One of the Yonko is a fat old lady called "Big Mom". The last major villain was a middle aged man with a pink feather coat called "doflamingo". One of the main characters has fart attacks, and another one is a singing skeleton with an afro. If you're not interested in a childish cartoon, you're reading the wrong manga. One piece has always been supposed to be more funny than edgy.
it's not funny any more, if forced and repetitive gags is your type of comedy then i don't know what to say to you except that's pretty sad. i can re-watch or re-read old pre timeskip comedy moments and still have a good laugh, but after the timeskip i can't remember reading a gag without it making me cringe to the bones and the anime is even worse. and it's not about the designs, it's about the quality of writing is what i'm talking about.
but luckily one piece is not the only source of entertainment i have in my life,

The problem is when there's too much "gags and 'Comedy'" happening when it shouldn't. Ever heard of a time and place?
We get that OP isn't like the more Darker Series around etc... OP does take itself seriously it's not like it's been like Gintama. The gag Comedy side, or to far darker like Re: Zero, but in the middle ground. A more balanced, But even then it goes too far to the Comedy side than the other way...
i agree completely, the dude maybe doesn't understand the deference between character design and the quality of writing. it's like you said good comedy needs the right time and place, but now it's just feels forced and cringy.
