I'm not even arguing that it's subjective, because by definition, opinions on entertainment are subjective. I don't care about that, because that's usually the cry of a moron. It's a form of stating the obvious. What I am arguing is that it's a constant process.
I can think of maybe 3 post-2000 comedy movie that I liked. I can name at least 8 from the 80's right off the bat.

It may be selective overall, which I will admit, but when it comes to movies I enjoyed, the 80's wins out.
