Or the humor just loses it's edge before the movie is over. Some comedy movies still hold up for me, but I think I like movies in other genres - that happen to also be funny - a lot better. Like a drama with funny dialogue or an action movie with witty banter. I can name very few pure comedy movies that I would say that I think are good movies.

Love humor in other mediums - especially in the form of comic strips - so I'm not a humorless grinch.
Sounds like a case of the Dunning Kroeger effect.
