Mine hasn't. I'm in my forties now, but I've stayed pretty much at 19 as far as humor. Bad Santa, Anchorman, Old School and even Porkys. That's my wheelhouse. Does your sense of humor change?

100% has changed a bit. I used to really love Sandler back when I was in my teens and 20's. I don't find his humor as much these days. I still like a few of his shows, but the humor doesn't hit like it used to. However, 40 Year Old Virgin, Old School, Superbad, Super Troopers, I Love You Man and many other shows along the same line still are ringers for me!

I thought Billy Madison was funny as hell when it came out. The older I get, the more I feel that movie is full of retarded shlt. Same with a few of his other movies.

My sense of humor has definitely changed but I also think my tolerance and patience for dumb shlt has evolved.

I don't think it changes I think that you have to act differently around different people.

If you have kids, you have to act different about certain jokes.

If you are married, you have to act different about certain jokes.

Matt Rhule is not funny. Thank god, he doesn't try to be.

Same... Billy Madison was probably one of my favorites back in the day. Still two scenes in there that I still laugh at today.

"Billy, oh Billy Boy when is it your ever going to find whatever it is you're looking for? Billy - Here's a nice piece of ****"

And this one of course

I’ve become more deadpan with my humor over the years. Don’t get me wrong I still get raunchy as a 17 year old from time to time. I think the only humor I instantly grew out of past the age of five was bathroom humor.

So I rewatched Entourage last summer and it was, for the most part, awesome.

Then I saw people commenting about how horrible it was (Now) because of the jokes.

I know that "things have changed" but funny is still funny.

I will say us older people have a different view on what is a joke comp to the younger generation, the younger ones wouldn’t understand don rickles Bob Newhart among others and some of us older people don’t care the all the cuss words the younger comedians use

aren't you the same guy who planned on riding his wife's coattails to a new life in New Zealand a scant 6 years ago?

come to think of it, you're right. the truth IS funny!
Relax. Misogyny (what that is currently defined as in this ultra soft society)along with a wide array of jokes with some truth to them are hilarious. Pull your panties out of your knuckle. No reason to be offended.

Rickles roasted everything and everyone, but he would be called racist now. I appreciate that he didn't need to use colorful language. Older comedians were more subtle and less crude. I get it.

My sense of humor has not changed. What's changed are the comedians and movies. I love me some American Pie, classic Adam Sandler, Chris Farley and even Jim Carey. I still can't stand Michael Myers or Will Ferrell.

I have a bipolar sense of humor. Can be raunchy cussing inappropriate with buddies but I also like comedians like Tom Papa and shows like Frazier or anything clever without profanity. I've always disliked the local shock jocks, literally never funny.
