But where are those comedies?

Unfortunately, making comedies that don’t punch down and/or aren’t gross-outs are difficult - you need to have a top class concept and be able to execute it expertly, which is hard.

Personally, I find that !comedyplusgenre@lemmy.world is still a fertile ground for comedy - GotG3, The Suicide Squad, EEAAO, D&D, The Menu, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Spontaneous, The Babysitter films, Free Guy, Boss Level, Violent Night, Day Shift, Boys From County Hell, etc. Although it could be argued that adding a genre element in means the comedy doesn’t have to do all the heavy-lifting, so it may be a cop-out.

Decent real-world set comedies of recent years include: the Banshees of Inisherin, Bullet Train, Guns Akimbo, etc.

Not sure where Jojo Rabbit fits but that too.
