Regulation Size posted:https://www.somethingawful.com/news/thernovich-valentines-day/ So bad I had to come and post about it. Who is the audience for a spiteful humor article lampooning an already pathetic group? Real MRA shenanigans are already humorous in their inadequacy and don't require this much exaggeration to be funny. While you were sticking it to those shutins, you forgot to make jokes president baby

get that OUT of my face posted:People who think that "punching up" in comedy is more important than "being funny." Never mind that if you're gonna call those people "basement dwellers" or "dry dicks" or something of the sort, you're not even doing that. I'm not sure if that article uses those kinds of insults, because I didn't read it and have no interest in doing so. He's not even punching up, he's leaning too hard on miserable setups whose main source of comedy is their lousiness. In humor theory terms he's buying whole hog into the superiority theory, that we laugh because we feel superior. Reading the Jedediah article, same direction as the Valentine's article but the author instead makes him inept to the point of empathy where asterios just wants to make his subject an awful human being. This is something I notice in many of his articles, he's writing articles to berate groups he doesn't like but he forgets to tell jokes. Shark balloon article falls into the same trap
