[ChuckF]

yeah lolcats stopped being funny after about a month.

[godfry n. glad]

I hate that smug green fucker. HATE. Hear that, Maturin? THAT IS A BAD SMILEY, AND IT TURNS EVERYTHING AROUND IT BAD.

Whoever added that to the smileys here should get fired.

This probably overlaps with previous items, but I think it deserves special mention.

14. FTW, and anything immediately preceding it.

Also, everything else you guys ever say. It's just like one big dumb Olive Garden commercial up in here, with everybody all lolling for no reason all the time.

Why does she hates the Olive Garden is what I'm wondering?

[SharonDee]

All right. Which of you fuckers done went and stepped on liv's tail?

It's not fair that the rest of us must suffer. Cuz you know, we all must line up and hate everything that liv hates. That's life on planet :ff:.

[lisarea]

Murder is not the be-all and end-all of the bloodthirsty dog's existence, you know. She has political acumen as well. She spent part of this morning hobnobbing with a city council candidate and the candidate's three-legged dog.

After that, of course, she raped and ate a HUMAN BABBY

I keep wondering how many Belgians would be funny :boythink:

[curses]

Police brutality.

Abusing postal workers.

[Deadlokd]

Professor Calculus was funny. He was Belgian wasn't he? And the Thompson twins. They may have been British, but they were invented by a Belgian.

[BigBlue2]

15. Belgians It's not that they are not funny, it's just that there is no point to them. Why doesn't Holland annex the northern part, France the southern part and Luxembourg the rest? Put everyone out of their misery fer chrissakes.

[BigBlue2]

Why can't the Belgians be on their own?Because, like I said, there's no point to Belgium. They're a lot like Delaware in that respect.

[Stormlight]

Yeah, I'd probably prefer the Saarland. :chuckle:

Liv's :glare: isn't funny. It makes you feel two centimeters tall when she aims it at you.

You're right moncap, you need crumb's full blown :glare:

You wanna know what's not funny? The cafepress :glare: sticker I bought and put on the car faded to white so it looks like a goth :glare: now. Just sorta mopey and pale, y'know?

Ooh, admin wars. I'm opening the book people. Lay your bets.

That isn't even a contest. We all know that when the fight is over we'll be finding parts of VM across all of Earth's continents.

[Ymir's blood]

I've gotta go with vm on this one. liv's ability to tell people to delete their cookies is impressive, but isn't going to be of much use against vm running an update and resetting all the smilies to the defaults.

VM knows better than to go anywhere near Liv's hoard. He'd lose the hand that even thought about clicking the delete button.

No, because she could never believe that he would unmake the smilies rather than attempting to use their vast powers against her. While livius is distracted by a star nosed mole eating cilantro dipped in mayonnaise on the portal page, vm and his faithful manservant will slip in and throw the smilies back into the fires in which they were forged, preventing livius from ever again taking on physical form.

[MonCapitan2002]

I would take it that you are the manservant? You need to retake Villainy 101. You aren't supposed to reveal the dastardly plot until after the hero is captured and placed in the deathtrap. Kids these days! :facepalm:

[Pan Narrans]

So what would a cross between :sauron: and :glare: look like?

I'm the narrator, so it's allowed.

It's so not funny around here lately. It's like work or something.
I do like the new glaring eye though, that made me giggle.

[BracesForImpact]

I don't get why Reno 911 is still on the air. I saw funny once, and that ain't it.

[godfry n. glad]

With Reno 911, you have to decide whether to watch it, or the informercials on the other six stations. Or, just turn the television off and read, for crepes sake.

Ding...Dude...Reno 911 is not funny. It's pathetic.

[Dingfod]

Hey, you're addressing a guy who liked Napoleon Dynamite.

[godfry n. glad]

Even a Phil S. Dean type like me can appreciate the nuances of Napolean Dynamite.

Reno 911 is in a completely different league, category, or file...on a completely different Venn diagram, altogether...from Napolean Dynamite.

[Dingfod]

I don't think I'm much like JEROME at all.

[godfry n. glad]

I don't think I'm much like JEROME at all.

That was not addressed to you...and...I agree, you are not like JEROME at all. I have no idea what JEROME's opinion on either Reno 911 or Napoleon Dynamite might be. It was a misplaced comment, which is why I did away with it.

And...I'm not trying to be funny.

JEROME, by the way, is amongst those 'things which are just not that funny.'

He trys....and sometimes, he's rather trying.

He's NOT a troll....he's something different. He's a missionary.

Not funny.

[MonCapitan2002]

As annoying as he can be at times, I like Jerome for the most part.

[Dingfod]

Even a Phil S. Dean type like me can appreciate the nuances of Napolean Dynamite.

Reno 911 is in a completely different league, category, or file...on a completely different Venn diagram, altogether...from Napolean Dynamite.It's way more gay, for one thing.

[chunksmediocrites]

Reno 911 is hilarious. But then I also find Rob Schneider to be funny. JEROME is (d)roll (t)roll. Will Ferrell is very funny in reasonable dosages, or when put in well-written movies. Kind of like most every SNL alum. It is more that the man-child Will Ferrell/ Adam Sandler/ Jack Black trope has been run into the ground, buried, exhumed, trotted about, and hitched to Hollywood's money-formula again and the funny died early on. Dane Cook hatred is too popular for me to get behind, but I would say that he's not that funny.

But then maybe the not funny is me.

[The Lone Ranger]

Has anyone mentioned lolcat speak yet?

I'm not talking about "lolcats" per se, which are often quite amusing. I'm talking about the deliberately-mangled spelling and syntax, which are not, in my opinion. As a rule, I'd find the average lolcat about ten times more amusing if the caption were in something roughly approximating standard English. Sometimes, I literally can't understand the dang things.

Cheers,

Michael

Fucking that. Ug. I was trying to read a thread about lolcode (a real and for true Turing-complete programming language based on lolspeak) and the entire comment thread was in that insipid syntax. I wanted to blow my brains out.

That's true, that is Not Funny because I failed to provide direct documentary evidence of the literal existence of Leesifer's penis, and it is Not Funny unless it is Literally True. Autism is fascinating.

Don't worry, Leesifer, I am credulous enough to believe in the literal existence of your penis and, therefore, laugh at it.

Larry the Cable Guy is unfunny, an insult to the rural poor, a man putting on a minstrel act (he's from Nebraska, where they "don't have" accents, much less Southern ones), a racist, retrograde piece of shit. David Cross pretty much took him to task here (http://www.bobanddavid.com/2007/10/an_open_letter_to_larry_the_ca.html).
