I generally hate most modern comedies. It's mostly due to my not seeing anything funny about pain or awkward sexual encounters.
Prime example: 'There's Something About Mary". I had never seen any portion of that film until I took a class in college about American Film History. (Which was an awesome experience, BTW. And even though it was focused on American film, we did watch a lot of foreign film to understand it's influence on some key American films). Anyways, we watched it as an example of the popularity gross out comedy gained in the 90s. And from the very start, I was in horror/shock. The whole zipper thing? Everyone in the class was laughing, while I was sitting there, imagining how painful that would be, how difficult it would be for the poor doctors working on him later, etc etc. I find no humor in such films. I find it disgusting and hate them.
Edit: Had to add this. Zoolander. That freak gasoline fight incident was sad for me. I find no humor in death, no matter how ridiculously stupid, and I hate comedy that used death as a gag. I hate films like that. Maybe I'm too literal or something.
