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 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.
