Comedy moved to Youtube and TikTok and big-Hollywood can't compete with more tailored, specific, comedy.
What's the funniest thing I've watched recently? ProZD, CarbotAnimations, CalebCity, Door Monster.
They're quite specific to my tastes (Anime, Video Games, and Dungeons and Dragons), that most others wouldn't get. But there's simply no way that a big Hollywood / general production can make a joke as specific as Door Monster and/or CarbotAnimation skits.

Longer bits of comedy can be found in longer-form Youtube videos, such as Oversimplified.

I don't think any of these online cartoons or Youtubers have much mainstream appeal. But they're funny enough for me.

I also seem to remember some relatively mainstream comedies out there: Harley Quinn was pretty good (though that tickles my taste in DC Superheroes). Knives Out was absolutely hilarious. But I admit I don't watch too many movies in general.
The Big Short was funny (though inaccurate to the history of the time), if people want a more recent somewhat political flick.
I've never been a Bat-person fan -- in fact, I'm far more entertained and intrigued by Harley Quinn than the heroes of Gotham, though Ruby Rose did a decent job as Batwoman before she split -- but with that disclaimer out of the way, the only Batgirl movie I'd watch is one with Marisha Ray as the star. Her mini fan series was actually interesting, and with a real budget and DCEU support behind it, she'd make a good Official™ Batgirl.
Check out the new Harley Quinn. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7658402/
