ok i wanted to make this thread for the longest time, and i wanna discuss sumthing thats been pissing me off to no end. its this decades strengthening trend in the NEW FUNNY, neither movies , nor tv shows, nor even things like snl or late night is immune to this. its better to illustrate this by example. in MY humble oppinion thins/people/performances like THESE are funny.jim carey - snl. any interview he does, ace ventura, liar liar etc
that 70s shows - hilaroius, witty, has you rolling on the floor with genuine humour
CLASSIC adam sandler- little nicky, water boy, happy gilmore. snl etc
russel brand- amazing new age comedian, genuinly funny and succeeds while other more famous retards fail
george carlin- duh, standup
lock stock and two smoking barrels/snatch - geniunly funny stuff, brit humour
prates of the carribean - again genuine warmth in characters and humour
jay and silent bob- basically another true role on the floor performance duo of the 90s
friends- yess we all loved it and laughed at it, still do
dave chepell/eddie murphy - classic standup and classic performances in moves
screwed - chepell and the other dude were in it, funny as hell
simpsons - self explanatory
south park - YES
american pie/roadtrip etc
robin williams -standup plus genuinly humourous performance
now CONTRAST this great humour with the newer trends in humour that i find absolutely appaling{and im hoping some other people do too}
the new snl- im sepcifically referring to the annoyingly monotonic and subdued/nasal/deep voiced ladies of the show
juno- succeeded as a movie but failed to make any laugh
the office- the SINGLE biggest culprit of the current times , the british version with ricky gervais was BARELY bearable, this one though....
arrested development- this show started it for america
will ferrel- HONESTLY, taladega nights, blades of glory, and that other friggin ping pong movie
Jon Heder - responsible for making the retard element
current adam sandler - seriously wtf is going on, zohan...need i say more
jimmy falon- if i had to define the trend in a single sentence, its the difference between this man hosting late night compared to conan o brian, nough said
now.
retards/screaming like a ***** on exctasy at the wrong moments/ultra magnified racist themes{referring more to will/john hedar style of comedy}
awkward silences
embarrising facial expressions that make you wanna punch them
awkwardness but no realistic angst as a result
minimal dialogue
subdued awkward laughter
inability to have a single conversation without awkward interruptions and indecisiveness on who shud talk next
simple boredom
awkward costumes usually showing overweight/unworked physiques in stretchy/shiny/in awkward poses
greater reliance on unconventional and not realistic or artistically inspired venues of sexuality {old ladies MADE to look embarrising/sleezy/out of touch and yet shameless at the same time basically making a fool of themselves and having penises rubbed against them and loving them} {referring more to adam sandler and i suppose to will/had too}
bad camera angles, no background music, amplified sound effects of
things falling or feet walking
---------------------------------------
these things/elements are NOT funny. seriously when the **** did all this start to be defined as HUMOUR?!?!?!?!
boredom=/= reality
it isnt reality, it isnt hyperreality, it isnt a new form of humour, it isnt coming back to the roots, it isnt creative, it isnt artistic, it isnt intellectually appealing {watch gimore girls instead of the office if you want everyday witty gialogue and intellectual babble thats funny, seriously}
it has absolutely no warmth or charm. it is BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also, its a bit hard to summarise my thoughts on the subject so this is just a rought outline to make you guyes understand what im talking about.
agree? disagree, wanna add sumthing? wanna flame me?
discuss!
