I'm curious to know how you feel about the Madea movie franchise? They've always been a proponent of "funny movie, but also let's bring attention to these horrible struggles that people deal with every day" And it's definitely inspiring a lot of the "PSA comedies" that have come out, and I understand why someone wouldn't enjoy watching it, but I think that's the point? The daily horrors that people face that don't get talked about because they're in a minority, or otherwise overlooked in society, sandwiched in funny so that people listen. Would you consider these comedies still, or a different genre on it's own entirely, and are they less enjoyable as movies because of it? Again, just really curious to hear your thoughts!!!

Agreed, when the movie is about breaking out of a time cycle of course it's going to come up a lot. If you want to get heavy about it, it could be a metaphor for addiction, the attempts to break out, the failure, the eventual acceptance that you can't break out, dragging others in on purpose and accidentally, finally breaking out after a lot of effort and helping others out, there's so much there! I just think it's funny though

The most annoying thing about media in general right now is that the people making it think that their audience is dumb and needs everything spelled out for them. And not only do they tell (not show) everything, but they also reiterate the exact same message multiple times. That, plus companies only greenlighting sequels and well-known IP with A-List actors makes everything just feel like a cash grab.

@@Yes_this_is_my_cat The Headless Horseman. That movie was so bad but good. They constantly forgot how fire works. Basically any horror movie on the sci-fi channel tends to be like that. Or most movie by Blumhouse Productions (especially recent). They get higher budget but man the script is just so bad it's still makes for a fun shitty movie. Especially if you watch with friends. Basically you should look and aim for a horror movie that has around 2/3 outta 5 stars or 3-4 outta 10 stars.. If it's lower it's gonna be boring (don't worry 3 outta 5 sounds good but there'll always be people that rate those movies way too high because their standards are only "idk i had fun") if it's higher it might be "slightly misses the mark" which is more frustrating than fun.

Parasite literally is a comedy though, it’s specifically structured as a dark comedy for the 1st half & then hard pivots into a full on thriller in the 2nd half. I think it’s 100% fair to consider it the last comedy to win best picture & it feels kinda gatekeepy to say it’s not tbh

The problem is that studios want the movie to appeal to everyone, if 9 out of 10 people understand the plot or joke, that's a few hundred thousand that will complain about it online. Part of the problem is that everyone has a voice now, if you saw a movie in the 80s and didn't understand the plot, then you couldn't really do much about it.

Woke is a meaningless word. People apply it to anything they dislike. The majority of the people like Seinfeld who claim you can't make jokes anymore just can't be funny. Like when was Seinfeld the "edgy outsider"? Meanwhile It's Always Sunny was hugely popular and wildly offensive.

probably true in the sense that companies are trying to appeal to too large of an audience so they can recoup the cost of making the movie, tech advancements and competition like youtube and streaming services also play a part. but companies have always been focused on making money and maximizing the bottom line, good movies make the most money either way. shoehorned activism and political correctness of the scriptwriters AND the companies; and the threat of being boycotted is definitely a factor as well. companies try to make what they think the public want, and the loudest voices, however few, can sway that perception. there's a reason why most of the comedy classics from the past 4 decades can't be made today because they'd be boycotted the first week of release.

I’ll say in terms of recent comedy movies, Bottoms starring Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri was probably the funniest movie I’ve seen in years. It’s gloriously chaotic, the jokes were flying a mile a minute, Marshawn Lynch as a teacher was comedy gold, and it did a great job turning the conventions of high school comedies on its head. It didn’t get that much of a push due to it coming out during the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes, but I think it’s a future cult classic that’ll gain more appreciation in the coming years.

@@XMooMooMonkeyX That makes me think of 3 excerpts from the movie reviewer Vince Mancini's review of Bottoms. "Having just seen Bottoms, directed by Emma Seligman (born in 1995), I now have fresh hope that maybe Gen Z nihilism will save comedy. Bottoms, a sort of lesbian riff on Superbad by way of Heathers with a Fight Club angle, is the most chaotic, anarchic comedy I’ve seen in years, a cinematic barely-in-tune punk band with anthemic choruses and drums like a guy falling down stairs. It’s affirming not for telling you what you already know, but for selling the dream that you too can maybe make something this weird and smart and stupid and it will somehow come together through sheer force of vibes. Beyond its natural pugnacity, Bottoms has a level of craft far beyond the utilitarian, center-framed sitcom style that has come to dominate comedy in the age of easy affirmation. Many of Bottoms’ scenes feature a foreground conversation driving the plot, using the background action as a canvas for as many sight gags as Seligman and co. can squeeze in-like the school’s anatomically correct mascot with a huge dong. Social hot buttons and pure scatology are always battling for supremacy in Bottoms, with a joke density that would make the Zucker Brothers jealous. I wanted to rewatch it before I was even done watching it just to catch all the jokes. Best of all, it feels un-focused grouped, like its natural weirdness was just allowed to exist without being sanded into bland conformity. There’s a rudeness to Bottoms that’s been missing from the last five or ten years of comedies. On paper, a comedy created by a brain trust who were born when I was leaving middle school should make me feel old, but Bottoms mostly just made me feel alive."

Alright, my oldness now has a use! So, one thing you missed was the fact that there were all of the video stores back in the day that gave comedies a different revenue stream than now. You didn't pay a streaming service one price a month, you had to consciously say, "I'm renting Napoleon Dynamite tonight." and then put up the cash specifically for THAT film. The distributor got to sell a ton of copies to the video store for rent and sale, the video store then recouped costs by having finite rental inventory that was essentially recycled to the point of big profits off of relatively small inventory compared to other commercial ventures, like department stores. Then, there's also the fact that without people being used to going to comedies in theatres, there's no cultural touchstones like there was in my day. Say what you will about any of the problematic pieces in American Pie 1 & 2, but people flocked to that movie to laugh in a large crowd, together. Laughter is contagious and even a mediocre a comedy benefits from that sort of engagement. I'd like to see more absurdist comedies, like Airplane and Naked Gun, again. I know that Naked Gun is being remade, but I mean getting new ones. They typically had some stunts and sensationalism worth going to the theatre for, but they were straight forward just comedies. I very much miss them.

At least none that have left a lasting impression enough for me to name them off the top of my head... Come to think of it, I don't think I've genuinely laughed at something on screen (that was being funny on purpose) in a really long time. I think it was when I watched the first season of Future Man.

On the “art reflects society” point: i REFUSE to believe audiences everywhere just want everything explained to them all the time, or only politically correct jokes. I think that’s what the studios believe will make a great movie, and the fact that they won’t even try to get them on the big screen shows how afraid they are of the response. They are basically creating on the presumption that twitter will flame them for anything even a bit out of the norm. The Pitch Meeting guy said it best on the “Hunger Games: The ballad of songbirds and snakes” video: “-People have been clamoring for some new hunger games content. -They have? -Well, no, but that is a title with some brand recognition which is always safer than something original. I AM SCARED ALL THE TIME. -Hey, this industry was built by risk takers and now it’s our job to calm that down a little bit.”

If art doesn't reflect society it's not art, it's "cOnTeNt". Studios have never wanted 'great', they just want 'profitable', but it was once the case that allowing talented people to do what they want made money and studios, being run by film guys, enjoyed the prestige of being seen as making art. But with them being run by money guys like Zazlav they have become so risk-averse and profit-focused and much less interested in artistic prestige, so they neuter, over-simplify and homogenize everything such that what they make is bland content that's as likely to make money as possible. It's not that anyone wants everything explained to them and only politically correct jokes, it's that those things are seen as the way to minimise risk.

A lot of comedies are either trying too hard to show they are politically correct with the general audience or they're trying too hard to just be offensive to "stand up to the woke folk" when both extremes are just unfunny. I feel like the best comedy is something anyone would laugh at

I feel like the basis for good comedy is 'is it quotable?' Like certain words or phrases from movies like Austin Powers, Mean Girls, Napoleon Dynomite, are so iconic they've made into our every day lingo.

Kind of a self-fulfilling prophesy, though - any popular film is inevitably something you can quote and people 'get it' whether it's actually funny or not, but what makes it funny is the context it's quoted in. Exhibit 1: SW prequel memes. The prequels were not a laugh riot, but they accidentally meet the criteria.

'Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar' (2021) was a truly refreshing comedy that didn't try to add unearned pathos but revelled in total silliness featuring actual JOKES, along with direction and editing that served the hilarious writing. Can recommend!

Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo are a top tier comedy duo. Wiig is hilarious on her own most of the time but can get lost in her persona (like pretty much everyone who has ever been on SNL); Mumolo seems to get her totally locked in. Hope they get to make another movie together soon.

He’s more frustrating than bad, because he’s more than capable of making a good movie. “You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah” is incredibly funny, even if you need to be steeped in the Reform Jewish culture in order to get the most out of it. It’s filled with heart and love, but so many of his other movies are just going through the motions.

I enjoyed the comedy in Everything Everywhere All at Once. I think that’s what made it so successful … it was such a wild story with so much going on, but the delivery of the comedic lines made it so enjoyable. I found myself giggling at the driest of humor they’d display, but the actors seemed to take their roles serious to where it felt real. I felt transported into their story. …compared to watching yet another Adam Sandler movie of grown adults doing things the vast majority of people watching can never relate to where it just feels like it’s just background noise….because that is exactly what it ends up being as I get so bored watching those styles of movies that I end up doing other shite, which is a bummer because comedies (even the terrible ones) were okay to watch in the 90s and 00s. Even the “so bad it’s really bad, but also good in a sense that you can turn your brain off and enjoy following along” types. Most comedies now are either way too sanitized or way too boomer-y with stale jokes and a lot of whining.

The absurdism did so much good work in EEAAO. Early on you see _that_ award and think it's just a funny gag about auditors, but then it turns out it was Chekhov's trophy and it leads into one of the funniest scenes in the movie. It really was a fantastic blend of comedy and gut punching drama.

I agree, the comedy of the absurd is the core that makes this movie work so so well. It's definitely an absurdist comedy. Just like how because a serious film has comedic moments doesn't make it a comedy, likewise just because EEAAO has serious and emotional scenes doesn't mean it isn't a comedy.

A recent comedy you should watch: Barb and Star go to Vista Del Mar It missed theaters due to the pandemic but it’s fully hilarious. It’s ridiculously Silly and features song and dance and cameos and middle aged women living their best life. It’s about a vacation in Florida that goes so weirdly right and friendship and love and also a supervillain and it all works

As I understand it from people talking about the writers strike, young writer have basically been boxed out of learning how to write for movies (because teaching people costs money) so it ends up older writers presenting directors scripts, where they dont totally understand where the comedy is or how to film it.

The point about social media actually made me realise something too. Seeing something funny, whether it is basic slapstick (home videos) or sketches (on TikTok for example) has been made so easy that that itch for it doesn't need to be scratched in cinemas.
