This is literally worse than useless then. This is just mind numbingly stupid. Where's the punch line in this? What's supposed to be funny about this?
I don't get it. Maybe I'm an elitist? I guess?... A pleb elitist?
This is simply one of the stupidest fucking things I've seen as an attempt at humour. Why even waste people's time with this except to demand attention? I mean, a joke is when you set up a situation and then deliver a punch line that evokes feelings of laughter either because it's bitterly true or simply so ridiculous as to become humorous to even try to imagine in reality. The punch line can be a word pun ("I did Nazi that coming") or it can be a pause in dialogue to imply something ludicrous ("she wanted to buy that 16,000 dollar rock because?...") or hell, many other things. Comedy is not really rocket science, though some are better at it than others.
You can't force people to laugh by just presenting a situation
as the punchline, that... That's not funny. That's just fucking retarded. That's why "why did the chicken cross the road" is never funny, it's just presenting a situation and the punchline usually just presents a reasonable modus operandi or a situation that's too ridiculous to be imagined. Even Robot Chicken has more sophisticated humour than this, they at least
try to set up visual puns.
I mean,
@Nydanna wasn't even sure it was a joke.
@Kestrel doesn't understand it. The people surrounding it aren't doing anything more than posting multiple threads proliferating it. What is the punchline? What is funny about Gwazi making a petition to ban himself and then getting people to post it around with the disclaimer that he made it himself?
Where's the punchline? Where's the pun? Where's the double entendre? Why did this need to be multiple threads wasting everyone's time multiple times just to seemingly satiate someone's desire for attention?
At least if it was a charity stunt I'd shrug and go "ah well, you tried, but hey, at least it's for a good cause." What's even the reason for this? Humour still has to make
fucking sense to be funny.
And, I guess why I'm being openly agitated about this, is because this forced humour has been shoved down GC's throat for several days now, if not weeks. And it's still not funny. Give it a break. Watch some George Carlin, or, something.
