QGJ and lifeforms

There was nothing wrong with the timing at all. It was just a quick mocking comment from Obi-Wan. Gee... it;s not like his 'The negotations WERE short' line, which WAS meant to get a laugh and was TERRIBLY timed.

But everyone know that was suposed to be a joke, but what I see, there aren't a lot of guys around here that think the other line was a joke

SIgh.. it wasn't a joke, as such, but Obi-Wan was not being serious! He was making a wry comment; it's almost exactly the sort of thing I would have said in that situation.

If he makes a 'joke' he laughs at it, see the 'The negotiations were short' he almost burst into a laugh.
But with the other line, he doesn't laugh with it...

You don't laught with mocking humour like that. Did you watch any John Cleese yet? Fawlty Towers is chock full of that sort of deadpan joke.

But at SW there isn't a laughtape to let you know when something is a joke.
Seeing John Cleese isn't easy here; what I remember was from 10 years ago, so don't know much about them

Fair enough.

The laugh soundtrack is actually there to make you laugh more, not just to telegraph when a joke has been made (otherwise all film comedies would fail), and like I say that line wasn't meant to get an audience laugh anyway. It's just the sort of sarky comment that Obi-Wan would have said in that situation. As would myself and Edna...

I find OB1 an arrogant young lad, who became knight because the JC felt responsible for him.

As for you and Edna 🙄 tssss, there goes your private life!

(my sister is here, and she wanted the rolleyes, don't read that last phrase please!)

Well, you could have told me not to read it BEFORE I read it...

Actually, Edna and myself are like that to each other all the time on these boards, but of course you can't see our faces when we do it.

Well sorry, but at that point my sister was still here.
