Funny FAIL
I’m not a comedian, I’ve never been paid to tell a joke. But, because I have a pulse, I do know what “funny” is.
For the past 10 years or so, Adult Swim (Cartoon Network’s night time alter-ego) has been trying to sell what funny is, or I guess should be, according to them. As I’m sure it has been said before… “That’s not funny”.
America is on an out-of-control spiral into penis jokes mixed with random-thoughts-of-an-idiotic-Hollywood-douchebag humor. And you idiots out there are eating it up!
Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job: This is, quite possibly the largest bag of shit that’s ever hit Television. Believe it or not, this ass-fest actually has FANS. People that turn on their TV’s and actually WATCH the show. I caught an episode a few months ago, thinking “I’ll give this a shot”. My thoughts? This isn’t even a comedy show. There are no funny parts, no humor at all. Just a long loosely strung together list of awkward and sexually ambiguous circumstances.
The Boondocks: Another Adult Swim trophy of fail. Apparently, this network is under the impression that America still wants to hear “black guys are like this, white guys are like that” jokes. Yeah… That was funny when Richard Pryor did it, 30 years ago. Now, I’m sure someone will claim that this show is some kind of edgy satire or brilliant showcasing of racism and how it is still alive today, or some such whining… Don’t bother with the hate mail, if you want to stop racism, STOP MAKING SHOWS THAT ILLUSTRATE STEREOTYPICAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN RACES.
Fat Guy Stuck in Internet, The Mighty Boosh, and many others: See Tim and Eric show above. Exact same description.
As long as the American public continues to watch this crap, Hollywood will continue to pump it out. It all comes down to dollars. And the stupidity doesn’t stop here! Full feature movies are moving in this direction. Borat, Scary Movie (actually ANYTHING that has a Wayans brother’s name attached to it), Talladaga Nights, Epic Movie, Little Nicky, and countless others are only proliferating the decay of humor.
Anyone ever seen Idiocracy? It’s funny because it’s HAPPENING. Wake up people! Hollywood is TELLING you what funny is, and you are unquestionably buying it!
