Is there something or someone that everyone around you seems to find really funny but that absolutely crushes your soul?
I'm thinking a person, show, movie, cartoon strip, whatever. (No members of VB need be mentioned.
)
I'm thinking of times like, say when I saw the movie Rat Race and people were howling in the aisles with laughter whereas I was sitting in stunned silence pulling my leg hairs to try to stay awake and fight through the boredom.
That sort of thing.
Here's my list.
Least funny funny person: Martin Short.
He wasn't funny on SCTV. He wasn't funny on SNL. He totally got outclassed and outfunnied when he was on The Colbert Report. He's also creepy as all get out.
Least funny funny show: Trailer Park Boys.
Somebody write them a script with jokes and maybe I'll tune in. I've watched this show drunk and didn't even smirk.
Least funny funny movie: Austin Powers. (Pick one.)
It wasn't funny when Mike Myers said "Yeah baby!" And every time anyone has every tried to impersonate him since baby Jesus weeps salty tears of godlike sorrow.
So, um yeah. What's on your list?
ETA: Funny is a subjective thing. So if someone says they think something you think is funny is unfunny, I doubt you'd be able to convince them otherwise. So please just let them express their opinion and leave it at that. Thanks.
