Quote:You like 8 bit theater though... that's the SAME comedy, "stupid" humor. That joke wasn't even that stupid! It wasn't an anatomy joke, it was actually pretty clever. I mean you call all that stupid but it really isn't. I mean yeesh, Monkey Island is pretty much nothing but cheap gags.
I don't read it as often as I used to (but when I do I usually read all the ones I've missed), but yeah, 8-bit Theater is good. It's usually funny and tells a continuing story... a very funny one, most of the time. :D
It's often pretty cruel, but oh well... oh, and I don't know if I'd call that "stupid humor". I mean that to me means "to find it funny your intelligence has to be somewhat insulted"... 8-bit doesn't really fit that, for the most part. ... true, it does do "wow aren't the characters stupid" jokes constantly, but they're actually almost always funny ones, and are frequently clever, whether or not the characters are stupid or not (when they believe things that are so, so obviously false, etc..)
... you know, this is called "over-analyzing humor", and that always makes it sound not funny... :(
Hmm... can I just say "I like webcomics to tell a continuing story" and call that one of PA's problems, in my opinion? :) (but yes, a similar joke in 8-bit theater would probably be funnier)
Now that, that is funny, and got me to laugh. :)
