Am I missing something?

Serious question, I have attempted to watch this film, hailed by many as the greatest comedy ever. But after half an hour with no laughs and literally cringing at every scene I just can't take it any more and turn it off.

The real question is, am I missing something? The so called comedy in this film just seems outrageously stupid and I just can't seem find myself enjoying it. Maybe its a generation thing?

Yes, you're missing something.

(Though I wouldn't call it the greatest comedy ever)

Or he has too much of something?
When LOB was made "following" someone was something you really had to THINK about. In times of social media following the next useless idiot is just a mouse click away...
