I had an odd experience with this series; I first read the first book at about 19, and just...didn't fucking get it.
Read it again a few years later and couldn't fathom how I hadn't realized HOW FUNNY it was. I don't know if it was too British, or what, but the humor just hit much different after I had a few more years on me.

But it sounds like it's just not to your taste. I don't know how funny I'd find it now, I haven't read it in many years.

I'm British and I get the humour but maybe being released in the early 80s it's a bit too old fashioned.

Comedy changes over time. But the 80s were pretty kicking with jokers as any flip of an 80s sitcom or movie will show. If you can’t read past the 80s because it’s too old you will definitely limit your world view.
