I used to love feature-length comedies as a kid and young adult, but they really fell off hard for me after the first Anchorman. Talladega Nights, Wedding Crashers, Superbad, Step Brothers...didn't care for any of them. Walk Hard was the lone exception, I liked that one.

The only feature-length comedies I've genuinely loved since then - Hot Fuzz, Deadpool, The Nice Guys - drift closer to action-comedy than just straight comedy.

I recently realized I haven't liked pretty much any straight up comedies that have been made since at least the mid 90's. I don't think I'd even care for Adam Sandler's stuff from then if I rewatched them now. Apatow and his crew completely ruined comedies for over a decade. I think we're just now starting to bounce back from that. The only really funny movies of the past couple decades have been hybrids like action comedies, comedy dramas, or horror comedies.
