....always contain so much nudity/sex/swearing? is that the only way americans can be funny? i mean its so awkward watching it with other people. i can never find a really really funny and good movie to watch with parents or relatives. With such advanced technology they can certainly be more creative and still be as funny. Movies from my country make hilarious movies without nudity/sex/swearing and their tech isnt even that advanced. C'mon they can do so much better, most of the times its not even funny. MrLikesFat

Why do you subject yourself to watching such movies that you dislike?

There use to be more family friendly comedies but now they are all aimed to adults.

Because that's what a lot of people like to watch nowadays. I semi-agree with you, i do like some raunchy comedies but they seem to be going overboard with them lately.

I do agree with you. Don't act you understand everyone's opinions just because they ask you a question in a derogatory manner...

Most American like nudity/sex/swearing in their comedy movies because, in certain situations, it's funny. It's not like it's in every comedy that you see in the U.S and ther are still plenty of family oriented comedies to watch.

Why so sensitive? lol... I thought America is the land of the free. The shows aren't intended for kids anyway, so stop complaining. European and Asian jokes sometimes come with sex and swearing. To say that applies only on Americans, that's a generalization. Grow up.

Because its a public forum and you do not get to control who posts especially when you do not like that they disagree with you. And I disagree with you also,thats a bad generalization.

American Comedies suck so bad 99% of the case it's not even funny to categorize them as comedys. With the sole exception of The Big Lebowski and Airplane! (to mention a very select few and not counting all the British comedys). I guess the american view of movie comedy is insanely cliché and immature to generalize. The stuff that Eddie Murphy, Rob Schneider, Steve Martin etc has come out with as of late is nothing except pathetic and I haven't been able to laugh or even smile at a single new made comedy for ages.

seriously? because if everyone agreed, there would be no point in discussion, which is one of the fundamental concepts of a discussion forum.

if you asked this question expecting everyone to just agree with you, then you shouldn't have asked the question.

Come on, not all comedy movies have nudity. It's mostly the stuff like american pie and road trip. There are many others that don't contain nudity.
