Internet Channel to launch on Friday

[A Black Falcon]

What's wrong with stupid humor? Shows like Family Guy, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Sea Lab 2021, Harvey Birdman, and Space Ghost are hilarious.

Family Guy is a painfully, painfully horrible show way too often... Sealab was funny though, and Harvey Birdman and Aqua Teen (sometimes in each case... no show is always funny, but they were good enough anyway)...

Not really ABF. It's more of a self deception. He's CONVINCING himself it's a game. He is refusing to even humor the idea that he may have been deceived. He... MUST... find out how to play it. It IS a game, it MUST be, but how do you play it? The missing panel is him locked in a room, "bedazzled" with formulas and strange broken logic, in a vain attempt to stitch together a method for playing it. The 5th is him somehow actually succeeding and driving the OTHER character mad with wonder as he becomes a WEATHER GOD, affecting reality. It's not "stupid humor" so much as "insanity humor", and I love that kind.

That description makes it sound even stupider... :)

Then let me ask you this: what sort of humor DO you like, ABF? You hate everything. Smart humor like The Office? Subtle humor like Arrested Development? Direct humor like stand-up shows? Satire like The Onion? What makes you laugh? DO you laugh??

Sure some things are funny... and yes, sometimes "stupid humor" can be funny -- but then I think of how incredibly stupid whatever is happening is, and the "stupid is funny" thing goes away.

Humor... eh, I don't know... sitcoms fit in that 'painfully bad, even if you laugh sometimes it's so dumb that I can't say I like them' category... never seen The Office or a whole episode of Arrested Development. Don't read The Onion often, but it has sometimes been funny.

Monkey Island? That's a good choice. :) Game of course. I do like drama more though, I think, but humor certainly has its place too...

*thinks about webcomics I read regularly* Continuing stories are good. One-shot stuff is less interesting; the ones I read the most frequently are all continuing stories (often drama, but almost always with humor components as well). Stuff like that often requires context to understand though so they don't work as well for a "read this comic, isn't it funny?" thing...
