Is there anyone out there who isn't funny?

by **Albrenia** » Thu Jan 16, 2020 12:14 am

I've been told I'm funny but usually by extremely biased sources, so I don't know if I'm actually very funny at all.

My favourite kind of humour when I want a laugh is somewhat offensive but not mean-spirited. I don't like mean-spirited humour... although I do get some laughs out of watching stupid people trying to act cool fuck up hilariously.

Ooh, I know that one. They get to the gates of Heaven and Saint Peter asks them a question.

I make race jokes all the time although it's nothing too edgy.

When sociopathy is mistaken for comedy.

Or the fact that people who are wound up like tops and take everything way too seriously are demonstrably less happy and more difficult to be around.

A world without edgy humor is a boring one

I've never actually seen any of Amy Schumer's material.

This is not a person, but I still find them unfunny.

TV Shows that have laugh tracks, looking at you Big Bang Theory.

Fawlty Towers had them?

‘Well may I ask what you expected to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plains?'

Was that the one on the end of a Vicar of Dibley episode once?

Definitely one of the funniest jokes I've heard.

Everyone answering 'me' as a joke has, perhaps with unintended irony, rather demonstrated the thread point.

I envy you. Most of the jokes are either stolen and told worse than the originals or are just plain awkward and not funny.

I didn't think I had heard of her so I looked up some of her jokes.

Can I just check, she's supposed to be a comedian, right?

Basil if you gamble again I will cut your balls off.
You will have to sew them back on first.

I punch criminals in an attempt to end crime and have an murderous clown as my enemy, excuse me for not having a sense of humor.

An Alan Smithee Nation wrote:Michael McIntyre, for me anyway. And clowns, mimes, ventriloquists...

He was the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car talking about driving in the "loser lane" and how he was trying to buy a jerrycan but couldn't remember what it was called, right?

You at least have a solid excuse.

Watching your parents getting shot to death immediately after you've all been to see a Zorro film would scar anyone for life.

I am a right winger and I know her.

I will even concede you use to be funny. And our politics are very different.

Edit: oh you mean kathy, you are probably right, but I knew her

Kathy Griffin started doing standup in the 90s, had a supporting role in an NBC sitcom in the late 90s, had her own reality TV show for 5 years, released 6 Grammy-nominated comedy albums (and won in 2014), holds the Guinness World Record for most TV specials by a comedian, and participated in 2 USO tours.

But why should facts get in the way of your "Durrr, RiGhT wInGeRs ArE sToOpId RaCiSt InBrEd ReDnEcK hIcKs!" spiel?

I’m no Trump fan at all, but the fake head was pretty tasteless and inappropriate.
