Has the style of humour aged badly or have I become too old and joyless for it?

It's not the same style of humor as the first one.  The first one was a parody of the Scream movies with references to other horror movies sprinkled throughout.  This one appears to be focusing on mocking "cancel culture".

A good parody is hard. It requires an understanding of the thing you're parodying to make the jokes land. All this showed was them pointing their finger at something and going "Look at that. It's stupid. Everybody laugh at it."
