Things you dont find funny

Recommended Posts

Everyone has one. What are some of the things you have seen on tv or in a movie that the world has LOLed at but you sit and go "WTF?". For me it has to be the Rick James skit on Chappelle's Show. Its a little funny but everyone thought/thinks its just drop dead hilarious. To me the Prince skit was funnier.

I wasn't aware the world thought Norm MacDonald was funny. He seemed like a niche guy to me.

 

I think my answer is most things. I very rarely enjoy heralded comedy, and the comedy I do like is generally very fringe stuff which nobody else gets.

I agree, I never thought the Rick James skit was that funny. The Wayne Brady skit, now that was hilarious.

 

I personally don't find Adam Sandler movies that funny. I think Ebert pinpointed the big problem in one of his reviews - acting stupid isn't funny if the person acting stupid knows they're acting stupid. Then, in my opinion, it just becomes like your friend acting stupid to make you laugh - which may be funny in person, but not when you're supposed to accept the reality of the characters on screen.

Seinfeld. It is NOT FUNNY.

 

"Hey look Jerry, I met a girl!"

"But she has a small amount of hair behind her ears."

"Oh no, I better debate whether or not that is okay for 30 minutes."

 

Audience: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

NO. SHUT THE FUCK UP. YOU SUCK.

 

Jesus christ.

Kings of comedy. Got great reviews, was pretty damn bad standup.

 

M*A*S*H. Liked the movie, HATED the show.

 

Oh, and Dude where's my car? That was an abomination. The ONLY remotely funny parts were the parts they showed in the commercial. I HATE it when that happens. That movie SUCKS.

Friends

Does anyone here find Friends funny? Anyone? Bueller?

 

 

To me, Everybody Loves Raymond just isn't funny. I also find Futurama overrated. It is funny, but it's not a comedic masterpiece.

Friends

Seinfeld

American Pie series

Saturday Night Live, the most painfully unfunny thing on television now

MAD TV, second only to SNL in painfully unfunny

 

 

That would be the short list.

I enjoy Friends. And Seinfeld. Just go the DVD's to.

He is, and I think he's actually more sarcastic than funny.

<raises hand>

 

The early seasons were pretty consistently funny, the last few not so much.

 

Neilsens would seem to indicate that people think Leno is funny. I've no idea why...

You'd seriously put MAD TV over SNL? I've always hated MAD TV and liked SNL, but can't say I'm watching either of them currently so if MAD has surpassed SNL, that's sad. Anyhow, Napolean Dynamite wasn't funny and everyone I know loves it. It only had a few good one liners.

I really don't like Friends.

 

I get a kick out of Seinfeld, but I'm a casual viewer of that program primarily.

 

I'm not sure why everyone seems to love Aqua Team Hunger Force so much. It has it's moments, but it's not the hilarity that it's been made out to be.

tough crowd: most overrated show. everyone is funny except Colin. I always make out his jokes before he does, the bumbling idiot.

I dont think I've talked to anyone who likes Jay Leno. I can't stand him either.

 

I've never really found Mad TV to be funny (except for a choice few of the cast like Phil Lamaar).

 

I don't get the total Seinfeld dislike, but then again I'm not bombarded with all the sitcoms down here so I can still get into them.
