It's not your fault. It's funny in exactly the same way that the Irish Civil War is funny. And for the exact same reason (e.g. you need a deep black vein of humour at human unreason to laugh at it)

It's not a "chuckle at the Father Ted style wry Irish humour" comedy. It's a bleak "The moments of gallows humour serve to briefly, and artificially, raise your sensibility from total despair, only to allow it to be smashed down again, much in the way that a bare knuckle boxer might pick his downed opponent up by the hair, so that he can smash his skull back down into the canvas once again" kind of humour. If that sounds like it will cheer up your friend, then good luck.

Reply to Why people act like james cameron is a great filmmaker because his movie gross well at Box-office while also hating directors like Michael bay who do the exact same thing ? by HumbleCamel9022
Basically, because Cameron makes blockbusters for adults, while Bay is a one trick (here it is, https://youtu.be/2THVvshvq0Q) jumped up as director who markets to teenage boys with his cheap pornographer sensibility.
