It's not meant to be simply a comedy. Some of it is tragic. Just like life.

Yes, at times it did.

Yes, it could be entertaining. But I just had a visceral dislike for Alan Alda's wiseass character. Like I said, it took itself too seriously.

Absolutely true, but it was still funny.

I've always found it annoying as hell and rarely funny. Though set in Korea, it was obviously supposed to be an anti-war statement against the U.S. invasion of Vietnam.
But of course the liberals are portrayed as snarky heroes, and the conservatives are portrayed as bumbling fascists. It was purely and simply liberal anti-war propaganda and it took itself too seriously to be funny.

If you don't think it's funny, then nobody can explain it to you. Humor is very subjective.
PS I think the TV Show was funny, but the MOVIE was HILARIOUS!

I think the movie did that better. The tv show became overly sentimental.

It might be generational, and it might be related to what country you're from or if you're familiar with what events are being portrayed or discussed.
This is a show that successfully combined drama, humour, bloodshed and the atrocities of war, breakdowns, relationships, death….to pull all of those together well is tough, and they did it for many, many years.
It's a brilliant show.

Damn… clip and prank shows aren't really my forte. Looks like I can't really recommend anything you'd find that funny. The only other prank shows I can think of are the ones in which people try to scare their friends (there are a few of those), and maybe stuff like
Impractical Jokers
or
Kenny vs Spenny
.

Don't get me wrong but I enjoi ridiculousness and jackass more than this

Give a few examples of comedy films or tv shows you liked. It would be easier to point you in the right direction if we know what you
do
find funny, since the comedy genre is quite broad. There should be
something
that suits you.

CROFT, what are some shows that you DO like to watch?

Not even the new "comedy" movies or TV shows that Hollywood kindly provide these days

It might not be your brand of humour. What kind of comedy do you like?

It ain't funny at all
I've watched two episodes already and find it boring
Well, this is a tomb. I'll make them feel at home

Trying to explain why something is funny to someone who doesn’t find it at all funny is like asking flood water to leave.

It's subtle gallows humor.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

Sorry, can't splain that one to you, ya goofy Romanian!

MASH is brilliant. What an incredible TV series.
Ooohh, but that last episode though. I cried.

Watch the movie it's based on, and the message the TV show is portraying will become clearer… it's more for people from the Vietnam era.

Are you a fan of any of Robert Altman's work? Very interesting storyteller.
