That tends to be the fashion with comedies nowadays. They're more Dramadies than Comedies.

Tv comedies have always had pathos, but I think the first that really went in for the kill to make people physically cry was John Sullivan with Only Fools and Horses, and that's were the influence of today's comedy writers come from.
