South Park made me gay (ok, not really)

Mar 13, 2010 11:31

Dudes make it so easy to put them in the friend zone when they tie a South Park episode into every conversation. Are you fucking kidding me? That is just... feckless. My friend's a cool, nerdy guy with some things going for him, but maturity is not one of them. What the hell is it about South Park and this generation of man-boys ( Read more... )

I think Southpark is funny, in bits a peices. But just like the toliet is better left in the bathroom, toliet humor is too.

People who quote movies/cartoons/youtube videos etc. in replacement of a sense of humor, I find sad. Pitible. Annoying. Ok, I'm gonna do it, I think they are Stupid. In fact I might start to rant. People who quote movies as if remembering a scene from a movie together is in SOME WAY HILARIOUS drive me crazy! I think they lack imagination, they lack the velvety goodness of synapse to make their own FUNNY! They are fools in a tv slaved world! Get away from me movie quoters! Go to hell! You ARE NOT FUNNY BY PROXY! There is no SUCH THING!
*deep breath* Dammit. I didn't want to get riled up today.

I completely concur: there is NO such thing as being funny by proxy. Gah, that's a pitiful form of humor...

South Park is, however, the worst kind of humor--it makes fun of others. And that tired excuse that they make fun of "everybody" doesn't work for me. They certainly do not make fun of tall, white, able, young, straight, cis males. Shit's just not humane.

you know, I just read something in some book. I can't remember which (I am currently in 3) about self-aware people have totally different senses of humor. That they don't think making fun of people or people getting hurt is funny. Reading that made me feel so much better b/c I thought I was getting too serious but really I'm just getting more aware.

Thats the part of southpark I don't like, the part I like is like a dancing singing turd, thats funny, I tend to love absurdist humor.

That IS a relief, because we are certainly not humorless! I think different people have different senses of humor, to be sure. I never liked The Three Stooges, but boy have they survived the test of time with some folks. I think the self-awareness hypothesis holds water, but empathy is an important factor too. And, as I've seen with some, these two attributes can be mutually exclusive.

Ok, Mz. Highbrow! I think that's potty humor (which I love), but call it what you want... I also have a fondness for Hanky the Christmas Poo. In fact, one of my pals from college and I still greet each other with "hiiiidey-ho!" Hee.

I never said I was highbrow! I live in Nashville! We eat rhinestones for lunch.

Speaking of which, I think it should still be on the table for a potential move. Ahem. I also know poi/belly dancers here so your entrance into the dancing sphere would be so smooth. However, you gotta do what you gotta do.

That is potty humor, but its the absurd bent that I love. of course, I think farting is funny sometimes. So I guess I like the potty-laff. Farting and Eating should NEVER happen together tho. Not Funny.

Pittsburgh, Nashville, and maybe something Pacific NW are my top US choices--don't you worry. I just can't abide by Souther politics right now, though I'm one lib that would make a whole lotta noise, so maybe still...

I got the giggles for a good 15 minutes in yoga once when someone farted. It's always funny... unless it's when eating or in bed, then yucky.
