I guess we as an older generation just can't find humor in what the present day youth deem funny. Perhaps, but I believe it's simply because Sonic Boom lacks humour, though thats probably what someone old would say.

But looking back, I recall that AoSTH wasn't that funny and mostly relied on slapstick humour, such as Sonic making fools of Scratch and Grounder. But I still think the show was immensly good compared to Sonic Boom because it was still to a degree both funny to watch and fun to watch because it didn't force it's jokes. At the time, Dr. Robotnik wasn't afraid to be a terrorist, such as threatening to destroy towns or using powerful weapons against innocent people. He knew he was rotten and horrible and adopted it to pride.

Maybe it's because of genuine terrorism being in the news for the last decade and parents concerned over what their children are watching in a modern age, thats why the dumbing down of cartoons, though not to say all cartoons are terrible.

Which is why Dr. Eggman himself from the games has also become more soften for the modern audience, such as the whole story of Sonic Lost World.

But on topic, yeah I think AoSTH is so much more better than Sonic Boom when it comes to comedy.
