Numbers confirm our worst suspicions about big-screen comedies. When was the last gut-busting feature that rocked the box office? Remember the film โ€œThereโ€™s Something About Mary.โ€ Sure, animated films are often humorous, and some MCU films deliver laughs along with superhero action. But even this content can be dubious.

The Slow Decline of Comedy Movies in U.S.

Making edgy jokes is extremely risky for an aspiring comedian or producer of entertainment. It can be career-ending if one makes the wrong comment or scene. Hence, any comedy made today will need to be real โ€œmilk toastโ€ from now on โ€“ which may make it not even worth watching. The comedy will need to be tailored to the new โ€œNerf ballโ€ and โ€œsnowflakeโ€ generations.

Is comedy a victim of woke culture? Give us your take in the comment section below.
