I always get hate for this but Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
For years I heard it be revered as the best comedy film of all time, it was hyped up so much, then I finally saw it… And didn’t even laugh once.
That taught me that hype is a powerful thing (look at Cyberpunk for instance), because whatever our mind comes up with, will never live up to the actual final product.
But that British sense of humor is quite different. I, on the other hand, thought that it was hilarious, and endlessly quotable. But I also like a good bit of the other Monty Python comedy.
I would bet a good portion of that is hearing the jokes many times over before seeing it. I liked it, but also saw it at a young age before I had heard the jokes repeated to death.

I like it a lot but can totally understand this.
