I fail to see how this is funny.

[DrEmo]

I've never understood "Pot humor" I just don't think people taking recreational drugs and spouting cliches is funny.

The only ONE exception I've made to this is on South Park where in one episode Towelie says "Man... I don't even know what's goin' on" while stoned (he's always stoned) and, for some reason, it made me laugh.

Oh, Game Dogs...
I gave them an honest chance, I really did. "The show just started," I said, "of course they're going to need a few episodes to find their voice." The first episode actually got me to smirk amusedly...once. Their second or third episode (I can't remember which) got a smirk AND a giggle. "Oh!" I thought, "they're getting somewhere!" But no, an episode later I realized that watching Game Dogs is like scuffing your foot against the ground and in the dirt you think you see a hint of something golden and shiny. You excitedly start brushing the dirt away in the hopes of treasure, only to find an old, oxidized beer can. The letdown is lessened by the realization that, of course, you never strike gold in shallow dirt - you just find trash.

That was strangely poetic.
I enjoyed it.

Everything Ricky Gervais touches. I find his stuff utter crap for the most part.

Also, Jimmy Carr. Why does anyone think that kid is gods gift to comedy?

Because he is. They both have a unique style not everybody gets it.

XKCD, Monty Python, The Mighty Boosh, Will Ferrel, the list goes on.

You find XKCD and Monty Python unfunny? Wow. I never thought I'd see the day. May I ask as to why you do not find them humourous?

The guy who does XKCD is whole-heartedly obsessed with internet culture and won't stop jamming meme references and other silly shit in-between complicated maths jokes that are above my head.

Monty Python, I dunno, it's just not my brand of humour. Admittedly, the only one I've watched is Life of Brian, but I sat through and none of it tickled me.

I get where you're coming from with XKCD. There's a few jokes (mostly the math ones) that I do not get, but I just look up whatever the hell he's joking about, then it's funny again.

Life of Brian is sort of different from their other movies and Flying Circus. It's their "Love It of hate It" movie. The humour wasn't as out right ridiculous as. say, Holy Grail, which i think is most people's introduction to Monty Python. I'd suggest giving Holy Grail a chance, and looking up the Pirates of Crimson Permanent Assurance (though it's part of Meaning Of Life), Spanish Inquisition, Dennis Moore, How Not To Be Seen, Wink Wink Nudge Nudge, Silly Olympics, and Upperclass Twit of the Year skits. I think they're a pretty good representation of their humour.

If you still don't like them, well, I've done all I can.

Cheers.

Fred from YouTube, and just some of the shit that people post on Facebook. These weird videos they find, and they always get posts back like "Thas. Was. AWESOME." or "LOL!!!!!" and I'm sitting there thinking, "Uh..... what?" i.e. Googling Boobies [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXL8cCnvSHk].

OOH! YouTube Poops. They're just annoying. I don't get it.

Disaster Movie, Epic Movie, Meet The Spartans, etc. It's just too much. Maybe it's funny on some fundamental level, but I think it's stupid - and I like shows like Robot Chicken.

Oh, Game Dogs...

Me, too. That was lovely to read.

I actually like AT4W, but to each there own i geuss.


OT: Salad Fingers, Really, the sort of dark humor it had never appealed to me.

EDIT: Also, the magority of whats on Youtube in general really, since there' really only a select few channles i enjoy watching.

 

[ShadowWolf93]

The title sounds like someone showed Fred videos to Darth Vader. Was that funny?

On topic: I don't find Jack Dee's show Lead Balloon all that funny but, y'know, subjective opinion and all that.

I've found that. I mean, there's dry British humour, kinda like David Mitchell style, be it in Peep Show or anything else, and then there's Jack Dee. It is dry to the point of depressing...and unfunny. MIGHTY BOOSH is a major one for me. Most of my friends adore the show, but I don't get it at all. It's a bunch of creepy characters speaking in silly accents occassionally soiled further by bad musical numbers. But hey "subjecive opinion" and all that.

 

[Pyotr Romanov]

This:

Uhh... I don't get it. Then again, I guess that's why you posted it here.

OT:
New Kids. It's Dutch though, so I doubt a lot of you know what it is.

This, too. People say the Dutch original is better, and I didn't even like that, so...

YouTube poops are annoying. I liked, nay, loved them. They were off the wall, offensive, unpredictable and just a fun experience... back in 2008. Nowadays they're just piles upon piles of stock footage and overused 4Chan memes.

AVGN. Seriously, he just angerly yells about old games that I don't know anything about.

 

[Tireseas_v1legacy]

The office.
Nepolian Dynomite.
Will Ferral Movies.

'Nuff said.

 

[Jolly Madness]

Don't kill me now, but I hate Jim Carrey.

 

[Do4600]

This:

I would never do this on Escapist but - because of this video, I'm starting a YouTube flame war.

I laughed at the punch (1:50-2:00), it's really well timed, the rest isn't funny.

This happened when I watched The Daily Show for the first time. I'd heard it was clever and funny, but I didn't crack a smile once. I can only assume that the American humour just didn't appeal to me. Not that I don't find most other American comedies funny.

Don't worry, as an American I don't even find that show funny. It's just Jon Stewart acting like a clown behind his desk while talking about political stuff... There's nothing smart behind anything he says, it's just a bunch of showboating..

A lot of stuff on Comedy Central is really dumb...

AVGN. Seriously, he just angerly yells about old games that I don't know anything about.

It's kinda fun when he plays something you've played before, though.

 

[Stoic raptor]

I dont know. I find most jokes and comedy funny, no matter if its a stupid joke or a cleverly thought out one.

 

[Nicarus]

Borat and Bruno. I don't get how people find those movies funny. They outright disgust me with how stupid they are.

Oh, and some of those Sonic's commercials too. A couple of them are clever, but most of them make it sound like anyone that goes there is an idiot.
