I fail to see how this is funny.

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

Sarah Silverman Show. I'm a pretty well-humored(is that right?) guy, but Jesus Christ is that woman annoying.

 

[Toar]

Well crap, i was going to say Game Dogs...now ill just have to reiterate how crappy game dogs is.

Why is everyone down on Game Dogs? I haven't watched but one episode, and didn't laugh by the way, but why don't you whine on their fourum until they make it funny.

 

[beemoh]

Oh and most American comedians that I see on youtube. Though some are brilliant (Rich Hall, Reginal D Hunter) a lot just regurgitate each others jokes.

It might be very telling that both of those do most of their work in the UK.

 

[Sleekgiant]

Ok I've probably got ninja'd already but I'm to lazy to care. The Office, it's just boring, there I said it and don't quote me telling me how much I suck for not liking The Office. Now I'm going to watch something more entertaining, like paint dry.

 

[billy-j]

I'm gonna say Friends, seriously it's the most overated show in existance.

Basically everything Judd Apatow has ever done, especially Seth Rogan (loved when Family Guy made fun of the fact he's not funny) although saying that Michael Cera gets on my tits too, he was OK at first but he just keeps doing the exact same thing over and over again, now it's just irritating

The Mighty Boosh is terrible, basically some guys trying to do Monty Phython but because they're not as educated like the MP guys were, therefore it sucks.

Any romantic 'comedy' seriously, they're all the same story! ARGH!

Oh and of course Adam F'N Sandler

Yeah, I hate a lot of things that are supposed to make me laugh

Fred from Youtube, Larry The Cable Guy, Jeff Foxworthy, Jeff Dunham, Tyler Perry, and George Lopez.

 

[Ekonk]

Fred from youtube.

I know I shouldn't be suprised about it seeing as how stupid most youtube users are, but seriously, how in the fuck is that even considered to be comedy.

I just looked that up. And I cried. I cried manly tears.

But then I saw this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIh5DG4fFQc

And I knew I could look at myself in the mirror again.

Napoleon Dynamite. Most of my friends think it's funny, I'm just sitting there like "This is the worst movie EVER."

Also, that guy on Youtube who randomly yells curses and other things, I think it's just sad.

God, I hate that movie too. Just watching the first twelve minutes made my balls ache from the stupid. If I wanted to see someone monotone their lines then I would bring my buddies over when they get high and yell at them for an hour and a half.

Jeff Dunham, the Achmed the Dead Terrorist puppet guy
100,000,000 views on YouTube.

Holy shit, thank you! THANK you for reminding me about Jeff Dunham! I just don't get why people think he's funny. Ventriloquism just isn't that entertaining to begin with. Does he think using such worn out jokes with puppets will somehow make them better? The fact that he has his own show completely blows my mind.

Someone before mentioned the Angry Video Game Nerd. What I have to say about him is that he used to be funny for me. What I liked was when he used to sound more annoyed and sarcastic (most of his videos from 2006). But later on, he started to overact more often, going from irritated to super-angry for no reason; I can't stand that. That problem is especially apparent with the Nostalgia Critic. He has the potential to be funny, but he tends to go way overboard. Why people love that, I'll never know.

It is more like the opposite for me. I can laugh at most stuff that the people around me couldn't even chuckle. But i would think that it is quite related to the education, around here in eastern germany many of the older people can't laugh about western/american comedy.

As for some of the mentioned series here in this thread, i really like Big Bang Theory and Two and a half men. The later is still running but the former only made it a couple for about 3 months as i recall in free tv.

Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy, American Dad etc are realy shows where i can find myself laughing in about every scene and even after all those years.

Interestingly i can't laugh at most of the german comedians...

 

[Gauntes]

Considering that I'm emotionally dead inside, I can just say 'everything', but that'd be too easy

most of the Nostalgia critic, I couldn't even crack a smile without forcing myself
there will be brawl, though I don't think it fits in the 'humor' department
Ctrl-Alt-Delete is just unwatchable
and I didn't care for family guy or anything in relation with Seth Mcfarlane

 

[Cronqvist]

sorry for double post, had some browser issues

 

[Brad Shepard]

Jim Gafagin or however you spell his name, hes not funny, hes never going to get funny, go watch Gabriel Iglesias

 

[notyouraveragejoe]

That show The Big Bang Theory. Everyone I know loves it and thinks it's hilarious when it's just absolute shite. I even gave it a fair trial and sat through 2 full episodes, it just wasn't funny.

I completely agree.

 

[Gaderael]

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?

I whole heartedly agree with you on Will Ferrel. Man, that guy is highly over rated. The only funny thing he's done is his Alex Trebeck parodies on SNL.

Dane Cook. Yeah, I know, it's like picking on the short, fat, and retarded kid at the back of the school bus, but there it is. Cook is a fucking moron.

Most sitcoms are idiotic and unfunny. Like Seinfeld. Why did so many people find that funny. There was not one single character that you could relate to on the show. They were all jerks. So very annoying.

The American version of The Office. I've watched about ten fifteen episodes, trying to to like it, but I just cannot do it. I've never seen the British version so I cannot comment on it.

 

[Sixties Spidey]

The Hangover.

Fuck that movie to the gates of hell.

 

[SextusMaximus]

This:

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

 

[DrEmo]

I don't find XKCD funny. I'm not alone either; there's a whole blog full of people who think XKCD sucks.

What I find strange is that many XKCD fans I've told that either called me stupid, said "ur mom", or called themselves superior. And given that I willingly took AP Calculus and Physics in high school, I highly doubt that I'm stupid/they're superior.

XKCD has its moments, but come on, Cos (X) is NOT a punchline no matter HOW you look at it.

A lot of people who find XKCD funny just laugh at it to sound smart.

I find MadTV PAINFULLY unfunny. SNL is unfunny as hell, too. Family Guy... God, I feel stupid watching it, it's not funny and Seth McFarlane is a jackass.
It's always sunny in Philadelphia is just bad. It's unfunny and only hipsters think it's funny.

Fred is as funny as getting your arm cut off (No. Not like that. When the black knight got his arm cut off it was funny, when you get your arm cut off it's just painful.) It's just a kid screaming and trying to be 'random' (That's soooo betacomix 2005)

There are a lot of other things I think are stupid and unfunny, I just don't have the space to list/criticise them all.

(No tl;dr, please, I took time to write this wall of text.)

PS: Two and a half men is hilarious for one reason: The opening. Two creepy pedo-lookin' guys and a stupid looking kid singing "Men men men men" in an effeminate harmony is alarmingly disturbing but incredibly funny.
