Things you find woefully unfunny, but other people like.

[shrekfan246]

Everything that Sacha Baren Cohen has ever done or said, or will ever do or say, in regards to anything, ever, in the now, in the future, or in any parallel dimensions.

Interesting. I agree fully.

Call me crazy, but I dislike anything with a laugh track. It feels really annoying having the show tell me something was funny, and I should be laughing. It takes me right out of it.

That is one particular reason for why I liked seasons one through eight of Scrubs so much. With the exception of one episode designed to be a "typical" sitcom mock-up for about half the run-time, Scrubs was a comedy show that had the balls to act like a serious show. It was a half-hour show that thought it was an hour show. It also knew that silly, over-the-top comedy should occasionally be brought back down by serious, straight-faced drama or "real" moments.

As far as actually being on-topic: Apart from agreeing about Sacha Baron Cohen, the only thing I can think of off the top of my head would be the Adult Swim line-up of shows, with specific mentions going to Tim & Eric. The other shows I simply don't think are funny, but Tim & Eric are something that shouldn't even be on television, in my humble opinion.

EDIT: Actually, I've thought of another thing. Steve Carell. He is an actor who tries far too hard to be "funny", and ends up pulling "awkward" comedy as his main funny factor. I don't like "awkward" comedy very much, especially when the main character is over-acting far too much.

.[/b] Chef was the best character, and he is gone (R.I.P. Isaac Haze) but he ditched the show long before that, and good for him for it. And I am not even going to talk bout the whole political/pop culture message thing because it is too widely known to need reference. I liked this show a lot better when it was just 4 kids cussing, fending off aliens and talking to Christmas poo.

Well, Isaac left because he didn't like it that they made fun of Scientology, which he was a member of. To me that isn't "good for him for it", it just means that he was someone who could dish out, but not take jokes in return. Kind of made me dislike him. I personally still like South Park, but I can see why others don't.


OT: I can't see anything funny about Big Bang Theory. I have watched every episode, and I'm not sure I've laughed once whilst doing it.

 

[hazabaza1]

Michael Macintyre. Or whatever his name is. Also I was going to say Big Bang Theory but pretty much everyone here seems to hate it which makes me happy.

 

[Flight]

Seinfeld. I hated that show, but nearly everyone I know loved it. I just can't see the appeal, personally. Also, most comedy films these days are something I just don't find humorous.

 

[Super Six One]

Zooey Deschanel. Another one who can not act. She is a aweful mix of wooden and awkward. The Sci-Fi remake of The Wizard of Oz would have been good except the cast had to practically carry her around like a goddamn mannequin. Then she shows up in this new series The New Girl and is just even worse. I would not care at all except the first ep had Damon Wayans Jr who I love but is a very unappreciated actor. But no, that dead eyed Katy Perry knock off keeps getting work. I would honestly not be surprised to find out she is a aspie.

Yea, i totally agree, she is just so bland. That "New Girl" is just awful too, and amount of people who seem to love it baffles me. She seems to have been the reason the word "Adorkable" was spawned too, man i hate that word.

 

[Andaxay]

The only one that I can think of that's almost universally loved is Big Bang Theory.

For every second of that show I see, I swear it shaves off at least three of my brain cells.

I've legitimately gotten a headache while being forced to watch that god awful show.

I'm usually all for opinions and everything, but I legitimately think that the show is just downright bad. Whenever I hear my friends freaking out over how funny it is it makes me want to smack them upside the head.

Only reason I don't (most of my friends are comfortable with the "stop being stupid" whack as long as it isn't hard) is because they're so defensive about it for some reason. Seriously, even when people bash Halo or Dragon Age I only get defensive when they start lying about it. When I simply state that I hate the show, it isn't my thing, and that I find it unfunny (all matters of opinion, I've never stated that I think the show is shit to people I know like it) I get dirty looks.

It's confounding.

Wholeheartedly agreed and understood. I never watched it 'cause the adverts didn't draw me in, a friend of mine came around once and convinced me to watch one episode. So I sat and watched the entire thing. I maybe chuckled twice. It's just the type of humour that doesn't appeal to me and he was astounded that I hadn't really enjoyed it. I wouldn't go so far as to hate it, but I just didn't find it funny. He was laughing his head off and kept looking round to see if I was laughing. I wasn't.

I don't understand. EVERYONE told me what an incredible and funny film this was, and my friends made me watch it.

I spent the entire damn movie trying to figure out how to set people on fire through a TV screen, then pull their charred corpses out so I could beat my friends to death with them. Sadly, this state of mind only occurs when I'm very thoroughly unamused.

Omg I thought I was the only one who didn't like this movie. I remember all my classmates loving it for like forever.Eventually my older brother rented it and I watched it with him in the living room and I just didn't find it funny. I found it stupid....

 

[him over there]

Jeff Dunham, to paraphrase Doug Walker (who I also find terribly unfunny) Wow, that's ofensive and unfunny. It's just like Jeff Dunham.

That is exactly what I am suffering through with my peers and Project x. I mean they act like they're really going to the party in the film, which looks pretty shitty itself.

It sucks when you go through that stuff. I would how long the hype will last? Also have you seen the movies yet I just wondered? I honestly don't plan on going to see project x for one I'm not into found footage movies and two just like the hangover the humor is not my type.

 

[Darren716]

Project X, I went to see this udder abomination last Friday with a group of friends thinking it might beas good as the hangover was, I was completly wrong. All of the "humor" seemed very immature to me and I felt kind of embarased when everybody else in the theature (most of whom were people I go to school with) were laughing histaricly any time the film made a sophmoric remark about sex, drugs, or anyother "mature" topic.

 

[The Night Shade]

The Big Bang Theory Why? they just reference nerdy stuff and by doing it they think it's funny,look you could make a reference and make it funny but you need to have context or something most times they eating or talking and then nerdy reference and most times they don't know what they are talking about in one episode sheldon said that they could play Mario 64 together but you know what? Mario 64 is not a freaking MULTIPLAYER GAME in fact i think it's one of the few mario games that only have singleplayer, then Penny she's alright for the most part but sometimes she is ignorant to the point that is unbelievable but the worst it's sheldon he probably is the most annoying tv character of all time he is never funnyand BAZINGA is over-fucking-used but the actor who plays him is pretty good i have to say that. The laugh Track seems to last forever at every freaking second you hear those stupid laughs.

The Office: oh my good dwight and michael are horrible people in one episode some dude called Ryan accidentaly burns down something, is discovered in the ending but trough the episode we see michael the ignorant who doesn't know anything work related and he thinks he is sooooo smart but he isn't basicaly likes Ryan because he helps him with everything but when they discover that Ryan started the fire (Dwight discovered after doing something really stupid) he treats him like garbage and goes with Dwight in a milisecond,both of them laugh at his face because he made a mistake they are freaking Assholes but at least the rest of the cast is great if you take Dwight and Michael the show would be a lot better.

RANT OVER.

No, because I have never liked those sorts of movies, they're ridiculous and I don't know how you would ever make "We ruined a neighbourhood and the lives of everyone in it with our irresponsibilty" funny. Actually when I put it that way maybe I could watch it if I go into it with a condescending "Look at those fucking fucks" attitude.

 

[robotam]

Miranda. Apparently people do like it. Those people are idiots.
Also, "Mrs Brown's Boys". If you haven't seen it I'll describe the joke to you. Right, picture a man, now picture a man with women's clothes on. Haha, men don't wear dresses.

 

[Truniron]

Comedy TV-shows, especially those that uses laughing tracks. Why is it necessarily to use it? By request from friends, I´ve watched some of these shows, and as soon as that laughter appears, even how funny the joke was, I either change channel or turn of the TV to do something else.

Stand-up comedians should learn from a mime and close their mouths. All they do is tell different variations of the same joke, do nothing but yell, and repeat themselves all the time.

Honorable mentions: The Simpson (boring), Ray William Johnson (relentlessly boring) and Two and a Half Men (beyond-imaginable-boring)

 

[Riki Darnell]

Any british comedy. I get the jokes I just don't find them laugh worthy. The only exception is the Ricky Geravas Show only because the humor used there is just Ricky and Steve making fun of Karl (who's an idiot).

 

[darkcalling]

Napolean Dynamite.

Can someone please tell me where the jokes are? I will never understand why so many people loved this stupid, boring movie.

 

[renegade7]

Family Guy and South Park used to be funny but are now crap.
