Prachet Overated?

Hey, I've been traveling a lot recently and brought along a few Discworld novels to read b/c Prachet was apperently a comedy genius.
They're...ok? I mean to read on a plane or as a two minute distraction or something.
The jokes are honestly rare* and repetitive to a degree I initially couldn't believe. Story-wise it's hard to ever feel tense. The relative strengths of all the characters are so incredibly arbitrary it's always possible for an old lady to beat a dragon to death with her handbag b/c 'lolololololo WORLD OF COMEDY' and of course in that book the dragon gets literally farted into submission for no adequately explained reason.
I mean the man wrote basically a book a month. It's shocking they're as coherent as they are. Am I just not British enough to appreciate the humor?

This is an honest question. I wanna know if I'm missing something or is my taste in comedy just really bad or what.
* not counting words being mispronounced
