I've seen a couple over the years: Robin Hood, Twelve Chairs, Blazing Saddles, and most recently Spaceballs. I found them all funny, theoretically, but they rarely got an open laugh out of me. It seems like most of the time this is just because the comedic timing makes every joke or funny bit land very awkwardly, or with just a bit too much space to leave room for any subtlety or reward for the watcher.
I feel like I remember the few I saw as a kid being funnier at that time. Is it just because my brain has been attention-poisoned with the rapid fire wit of modern comedic television?
There's a brand of reddit nerd who loves to tell you how hilarious they find Airplane!, mel brooks, monty python. I'm pretty sure that no one under 75 has ever physically laughed during those movies and they're all lying for clout. Professors probably lie about how much they laughed at the two gentlemen from verona.
Nobody laughed during Monty Python? Ok zoomer
:I-was-saying: I still laugh at biggus dickus
:biggus-dickus: Yes?
"He has a wife you know." and the roman guards in the front both go "jupiter help me please"
gets me everytime :michael-laugh:
I don't remember much of being a kid vividly but distinctly remember Mel Brooks and Leslie Nielsen movies making me laugh til I cried. My entire family was sick of Men in Tights because I watched it so often
The Naked Gun is still funny
Now, if you want to talk about poorly aged comedies, one only needs to point to the first Ace Ventura
Naked Gun 33 1/3 would like a word.
There's a reason I only mentioned the first Naked Gun
ahh yes, the two hexbear age brackets:
airplane and blazing saddles are great even today. you may just have zoomer sensibiltiies
counterpoint: i have laughed out loud at all of them
Speak for yourself, I rewatch all of those pretty regularly and think they hold up.
A dog named crab is funny, sorry
i'm gonna fight you zoomer
Airplane! is hilarious, when I was a kid I could recite Robin Hood: Men In Tights from memory
everyone calling this take zoomer, it's actually just cap.
watch the Holy Grail and Young Frankenstein again. If you say you don't laugh at at least 1 scene from each, you're a massive capper lol
I actually watched Young Frankenstein recently and I definitely enjoyed it but I did not laugh.
big cap but I'm glad you liked it
