The Fading Laugh

Snarky Jay examines the decline of theatrical comedy films in this video, focusing on what many consider a “golden era” between 1995 and 2010. He explores the reasons behind this downturn, from the rise of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and its “quippy” humor, which shifted comedy from a central genre to a secondary element in blockbuster action films, to the shortened theatrical-to-streaming window, which reduced incentives for audiences to see comedies in cinemas. The video also discusses how increased cultural sensitivity and studio self-censorship have led to blander humor, leaving theatrical comedies struggling to capture the audience’s attention. While comedy still thrives on other platforms, in theaters, it seems to be on life support.
