Tree Bucket posted:I'm not sure I've seen this before. Got any examples? John Oliver's show is 95% this schtick. One time he gave an example (of some law that was passed or something) and did the "analogy->graphic->acting it out" thing three times in a row. I blame The Daily Show for really mainstreaming "applause jokes". They're not funny, but they are a statement of fact pointing out something stupid, so they get a nice clap instead of a laugh.

It is a breath of fresh air and it's really interesting to see a show devoid of mean, sarcastic humor that celebrates diversity. Blistex posted:John Oliver's show is 95% this schtick.

e-dt posted:everyone saying improv is correct but Home Movies is really good and its mostly improv (at least first season) so I assume it can be funny when not done by talentless hacks The whole series is "retroscripted" where they have an outline of what's going on in the scene, and they have written jokes to fall back on, but they did a ton of ad libbing and usually the final scene would be pieced together from the best parts of multiple takes. Good comedy really can occur organically like that, but Home Movies edited out all the stuff that makes unadulterated improv so crappy

mind the walrus posted:The Daily Show had some decent teeth in the early Bush years but even by 2003-4 the schtick was overbearing. Jon Stewart's nebbish voice is what plays in one of my personal hells. loving hack humor. <says something "edgy"> <tugs on collar and makes that loving "eh-heh" sound> <audience goes bananas> 1999 to just before 911 was the best, because they could still get those interviews where people didn't know what was up.

In TYOOL 2020 all possible silo'd humour has already been done and documented by the Internet, the only certified funny jokes are situational humour and parody (parody will be dead by the end of the year though)

You Are A Elf posted:Stupid forced sexual innuendo that the person making it basically starts jabbing you in the ribs with their elbow going "Eeh? Eeeeh?? EEEEEEEEEH???" while raising and lowering their eyebrows with the I feel this one on a deep, personal level. I have an online buddy (voice chat) who ALWAYS loving finds a way to force innuendo. It's to the point you almost have to filter what you're about to say in case literally any of the words could be used in a sexual context. Examples: Me - "That seems like it'd be pretty hard though." Friend - "I've got something HARD for you." Me - "It's just up ahead through that hole in the wall" Friend - "I'd like to get up in YOUR HOLE." It's a group of like six of us who have known each other for like 15 years, and sure sometimes I get it because maybe one other person will laugh and encourage it. But for like, at least 8 years now I've been making a point to literally not laugh or say anything in response. And like, sometimes it's when only the two of us are online so we'll just be playing a game and then a ridiculously forced innuendo hits the floor and we just silently ride it out. I'd like to think if it was me, I'd maybe learn? I don't know. Maybe it's good I typed this out. I feel like there will inevitably be a time where it just hits a nerve and I go on a 15 minute friendship-ending rant and maybe I've at least delayed that now.

Buddy: "Hey man I think I need to come clean, we have been friends for a while but I've got deep feelings for you. Feelings of a physical and sexual nature, but they are so much deeper than that. I think this is what it feels like to be in love. I want to spend the rest of my days with you by my side Grimdude." Grimdude: "Enough of the innuendo! Its not funny anymore!"

I dont know if it is hacky really but I hate the self-depricating stuff on Twitter, it is really contagious and unhealthy to normalize and ~meme~ that kind of stuff. People get worse from it and the intensity of it just seems to only escalate. Also I am sure people have already said the heckin goodest boy doggo birb snek, Do All The Things! stuff, sometimes I think that is me being an old grump then I hear it outloud from people older than me. Also the Haha people think coronavirus is from corona beer? What dumbasses!! anyway I hope this virus kills ___ lol!, idk a best friend just brought home a preemie baby and have been so worried about him that adding coronavirus fears on it has been depressing and people actively wishing for lol death! is just, not my thing.

YeahTubaMike posted:Mental illness & depression are serious business, and people will cope in all sorts of different ways, but "I think about killing myself every day, lol" in mismatched fonts with a distorted 3D image in the background basically feel like a combination of the '00s wacky omG!!1 humor & "~ * [emo song lyric] *~" AIM statuses. It annoys the poo poo out of me & is I think this sort of humor is reflective of, and has perhaps even contributed to a growing culture of normalizing discussion of mental health ( especially among the younger generation) and I, for one, feel more comfortable opening up about my own struggles with depression because of it. That being said I totally get why it's off-putting.

I had a real rough mental health time a few years back and I accepted it'll be something that's always a fight for me. That stuff helped at first, but I think there comes a point where you have to leave "ha ha! I want to kill myself" behind and shoot for a healthier point of identification.

One of my friends went with me to a minor league baseball game (in hindsight, I'm not sure why -- I said I had an extra ticket, and she volunteered to join), and she spent the whole time like "Huh? What? What's going on? Time to cheer now? YAAAAAYYYY! SPORTBAAAAALLLL!" as if she had no idea what was happening. Cheering for fouls, cheering for strikeouts (both teams), cheering for groundouts, cheering when no one else was cheering, just...being a total dick. I ended up leaving during the fifth inning because she ruined it, and I didn't talk to her for like a year after that.

I did not go out to hear blood gurgles or screams, let alone a perfectly alive being just shrivel up right there on stage ffs. damnit. the last time this happened the guy totally screwed it up. 10 minutes later, he's got this sorta dead ghoul thing just following him around through the rest of the show. just makes you want to puke.

ghost emoji posted:something particularly teeth-grating about snarky grad student facebook memes Related to that is "Engineer" "Humour" which isn't so much about humour as showing "yes, I work in a STEM field." You can build a turbine, but you can't construct a joke, my dudes. That Tumblr circle jerk kind of meme fucks me off too. It's just so cosy and invariably contains an attack on a straw man. Ones on social justice issues are so bad that my brain briefly flirts with being a chud out of sheer revulsion for that kind of lovely joke until it reboots after a second or two.
