These people are idiots. Getting attention by being "edgy" goes back to Elvis. It's old fashioned. These people have run out of room to push the envelope.
Old fashioned entertainment that's good is much harder to do. And the people with the skills to do it have died off.
Hollywood is doomed. They haven't a clue.
Right now entertainment is one of America's largest exports. Movies are now made for an international market, which explains the reliance on sex, action, violence, etc. Comedy often doesn't translate to other cultures.
