That is one of the biggest failing of the PT is it was never funny. Whenever it tried it just came off as bad lines read by the actor. Remember in AOTC, when ObiWan is chasing Zam Weisel in Coruscant and Anakin goes to find a speeder, and when they finally catch up with each other, ObiWan asks him where he has been? Anakin says, "Oh, yo know, I was........." I don't remember the exact words Anakin said, but it just wasn't funny! Every attempt at humor in the PT was just forced and wasn't funny. The OT was very funny, mostly between Han, Leia, and Luke, it wasn't forced, and it was the first scifi movie that was serious yet hysterical too. That combo is the reason I love those three movies.
