Because most people simply favour history oriented material over comedies (with the rich war-oriented history and the cultural significance of it in Poland), so it gets more budget and a bigger viewership. Another thing is that comedies (especially on TVN as you said) are catered towards normie comedy and a diffrent target audience.
there were only few polish movies that were fun to watch. the rest was kinda meeh.
Comedies? More like romantic movies with the same cast every film and “drunk uncle during wedding” type of humour.
Trying to think of a historical movie that is actually a good movie, over a filmed historical patriotic essay.
Idk daleko od noszy, świat według kiepskich, miodowe lata… I liked them all
Polish comedies used to be good. Killer, Seksmisja, Job…
Honestly older comedies are quite good. For example “Brunet wieczorową porą” is really good and I recommend watching it
we’re talking about Poland, it’s illegal to laugh here

Not sure what films you’re watching OP, but there are plenty of great Polish comedies like Miś, Kogel Mogel, Kingsajz, Listy do M and this year Jeszcze przed świętami.
In contrast a recent production line of truly dreadful, low budget historical tosh generally produced in cahoots with PiS and their acolytes. Like Kurier, Bitwa o Anglię, Piłsudski and many more have been churned out seemingly non stop…probably targeting Polonia in the US and voters who will watch anything they’re told to by Kaczek.
Koterski and Bareja are the names I think of when I think of polish comedy, but sure, most of the rest is not too good
Polish comedies are top notch especially the older ones. What you are talking about are romantic comedies
Met up with my cousin at the end of october, she said she’s stoked for next month as “Listy do M 5” is coming out. I couldn’t even digest the 2nd part as my cringeometer was off the charts, why the fuck did they think making 3 more of these is profitable
Historical polish movies are good???
Communist era comedies are excellent
Bro, check old comedies like: psy, kiler, kilerów dwóch, chłopaki nie płaczą, poranek kojota, miś, dzień świra, seksmisja, nic śmiesznego
Kiler 1&2? Seksmisja? Chlopaki nie placza? e=mc2? Vinci? Testosteron? Dzien swira? Poranek Kojota? Series like Blok Ekipa, Egzorcysta…
WTF are you on, my man? Polish comedy is pure fucking gold. Saying that as a non-polish person.
Which Polish historical movies? I don’t remember any good modern historical movie.
The Historical Comedies are the best tho, *Giuseppe in Warsaw* has to be one of my favorites
90s and early 2000s was the golden age of Polish comedy, in my opinion
Don’t watch new Polish comedies. If you won’t watch these, you’ll be fine.

Polish “comedies” is the shittiest shit possibile, I dont know who gives money to those “directors” for making this crap
It looks like after 1989 comedies were considered a non-serious endeavour, unworthy of a true artist. There were a few lucky outliers like Killer, Chłopaki nie płaczą, Poranek kojota or Rozmowy kontrolowane. Marek Koterski had a good hand for comedy, however he preferred to do tragicomedies, like Dzień Świra or Nic Śmiesznego.
Later producers and actors started treating comedies as quick cash grabs, where you don’t have to do your best, just fit within the budget and everybody walks away with a decent profit. If they have a good script, this can lead to a decent movie, like Testosteron or, arguably, first part of Listy do M. Most of the time, I have doubts if they even bother with having a script, and the results are, predictably, shit.
I enjoyed listy do m 5. Maybe because of depression.
Old comedies are pretty good, it’s just the modern ones that follow the same shitty formula
Aren’t they filmed in TV episodes and then they make the movie by pasting them all together
how very dare you
lol
Cuz you have sad history

You should watch Mietczynski’s “Masochista” playlist on YT
Umm what? Polish historical movies suck lol
Why polish bla bla bla
Jak ja nie nawidze waszej soy boyowej dupy uuu jestem polakiem ale napisze na reddicie po angielsku post żeby poczuć sie lepszy i w komentarzach też jesteśmy wszyscy lepsi uuu piszemy po angielsku
Lubie angielski ale to jest powalone troszeczke
Chyba że autor zna tvn ale nie jest polakiem to szanuje + jak ktoś powie ogh bo jak ktoś nie jest z polski to nie zrozumie
JEST NA POLSKIM REDDICIE to chyba na tym polega żeby był polski tematem głównym nie?
Niech sobie przetłumaczy albo coś
I uważam że to wszystko podchodzi z waszego małego ego które jest łechtane podczas pisania w innym języku na reddicie bo czujecie się wtedy lepiej bo naprawde wątpie żebyście bardzo byli zaciekawienie TVNem xDD
Bez obrazy dla wszystkich

As someone unfamiliar with Polish cinema, what are some good recs for Polish historical films and comedies? Other genres are acceptable.
Actually polish comedies were awesome, same as polish gangster movies… Unfo this went down the drain few years ago already.
older polish comedies are literally the funniest shit, I’ve never laughed harder
The best Polish movies are comedies, Seksmisja, Jak rozpętałem II Wojnę Światową, Miś, Killer, Dzień Świra, Sami Swoi, first and second Kogel-Mogel and probably more
Old Polish comedies are gold. New ones are shit
Some older Polish comedies are okay, but even the good one are so. fucking. sad. Poles can’t create comedies without trying to make it laugh through tears type of humour
You obviously haven’t seen modern historical movies that have been made in the last 7 or so years.
I still enjoy 13 posterunek
I think comedy everywhere is just a drying out genre since everything is a lot more subjective
Then I was kid I remember old polish comedy trilogy with name “neighbors” or something like that. First part was about 1945 period and last about 1980s. As I remember it was quite interesting and funny. P.S. I am not Polish.
If you want something to just watch and chill and sometimes laugh, go for “13 Posterunek”. Most of it is on YouTube 😀
