Anyone else tired of sex comedies and bad spoofs?

Movies like superbad and 40 year old virgin are funny in their own way, but they are so constant. I didnt really find superbad as great as most did, i dont like that Jona HIll guy much, hes like a lame version of Seth Rogan. Knocked up was much better than superbad to me because it had more heart and it wasnt just comedy.

Sure there are the occasional comedy Gems like Death at a funeral, Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the dead and In Bruges, but I notice that the comedies I find the funniest are not American ones. Before the U.S put of alot of great comedies and spoofs, now spoof movies are mostly crap and satire is pretty much dead in terms of movie comedies. Thank you for smoking was one of my favorite comedies of the past few years because it was actually intelligent and didnt use stupid humor. Juno also had its moments, but overall I enjoyed thank you for smoking more. What do you guys think?

u are 100% right! I agree with you Premier1101

The best comedy to me is on TV these days. Shows like its always sunny in philadelphia are much better than any comedy movie I have seen in years.

The bad spoofs....that team of 'people' is going to get put down, one way or another. I don't want it to be me, but it might just have to come to that.

BUT, I think the majority of the sex comedies actually have some spirit to them. The American Pie spinoffs? Not so much. 40 YO Virgin and American Wedding? Very good movies, actually.

I've got to agree there are more comedic shows on TV than movies. I feel exactly the same with all the rehashed crap and spoof comedies, I guess writers have just run out of ideas. Oh well, heres hoping for an original comedy.

Resurrect Graham Chapman and make more Monty Python movies.D3nnyCrane

Well Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam are still alive. And they directed all the Python movies. They should get the rest of the troupe together and make another one. :P

I will sacrifice someones firstborn for another moment as glorious as the stoning scene in Life of Brian for the guy that said Jehovah...

American wedding was terrible, Sean William scott is one of the most annoying actors I have ever seen. Unless you mean Wedding crashers, which wasnt that bad although Vince Vaughn is getting tiresome. its not that they are bad movies, its just that there are too many of them. I want to see some good airplane! style spoofs and more good satire's.

i refuse to see knocked up or superbad, cause i know i most likely wont think they are that great and just get mad when anyone says how hilariously funny they are around meVendettaRed07

Knocked Up is actually a good movie for almost everyone, Superbad may be for a more specific demographic.

And I meant what i said lol. American Wedding. I really like SWS, but he wasn't most of the reason I liked it. Didn't enjoy Wedding Crashers much, but what I did like was thanks to Wilson, not Vaughn.

yeah i can see liking knocked up, but i just dont wanna see superbad

The topic of sex within comedy is already tired and dull. I'm sick of hearing lame sexual innuendos and cliched observations of sex. It's time American Mainstream comedy moved on to something different.

I think comody movies have lost their wit that's what's ruined them. TV isn't doing amazingly either, too many terrible sketch shows, i watch panel shows and sitcoms for my lols.markop2003

you should watch its always sunny in philadelphia, best show on tv by far:D

pretty much the only comedies ive seen recently that i love are 40 year old virgin, super bad, juno, shaun of the dead, and hot fuzz...everything elese is just...meh or, crap.

on the topic of super bad i have to say i absolutely loved it:P, seriuosly i watched it the first time and loled the whole way through. i thought "my god thats me:lol:" i felt the same way like i watched american pie 1(after that the other pies sucked) for the first time, it was just so good

I think Hot Fuzz was not funny at all. Shaun of The Dead was great tho.TwiztidJoker

its alot funnier if you get the references and homages. Plus the dialogue was hilarious as usual. I thought it was better than shaun of the dead personally.

Yeah dude, I enjoyed Hot Fuzz much more than Shaun of The Dead. Shaun of the Dead was great though.
