Do you think old comedy movies like “airplane (1980)” aren’t that funny for a first time watch nowadays?

I want to say first that I do get the appeal. And I bet it was a great movie and experience for a lot of people here.

I was recommended to watch it from my brother telling me it's an old classic so I finally saw it today expecting a hilarious movie. While watching it I realized almost instantly my issues with the movie and I hoped it would get better but it didn't.

I saw this movie way too late and I basically seen/heard every single joke they say or show a thousand times before.

I don't think the movie is bad at all. The story was interesting and I still wanted to stay until the end to see old comedy jokes. But I just don't think it's that funny to watch so many years later for the first time. And now I kind of think that probably would be the same for any old comedy I would try to watch.

I wonder if anybody else experienced that, if not with this movie maybe with another movie.
