@Klaxun As someone whose tastes in comedy over time have changed, I can attest to the veracity of the research.
@bibliolater Oh, for sure. It's been years since I laughed at peek-a-boo.
@bibliolater About 40 years ago I loved Woody Allen movies. About 20 years ago I rented "Bananas" to show to my two teens. We sat through the first 45 minutes, none of us laughing. I know that we age and our sense of humour changes, but somehow the movie didn't amuse either age group.

Hilarious
