List some movies that are totally NOT funny
I have a good answer: the Star Wars prequels. Is there anything in them that's intentionally funny or unintentionally funny? For the latter, maybe Anakin saying "I hate sand," but it's more sad than funny, really.

For comedies, The Hangover. Maybe except for a smirk at the Mike Tyson scene, I didn't laugh once. It basically sums up to "if you're a white male, you can get away with anything."

For me its the Green Mile.
My personal pick is Margot At The Wedding. It's the most aggressively unfunny movie I've ever seen. "Dark comedy" my ass, it's just a bunch of annoying ass-holes yelling at each other nonstop for 1 and a half hours in pretense of it being a really intense, gripping family drama. (Spoiler: It ****ing isn't.) By the end of the movie I felt exhausted, and while I did get to see humanity at its worst it wasn't the kind of demonstration that inspired any kind of intelligent thought. The only words in my head were "**** Margot and **** this movie."

I happen to love The Hangover. You don't and that's cool, but I don't understand the criticism?

I can't help but think about how they pay no consequences for their actions and we're supposed to not only be okay with it, but also think "oh, boys will be boys." I know that it's a comedy and I should just turn my brain off and enjoy it, but I can't help but think, "who do these jerks think they are?"

Ten hours of Shoah and not one ****ing laugh.
I don't know, I thought it was very funny. Granted not all of the time, but certainly enough for me to classify it as a dramedy. It's possible I'm misinterpreting too and the comedic bits just didn't work for you.

Jim Carrey played in a lot of good and bad movies. The only thing they all have in common, is that they are not funny at all.

This past decade has been pretty poor when it comes to comedy films, with precious few that have been actually all that funny. It's easier to name the exceptions than it is to name all the ones that have been duds. The only ones that I would actually recommend to someone could probably count on 1 hand - and still probably have a finger or two to spare, sadly.
The same thing is happening in stand up comedy today.
Even look at some of the comedy movies that were released only 10 years ago and I don’t think they would put a lot of that same content in movies nowadays.
Probably doesn't help that the quote-unquote offensive comedies that are getting made these days tend to be pretty dire anyway - you can find stuff like Deadpool or Sausage Party unfunny anyway.

The Dead Don't Die (2019) is the least funny "comedy", and I use that term loosely, I have ever sat through. Just horrible.

Choosing my ten favorite movies would be like sophie's choice.
