Yeah, I love the GB film and the animated series, but I never thought it was that funny. It has a few funny scenes and lines here and there, but I never saw GB as a comedy. It was a supernatural fantasy to me, and the things that appeal to me as a kid were the costumes, their equipment, the Ecto -1 (my favorite car along with the Batobile), the firehouse and the monsters. Also, the cast was good. The jokes or the humor is the last thing that comes to mind when I think of GB.
If you saw it as a kid I guess I can see that because Murray's dry, sarcastic humor would go over most kids heads. I grew up with a dry wit family and was familiar with Murray and Aykroyd since my parents were SNL fans. While GB is a sci-fi fantasy, it's also hilarious.
