You laughed at your own statement...and it was a word you clearly feel is so offensive you had to star out two letters in the middle. Edgy.Sheinen said:

****. See? We can be adults here.
Tex Avery, Dave Barry, and Mike Rowe with a bit of Monty Python thrown in. I'm very well-versed in humor of all stripes but it's the Screwy Squirrel archetype with a touch of self-deprecation (via Rowe) and keen eye for the ridiculous (from Barry) that forms the bulk of my jokes.
A great deal of stand-up comics if I had to limit it down to one, but my sense of humor is very multifaceted, though I typically find myself using sarcasm to keep myself (and those around me) entertained.
....I'm sorry, but did you say Screwy Squirrel archetype? As in, there is enough of that specific character type to merit an archetype. I feel compelled to laugh at you because unless there are like hundreds of crazy squirrels running around in books, movies and music that I'm totally oblivious to, you completely misused the word archetype. Here is where your Rowe-ian self deprecation can now come in handy.SimuLord said:

Considering its widespread usage in culture, I'd say it's close enough to an "archetype" that even a staggering display of linguistic incompetence on my part can't make too much of a dent in it.
Humanity and it's constant repetitive failures to exist peacfully. Its like watching a cat try to walk through a big glass window thats closed. it can see whats on the other nicer side, it knows it has to open the window somehow, and the latch is right there but the cat is too stupid to pull it. So it just keeps backing up and ramming the window at full speed doing more harm than good, neh?
so i just sit back and enjoy the show, waiting with a mop to clen up the impending mess that will happen.

My sense of humour is generally very cynical and evil and so i have been inspired by Frankie Boyle.
Its always been very dark, sarcastic and cynical, or completely random (see where I get the name?). It comes out as something fairly similar to the Unskippable videos.
Probably inspired by a mix of Monty Python, Robot Chicken, South Park and Family Guy.

I had no cable until I was 9 years old. All I had to watch were old Monty Python's Flying Circus on public tv. Then when I got cable I watched a lot of Johnny Bravo, Ed, Edd, And Eddy, and Mystery Science Theater 3000. I also owe a lot to my Uncle Kevin and Uncle Mikey.
I am also delightfully mad, you know.

The link is unnecessary. I know the character. But my point is that for you to say "Screwy Squirrel Archetype" is to mean that this character has been reproduced, bit for bit in many different mediums. Instead, Screwy Squirrel fits into a archetype of anthropomorphic talking animals that pick on humans or other anthropomorphic talking animals. That is a very big archetype, that your boy Tex Avery helped to spawn. Don't use words for the sake of using them.SimuLord said:
Like for many people here Monty Pythong has been very much fed my sense of humor when I was young. Also finnish show Studio Julmahuvi (Studio Cruelfun) and life itself.
Nowdays it's much of INTERNUTS that make me giggle (TGWTG, SpoonyOne, 4chan, SomethingAwful and Questionable Content).
