Adventure Time, Regular Show.... pretty much most of what they show on Cartoon Network nowadays. I gave those two shows a shot, and I was not amused.
Things you find woefully unfunny, but other people like.

Ooooooh that could make a few people a bit annoyed. I for one find it extremely funny XD but I can understand how someone wouldn't find it funny.Angry Juju said:
For me its definitely 'How I Met Your Mother' and 'Big Bang Theory'.
Both unfunny, both boring, both repetitive, both annoying.
Eh.
Call me crazy, but I dislike anything with a laugh track. It feels really annoying having the show tell me something was funny, and I should be laughing. It takes me right out of it. On that topic, I really dislike Big Bang Theory, all sitcoms, and most comedy shows, with the exception of Colbert and The Daily show, because they seem like genuine live laughter and applause.
I create my own laugh track to Archer though. That show is the most brilliant comedy in 15 years. Favorite line this week has to be:
Archer: I'm responding to a burglary alarm Lana, which is the reason I'm not up to my eyes in stewardess.

I find all of the ____ Movie! movies and any 'comedy' staring the late Leslie Nielsen to be painfully unfunny. Most of the Disney and Nickelodeon original shows, My Wife and Kids and the majority of Mind of Mencia episodes are just normally unfunny.
Though I will admit that my sense of humor tends to lean towards the more darker and messed up side of things. Archer, South Park, Venture Brothers and 1,000 ways to die are at the top of my list of favorite funny shows. And I love dark/black comedies (Death to Smoochy, 8 Heads in a Dufflebag and 30 minutes or Less are my favorites in that category).

Most anime comedy. The jokes just feel really recycled and plain to me (there are plenty still that have me on the floor laughing but..), yet my anime loving friends always go on about specific parts that they find to be epic or flippin' hilarious that I see and think, "seen it" for the hundredth time which I do not always point out in a flippant manner, but instead respond to them with, meh, it's alright I guess. Seeing a little girl send giant beams of heavenly light crashing down the earth can only be epic for so many times, until you begin to notice a cycle of this where you can already anticipate their cliche and realize that little girls are the strongest breed of human in anime, and at the bottom of the food chain is the muscly looking guys who actually work out and that people will laugh at the exact same premise of a little girl annihilating an army a lot without getting bored of it over and over again.
Memes of course and as the op stated the scary movie parody films. Oh my god who finds that tasteless humor funny? Family guy is sort of odd though. Before cancellation it was absolutely horrible. After being renewed it reached a high point, which isn't saying much, and then came the past few seasons. Nothing but throwbacks to old episodes, horrible gag humor, and just plain bad writing.
EVERY SINGLE THING ON TV
But rather then make a post that never ends I am just going to come out and say any episode of the Simpsons and South Park for the last 2-4 years.
Each episode of South Park has only one joke, and they beat that joke way past the point of a dead horse by the end of the episode. Randy (stan's Dad) is the most unlikeable, obnoxious and un-entertaining character I have ever had the displeasure of watching, and now he is the main character which makes the show that much worse. Every single thing he does comes off like a child screaming and waving their arms in front of a camera for attention. Chef was the best character, and he is gone (R.I.P. Isaac Haze) but he ditched the show long before that, and good for him for it. And I am not even going to talk bout the whole political/pop culture message thing because it is too widely known to need reference. I liked this show a lot better when it was just 4 kids cussing, fending off aliens and talking to Christmas poo.
The Simpsons are a parody of the parody sitcom family they once were, and that's why it's not funny. Each episode is now written, animated and voiced like the characters are actors playing parodies of the character they once were. The worst (and baffling) part about this is it's clearly done intentionally. Is this supposed to make it better? No, not at all. I used to still watch the Halloween specials each year because those where the highlights of each season, even long after the series passed it's prime. But even the Halloween specials have become outright unwatchable, ye gods...

The Big Bang Theory and more or less How I Met Your Mother.
To give How I Met Your Mother some credit, it has made me laugh a few times, usually on account of Neil Patrick Harris, but the Big Bang Theory... fucking hell. It didn't just not make me laugh, it made me frown. It's the first show I've ever seen that made me react so negatively.

Hold on a second, have you ever seen the American version of the Office?Insanum said:
I've never seen the English version myself, but the American is one of my favorites.
OT: Drawing dicks anywhere that I can, then proceeding to giggle with my "posse".
Sure is funny guys....
The Office, either of them.
Memes. Though theres a lot like me who don't like them, but still.
The list is much longer, but ya.

I totally agree. Some shows might be funny, but you add a laugh track, it dumbs down the whole show. It's like those applause signs. What? Is your show really so unfunny that you need to tell your audience when to laugh?Bradeck said:
The only thing with a laugh track that I tolerate is The Soup, but only because I love watching Joel mchale mock stupid celebrities.
On a more specific note, I'm going with the cliche, family guy. I honestly tried watching it when my brothers and some of our friends were watching it. I found it horribly unfunny and incredibly stupid. But then again, this is coming from a guy who, for the most part finds sexual humor unfunny.
I gotta figure it's the same reason Ray Jay Johnson ever had a career. "Well you can call me Ray, or you can call me Jay, or you can call me RJ, etc." it's funny precisely because it isn't, but is played completely straight. I think this also applies to Tenacious D. They aren't terribly good, but damned if they aren't treated like they are.BathorysGraveland said:
Archer: I can't believe we're in a firefight with the Canadian Mounted Police.Bradeck said:
Lana: I can't believe we're in a Canadian-American Mexican standoff and they're completely missing the irony of it.
Archer: What do you expect from people that make ROUND BACON?
OT: Honestly, I'm drawing a blank, though I am surprised that According to Jim hasn't been mentioned yet. When it was on TV you couldn't throw a rock without hitting someone complaining about how unfunny it was. I personally found it to be a perfectly serviceable show. Jim Belushi came across as a network television version of Dan Aykroid, and I see no problems with that.
As a general rule, pretty much anything with canned laughter. By far one of the worst things to ever happen to television.
Some of the old timey sitcoms were good but most modern sitcoms are more awkward than anything else.
Also, practically every youtuber listed under the "comedy" category. Almost every one I've watched didn't seem like they'd be funny enough or have enough original content to make it in the world of comedy outside of youtube. They also seem a little too ingratiating, a little too desperate for you to like them.
The comedians I find funny are the ones that come across like they don't give a shit whether you like them or not. Practically everything Louis CK has done amuses the hell out of me.
