>>213824292People 100% like comedy and still routinely watch old comedies like Naked Gun, Airplane, Bean, Rat Race, American Pie, Scary Movie and so on, it's just that Hollyshit no longer makes big comedy movies, the Naked Gun reboot being the only one in forever and it being mid at best.
Also, Jack Black was never a full on comedy actor like Leslie Nielsen or the Wayans, even his old shit like Shallow Hal reeks of social engineering.
