Am i getting too old for Comedy movies?

[Bells]

in a stroke of luck i got my hands on a couple of movies from the "old days" that i have many fond memories of.

I got Top Shots 1 and 2 and Robin Hood Men in Tights. And i already have Dracula Dead and Lovin'it

And i recall these movies being funny back then when i was little, but i got to watch like, the first 15 minutes of each... and man, these movies are funny. Like, actually, trully funny. I've spend most of my time giggling at visual jokes and puns between the big laughs of the set pieces and dialogue. It's awesome!

I just... don't recall most movies capturing that formula anymore... i Mean, i like the Occasional William Ferrel movie, Anchorman is hilarious! But not in the same... i guess the world would be "tempo", the Rhythm. Just like Jim carrey movies, Liar Liar is one of my favorite movies of all time and it's the one i recall most closely resembling those older movies.

What caught my eye though was two things... first that the older movies all had similar formulas on how they were made (4th wall breaking, Playing Straight to a ridiculous scene neve pointing or explaining the gag) and they were also released much closer together.

While the new movies try to "blend" with a realistic story more and more often, trying for something closer to the "absurd of real life", so you get something like a very incompetent guy trying manual work instead of the same guy changing a light bulb using just a flaming whip 'cause why the fuck not...

Overall, nowadays i find it harder and harder to actually see a comedy that grabs me for more than half a week
