It's also pretty dire. The Red Green car sketches are sometimes funny and usually at least amusingly-delivered, but the rest of the show... ehhhh.

FactsAreUseless posted:It's public television humor, it's never going to be funny but it might be interesting. Every now and then I catch a bit of Says You! on NPR. I genuinely can't communicate how unfunny it is. It's like the opposite of humor. It's been running for years, people have been writing and listening to Says You! for years, and that is almost unnerving. If you were on a road trip and you stopped in a small town diner and Says You! was on the radio, and everyone in the diner was laughing and genuinely enjoying it, you would get the gently caress out of there as fast as possible because if you stayed there overnight those people would eat you or lay eggs in you or something.

Ya I know a guy from Wisconsin that likes it. It appeals to morbidly boring people.

Aside from the occasional "heh" at a song on Dr Demento, American radio in total probably hasn't had anything resembling humor since the invention of television.

Or when it comes on do you just get lulled into a kind of fugue state and have no memory of what happens until the show ends and you come to with your hands soaked in blood to the elbow and an inexplicable feeling of deep contentment that last until the next week's episode of Says You?

My super conservative parents listened to APHC all the time when I was a kid. I think they even had some Tales from Lake Wobegon on, like, officially licensed cassettes. I haven’t given it enough thought to figure out whether or not that makes any kind of sense. Tell you what, though, I really miss The Vinyl Cafe. If it turns out Stewart McLean was a bad dude, never ever tell me please.

MizPiz posted:This is unironically true, NPR has THE WORST type of liberal humor. Here in Canada we have to put up with putrid humour like 'the Debators' on our public radio, and 'Air Farce' on our TV (which someone vouched for earlier in this thread and I _dare_ them to post a sketch from that show in this thread). The CBC thinks something is funny if the person saying it uses a 'funny' voice or face.

I grew up listening to APHC and when I was little I didn't really have the attention span to actually pay attention to it so I mostly reacted to the voice and I was always so confused by why my parents insisted on listening to this extremely sad person ramble for an hour or so.

For some weird dumb reason, an independent station in NEOhio aired Royal Canadian Air Farce; I saw a sketch bagging on Leonard Cohen that made me laugh, but then the rest was so, so very grim. In retrospect, the Leonard Cohen sketch was also very very Not Good. Another show nobody watched:  I liked it v  v

I thought Air Farce was hilarious when I was like 12 or 13. It's absolutely loving dire though. I think This Hour has 22 minutes was actually sometimes funny when Mercer was on it.
