Probably I haven't made it clear enough but I DO enjoy comedy. Somehow I really like "Ace Ventura" but have difficulty watching "American Pie".

And perhaps it's difficult to understand but I love "American Pie" too. It's just some scenes that make me owerwhelmed - not the whole experience.

I gave up horror movies (it's just not my genre) but don't want to do the same with comedies. It's important for me to understand the reason behind this behaviour. What's the difference between "Ace Ventura" and "American Pie" for example? Why can't I enjoy both at the same level?

What makes you different is that you have a "negative" label, rather than a "pleasurable" one, to that sensation.
It's interesting. I do observe the same pattern in others but not to the same degree. What makes me different?
