The whole "comedy is dead" has been a talking point for Conservatives for a long time. They will point to a lack of adult comedies releasing in theaters as their "proof" but all that proves is that companies would rather make cheap horror films or big blockbusters, and that comedies are more streaming only these days.

Great point. As always, many of the problems conservatives blame on the "left" can usually be traced back to capitalism.

Studios are no longer willing to invest in mid-budget sized comedy movies due to risk. It's either big budget IP movies, or low-budget horror (as you mentioned).

That being said, there's absolutely no shortage of really good comedy shows. Abbott Elementary is a great example.
