Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm glad there are other people out there that see this show for what it is, its a bunch of grown men pretending to be teenagers swearing at each other. Thats it, that is the whole thing, how its won so many awards is beyond me.JasonKaotic said:

Motherf*cking Friends.
Anything with Charlie Sheen in it. Any merits he might have as a writer or comedian are overshadowed by how much of a cock he is.
I think the only other thing would be new Family Guy. After they got cancelled, they just ended up with unconnected joke after unconnected joke, and it just ended up being a generic structure of episode (Peter gets something, Peter messes around with it for a bit, goes too far, messes stuff up, 'learns' something at the end of it all) with some random pop culture references and randomly pushed together jokes.
Other than that, most things entertain me pretty easily.

Oh oh oh, thought of another! Glee. Didn't see it mentioned yet and I absolutely hate the shit out of that show. I cannot find a single redeeming thing about it, or honestly figure out why people would like it. Even stuff like Jackass, while I don't like it, I can at least see why someone might find it funny. I cannot say the same for Glee. I just don't understand.
Well...
-South Park: They think of one joke and milk it like a dead horse. That is to say, in a crude and ineffective manner. After that, they just rely on "shock humor", which isn't really humor. Basically, they show the audience something really gross, and everyone let's out this nervous chuckle. It's like horror movies that try to scare you with sudden jumpy-moments. You might jump, but you're not actually scared: You were just surprised. Shock humor works exactly the same way. Which leads us to...
-Anything by Judd Apatow (Funny People, Superbad, Pineapple Express). Pretty much for the "shock humor" thing. So...many....dick jokes....
-Sitcoms that aren't trying: You know the type, where every single episode is a cliche from a million other sitcoms. The cheap cash-ins of televison. I don't see them regularly or anything, but I've seen a few episodes as my friends are flipping channels. They're so....lazy. In every sense.
-Racially themed stand-up: Yes, you are black. Yes, other people are white. No, this is not funny in and of itself. Especially when you start talking about the differences between them...and then just make shit up. It doesn't even make sense. Think of actual jokes, please.
Uh...That probably covers it.

Annoying Orange.
Those Call of Duty ads with real life actors. The guns were fake, the explosions were Micheal Bay style and not realistic at all. It is a military themed game that was supposed to give a very close experience to modern war, according to previous marketing schemes. And nothing about it was funny. Not even a bad pun. Not even a fart joke. It did not contain anything that could make anyone buy that product (specially after giving the idea that everyone who joins the game is an immature noob and you will have to babysit them) and did not have any comic situation. Yet lots of people laugh at it.
Ray William Johnson. I get it, you make money by showing others' content.

Out of curiosity, how much How I Met Your Mother did you watch?
OT:
Seriously, all he does is go up on stage, make retarded faces and swear. Lowest common denominator bull. Hell, I was on a bus on a school trip a few years ago, and I was talking to my friend about stand up comedy and dropped the fact I dislike this guy. All the chavs on the bus proceeded to stare daggers at me and several were like "you don't like Lee Evans!?"
No, I don't like Lee Evans. What was your first clue? The bit where I specifically said "aw, I really hate Lee Evans"?
Oh, Ray William Johnson!ElPatron said:
I let out a cheer when he got banned. His commentary just distracts from the funny stuff, which is to say content he's ripped. "I review viral videos". Yes, because we really need your validation for entertaining things that get uploaded on the internet. Most viral videos tend to be accidental, so in what way do they need reviewing?
Why'd they unban him, anyway? I'd really like the "most subscribed" on youtube to go to someone deserving, like Vlogbrothers or 5secondfilms.
Because he is RWJ. That's how it works. If YouTube rips you to shreds if you are a lowlife but if your name is Ray William Johnson you can do whatever you want.Binnsyboy said:
I don't mind YouTube partners making money of content that they are showing (like showing a videoame being played), but when a youtuber steals the spotlight of those videos before they even reach a million views it's just wrong. Even if to be a YT partner you must produce all of the content shown.
I looked at your profile pic and you don't seem too worried about it.BarbaricGoose said:

For one, Shrek. Isn't doing anything for me. Donkey is obnoxious.
South Park (and our own 'national version' of it, Lords of Flies)
Simpsons... I tried to watch it this one time (the first seasons)... boring as hell
From the newer ones, definitely Big Bang Theory. As I saw it the first time, I thought "My god, this will get hate on the webs". It didn't. The best thing is, that I can understand most of the jokes in it... they just aren't funny. IT Crowd as well, but add that it was so low budget it hurt eyes.
How I Met Your Mother... boring, tiring... disturbing. Father is telling his kids how much chicks he banged before marrying... wtf. Especially just that it isn't funny for me.
In whole, American sitcoms that a) tell me when funny occurs, b) tend to have all this moralising... cliched moralising. Friendship, parents are cool etc, God, how obvious can that get?
Also every Polish sitcom I watched apart from "13. Precinct". That was funny as hell.

Date Movie, Scary Movie, Meet the Spartans, anything by Sacha Baren Cohen, Bridesmaids wasn't as funny as everyone said it was, various American Pies and above all: Napoleon Dynamite. I hate, hate, hate that movie for the time it stole from my life. Not worth it at all.
Any and all of the "Fail Compilations" on YouTube. They're obviously funny to enough people so as to keep making them, but all I see when watching them is a bunch of people receiving possibly life-threatening injuries. Some even have incidents were people DID die, and that's not funny at all, at least not to me.
To note, I don't actively search these out, either; StumbleUpon keeps bringing them to me no matter how much I thumb them down.

Jeff Dunham and his stupid puppets. I used to just be indifferent to him, but over time his most annoying quotes, like "I kill you!" and "Jeff Dun-HAAAAM!" have been permanently burned into my brain by constant repetition from his fans, and I hate him for it.
