There are so many cold hard truths contained in some of the sketches, about the state of our society. Maybe you should stick to southpark if you don't "get it".

Paranoid Android Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Saying somebody doesn't get something jsut because they don't like is a terrible argument. I don't really like south park but it's still better at what it is than monkey dust. Observational humour can be great but monkey dust just isn't funny.

Marillionboy Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 I loathe Dibley: did anyone see the New Year Special which turned into a charity appeal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marillionboy Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Parts of it aren't meant to be funny: does this mean they would have failed if people had laughed at those bits? If it ain't meant to be funny it ain't comedy. I was struck when watching that "Comedian's Comedian" that Eric Morecambe and Charlie Chaplin, and Peter Cook, have never made me laugh. Morecambe was comfortable and cozy but not in my view hysterically funny. Chaplin may well have been clever, but at the end of the day the point is to raise a chuckle surely.Although as this thread proves, one person's meat is another's Ben Elton.

The joke on Tuesdays's show:" Karen Carpenter was my favourite...i bet she's old and fat now" was both disgustingly shocking and hilarious (if u know she died of anorexia).

Hardcore Mel Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 I'd sit through friends and laugh about twice. It's not that funny comedy.Anyone who voted League Of Gentlemen doesn't understand brillaint comedyi hate it when people say that if someone doesn't like a comedy, it's because they 'don't understand it.' what a sweeping presumption of your own intellect. people just find different things funny, which is why some will laugh at, and tell, dead baby jokes, whilst others find the thought utterly repulsive.

redstarsupervillain Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 I don't really find most comedies entertaining. Futurama, Family Guy and the like can be good, though. Series' get repetitive so quickly. For example, who else is sick of Little Britain!?! All the episodes are almost exactly the same! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JockeySnogger Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Some more pieces of toss: New Simpsons (beyond 1999 a.k.a The day the creator and brains left), little britain, New southPark, Royle Family - Jesus Tap Dancing Christ that is awful!
