Some comedies are hilarious the first time you watch them, especially when you’re too young to question what’s actually happening on screen. Then you revisit them years later and realize the jokes aren’t quite what you remembered. Maybe the humor depends on stereotypes that feel painfully outdated, or the same gag gets repeated until even the actors seem tired of it. Other movies were massive hits that simply lost their charm somewhere along the way. That doesn’t mean every scene is terrible, and nostalgia can still do plenty of heavy lifting. But these 15 comedies are a lot harder to laugh at today.IMDbcnx.cmd.push(function() {cnx({playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530",}).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796");});Revenge of the Nerds Made the Wrong Guys the HeroesThe 1984 comedy presents its nerdy protagonists as lovable underdogs, but their invasive pranks and treatment of women make several supposedly triumphant moments deeply uncomfortable today.IMDbPork’s Had One Joke, and It Wasn’t GreatThis 1981 teen comedy builds much of its humor around spying on girls and embarrassing them, with entire sequences devoted to behavior the movie expects audiences to applaud.IMDbSixteen Candles Had Some Pretty Awkward PunchlinesMolly Ringwald’s Samantha deserves a better birthday, but the film’s treatment of Long Duk Dong and its troubling romantic subplot make John Hughes’ comedy difficult to revisit.IMDbWeird Science Was a Very Strange Teenage FantasyTwo teenagers create their ideal woman using a computer, and the resulting comedy spends more time indulging their fantasies than giving Kelly LeBrock’s character much independence.IMDbSoul Man Had a Premise That Was Already QuestionableC.
