Is Humour In Movie Nowadays Too Forced?

Okay, I know people will have a huge opinion on this, but movies such as The Hangover, I mean, yeah there are some funny parts, but sometimes I feel that the humour in movies now are just so forced. I hardly laughed in the hangover, mostly only cause my friends did and you don't want to seem like the only one not laughing etc.. I personally prefer subtle humour, dark humour, stuff that is done well.. An example of such movies are "Punch Drunk Love" , "The Suid And The Whale", "The Darjeeling Limited" to name a few.

Sometimes it kinda feels as though people just laugh at things because it is put there on a big screen for you to view it. A lot of the things in movies are not funny, just dumb and lazy I reckon
This is not to cause arguments, but just to share thoughts, as I am someone who is very passionate about film and study Film Production at University and writes scripts.

P.S. I would say I have a great sense of humour.. But "Forced" Humour should be recognised I think.

films nowadays are usually not funny, aren't original, aren't funny throughout or repeat a decent joke to many times. I guess it is often forced nowadays, most comedy lovers have seen a lot of comedy so it may be hard to come up with new stuff to keep things interesting so i guess it is often forced.

btw the darjeeling limited, great movie. You should watch the short movie prequel for it, it's even better.

i thought i was the only one who felt that movie wasn't that funny. Yeah, i do think humor is forced. I prefer dark comedy myself. You should see Kiss Kiss Bang Bang or Big Nothing.
