They have the potential to make you go rolling on the floor, catching your stomach with laughter. But there are also a few comedy movies that have lost their fun and are not funny anymore. Here is a list of once so-fun-to-watch movies which are no more fun today: 

1. Silver Streak (1976)

It's one of the most successful comedies of its time. It uses physical gags, comic situations, and banter. It was funnier back then but will not be considered funny today. It touches on the elements of racism and social stereotypes. It will be regarded as an offensive movie with its insensitive jokes about black people.

2. Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979)

This movie aimed to be a satirical comedy of Christianity. The storyline revolves around a guy considered Messiah because he was born on the same day as Jesus.

Today it is considered a crime that hurts the sentiment of religious followers. 

3. The Jerk (1979)

It is known best for her absurd humor and slapstick. This movie had a great fan following. The movie might seem like it could be more fun to the modern audience. The Jerk uses absurd situations and physical comedy. It might not resonate with today's comedy genres. Also, the jokes that were funnier in the era of the 70s may seem sensitive to today's audience. It has eth potential to offend modern audiences. 

4. Mr. Mom (1983)

One of the most exciting comedy movies of its time. The movie aimed to stir the fun element by reversing gender roles. Women of the house worked outside, and the man remained in the place for chores and child care. Today, these gender roles are considered backward, and equality is promoted. This movie will seem zero percent funny to the audience. They will only watch it as old stereotypical s norms.

5. Sixteen Candles (1984)

Presenting the life of a teenage girl, this film portrays the challenges and life experiences of the teenage. However, it was a light-hearted comedy of its times.

The audience will see Sixteen Candles as an offensive and backward movie.

6. Weird Science (1985)

This was a unique type of movie with a mixture of comedy and science. The film shows how two high school boys create a woman with technology. They program the woman as they want it to be.

Its jokes will be regarded as offensive to the world audience, along with its portrayal of women as an object of comedy.

7. Heathers (1988)

Another dark comedy movie that portrays high school cliques, bullying, and violence. It got a significant following when it came out, as it was so humorous. But it does not seem humorous anymore as it presents the sensitive topic of bullying with such humor that it is enjoyable. This era is more aware of bullying and mental health, so it will not resonate with today's comedy genre.

8. Aladdin (1992)

This is one of the most popular Disney movies, which gained love and recognition worldwide. Although an animated movie, it touches on the themes of love with a cross-status marriage of a princess and an ordinary man.

It was supposed to be a thought-provoking movie that also made its way into the dark humor category.

10. American Pie (1999)

This movie revolves around the life of a high school boys group who are trying to lose their v card. The movie's theme was sexual humor at the time it was produced.
