Part 9/9:
The consensus among critics and viewers is that comedy today struggles to find its footing. Without the ability to offend, surprise, or challenge societal norms, humor risks becoming a shadow of its former self—predictable, safe, and ultimately less impactful.
While some hope for a revival—perhaps through daring new projects or reimagined classics—the prospects remain uncertain. The history of comedy suggests that the genre is most powerful when it pushes boundaries, offers unique insights, and embraces the unexpected. Until that willingness resurfaces, Hollywood's comedy landscape will likely remain a shadow of its glorious past, yearning for the edgy, clever humor that once made audiences laugh out loud.
