I have been laffing at Charlie Brooker on Screenwipe. I still can't stand his column.

I am now remembering a thread where Jess talks about liking Earl, or My NAme is Earl, or whatever that tv show that comes on before the Office is called. OMGWTF!

dan also thinks Drawn Together is funny. he is not a good judge of comedy obv.
― chaki, Thursday, 25 October 2007 22:48 (sixteen years ago) link
Drawn Together isn't funny anymore. It's far too self-aware about how horrible it is which kills all of the "Oh my God, I can't believe they thought this would be a good idea" lolz.
― HI DERE, Thursday, 25 October 2007 22:50 (sixteen years ago) link
I kind of enjoyed the 15 minutes of Drawn Together I saw... but you could REALLY sense that this wasn't going to be around for long.
My sister's bf likes this show that looks like 8 bit graphics... you know, that one?? Not. Funny.

I am thinking of the one with the anthropomorphised animals. BAnal real-life conversations coming from clay animals... I guess it's not Drawn Together.

no. i like that show. its funneys.

I've never understood why athf is more popular than Tom Goes To The Mayor. But then again, I'm a huge Strangers With Candy fan and prefer my comedy along those lines.
― Spinspin Sugah, Friday, 26 October 2007 05:13 (sixteen years ago) link
tom goes to the mayor is somewhat difficult visually and in the delivery of the characters where athf is cute, cartoony food items with slapstick humour.
― chaki, Friday, 26 October 2007 05:16 (sixteen years ago) link
not really that hard to figure out.
But the visual characteristics are what make it so appealing. It's so odd/funny to see characters that are stuck in suspended animation, mid-speech. It's like the film Awakenings, but you're actually supposed to laugh at it. One of the few shows I can watch on mute and still laugh.
ATHF is funny for autistic, 13yo stoners...or South Park fans that have outgrown South Park.

― chaki, Saturday, 27 October 2007 01:49 (sixteen years ago) link
most things that try to be funny aren't, but I only notice (and despise) the stuff that people constantly try to shove in my face to get me to laugh with them about...
99.9% of gossip writing anything on NPR Dennis Miller (never was) Christopher Guest political slogan type humor ("lol we have a bush and a dick for president rofl"), t-shirts, bumper stickers, bloggers, etc. lolcats Goldentine Larry the Cable Guy the "Phil Collins speech" in American Psycho Spoof movies Weird Al "Chocolate Rain" puns people who say "sarcasm is the lowest form of humor"

ATHF is not funny one big reason being that there's such weak context anytime you want to do the 'insane, irreverent and arbitrary' schtick, there has to be much stronger context space ghost C2C had that... and it was way way WAY funnier and more entertaining as a result ATHF is just a huge mess

yeah, 'cause it's puns.

Keegan Michael Key, presenter of the Planet's Funniest Animals.
Painfully unfunny. And the more unfunny he gets, the louder the crowd applauds because some dude is holding up a "laugh" sign behind the camera. Not only that, but he EXPLAINS jokes. You don't explain jokes! Never! ("My cat invited 100 other cats for a party, but nobody came... That's what happens when you throw a POOL PARTY for CATS!" (silence) "THEY HATE WATER!" (audience absolutely explodes with laughter) )
Poor guy probably thinks he's the shit, but man... :-(
― StanM, Wednesday, 31 October 2007 23:30 (sixteen years ago) link
Haha, I've never seen that but it sounds kind of awesome, unfunny shoving unfunniness into unfunny jokes by overexplaining them...I like that stuff.
In HS me and my friends made a fake "America's Funniest Home Videos," and the kid playing Bob Saget help up this Monopoly house and did this monologue with too many pauses: "See this house?...It's my producer's house...My producer is poor!...That's why he lives in this house!....My producer can't afford a big house...This is his house...You know, my producer was telling me he lived in this house, and I laughed because he's poor!...He doesn't have any money so his house is small!" And that's a nostalgic thing for me so maybe that's why yr thing is making me laff Stan M.

Are you talking about the Animal Planet host that does kind of a combination of news report/funniest home videos thing? Because he is not funny. Just aimed at small children and shut-in's.
