This Is My Kind of Humor, and I’m Not Going to Apologize for It

I don't know if you've noticed, but something's happened to comedy. Remember when Monty Python gave us TV shows and movies packed with pure, unfiltered nonsense? Or when Ace Ventura had Jim Carrey pretending to talk out of his butt for three solid minutes? It was glorious! Nobody questioned why it was funny—it just was.

But now? Where did all the straight-up comedy movies go? I'm not even exaggerating—there are no more comedies! What we have now are hybrids: action-comedy, funny superhero movies, and that mysterious thing called "dramedy" (whatever that is). But can you name a comedy-comedy from the past 10 years? Because I sure can't.

This list is a tribute to the humor I miss—the unapologetically absurd, laugh-out-loud silliness that doesn't care about being clever or meaningful. It's just funny because it's funny. And if you don't find it funny, well, that's fine, but this is my kind of humor, and I'm not going to apologize for it.
