a classic comedy off Ray Fiennes alone

Grand Budapest was very funny
Four Lions priceless
The Favorite and A Serious Man in their darkly comic way

YOU'RE A CLASSIC F***ING COMEDY OFF RALPH FIENNES ALONE

These and the Nice Guys kinda proves Fidelio's point though, they're all basically 10 years old now

Nice Guys is 6
Rise was bringing up 11 year old Bridesmaids
But yeah I'm sure I could think of something newer

Anything over 5 years old is basically 10 years old that's just how years work
There’s still successful comedies out there financially. But none of em been funny since the Jump St movies and Nice Guys (which ain’t even really a straight comedy)

Yeah In Bruges was funny af too
"ESTEBAN WAS EATEN"
"Esteban was bitten?"
"EATEN!"
"Is he dead?"
"ESTEBAN WAS EATEN"
"He was swallowed whole?"
"NO, CHEWED"

I think maybe great comedy is a lot harder to pull off as a consistent product than other genres. And you can have a lot of amazing comedians running around but it takes a certain sort of visionary to pull off a classic comedy with them. Even back in day you had your Norman McLeod and Leo McCareys.
