Comedy moved to Youtube and TikTok and big-Hollywood can't compete with more tailored, specific, comedy.
What's the funniest thing I've watched recently? ProZD, CarbotAnimations, CalebCity, Door Monster.
They're quite specific to my tastes (Anime, Video Games, and Dungeons and Dragons), that most others wouldn't get. But there's simply no way that a big Hollywood / general production can make a joke as specific as Door Monster and/or CarbotAnimation skits.

Longer bits of comedy can be found in longer-form Youtube videos, such as Oversimplified.

I don't think any of these online cartoons or Youtubers have much mainstream appeal. But they're funny enough for me.

I also seem to remember some relatively mainstream comedies out there: Harley Quinn was pretty good (though that tickles my taste in DC Superheroes). Knives Out was absolutely hilarious. But I admit I don't watch too many movies in general.
The Big Short was funny (though inaccurate to the history of the time), if people want a more recent somewhat political flick.
