What are some things that a lot of people might find funny, but for one reason or another you don't?

For me, I don't know about anyone else but I don't find the things on G4 funny, particularly Attack of the Show and X-Play. I like to watch for info on games, comics, etc. but I'm just not laughing when they're trying to be funny.

Or maybe I'm just not getting it.
 
No, you're right; most of the things on 'Attack of the Show' are amusing at best. Most of the time, those planned schticks are blatantly vying for laughs.:down

Um, most of the movies Will Ferell does aren't funny to me. He says random things and people are in stitches over it.:confused: His best role was probably the cameo in 'WC' or most of Old School.

Chris Rock's 'common sense' comedy sucks.

Geico commercials annoy me (most superbowl commercials)

People seem to think it's funny to watch terrible films; they keep supporting them.:(
 
About everything you said is pretty much what I would say ^
 
Let's see. I just don't get Mr. Bean, on old BBC. Funny to others, not to me. And is Pauly Shore funny? If so, I'm not getting it. I'm not saying he isn't likable, and I thought In the Army Now was actually pretty good. I just don't find him particularly humorous.

Pauly Shore sucks. Mr. Bean is God.
 
Friends, Everyone Loves Ramon, Simpsons (2001 - now), Sinbad, Jerry Sienfield (not the show, love it, but his stand up), carrot top
 
Mr. Bean, those romantic movies like Failure To Launch, Boat Trip, Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond, The Simpsons.... it lost it's touch.

1. "Sex and the City" - a somewhat well-written show, but the main characters were incredibly annoying people I could never feel sorry for when bad things happened to them.

2. "Penny Arcade" - I've made no secret of my distaste for this webcomic. I can understand why gamers might like some of the industry references, but the humor is strictly wannabe Kevin Smith-type stuff that usually relies on the word "f**k" as a substitute for an actual punchline. And speaking of Kevin Smith...

3. Any Kevin Smith movies after "Chasing Amy" - Maybe it's because all the geek-chic ironic humor of the mid 1990s has been done to death by this point, or maybe it's because I'm not 20 years old anymore, but Kevin Smith just bores me. I liked the unpredictible low-budget weirdness of "Clerks" and the unexpected comic book shout-outs in "Mallrats", but about halfway through "Chasing Amy", I realized I wasn't having as much fun anymore because Smith was taking his "message" way too seriously for such a film. The pretentious college-freshman-philosophy-major soapboxing got worse with "Dogma", and then I just stopped caring all together.

4. Will Ferell's unscripted improv humor. I loved "Elf", I hated "Anchorman" - that pretty much sums it up.

5. About 50% of "Robot Chicken" could be a lot funnier that it is. The ideas are usually good, but somewhere along the line, Seth Green just decides to fall back on no-brainer jokes like bestiality or a character yelling "*****ebag!" It's too bad, because other skits on the show are hilarious.

6. "Family Guy" -- Summed up best on "South Park" -- just one random, interchangable joke after another.

I must have read hundreds of Cathy comics. I need to read every comic once I get going.

Anyways, was she ever funny? Seriously, oh I'm too fat to fit into a bathing suit, I find comfort in eating, I rely too heavily on my parents, spend more time with a dog. Geez, sister, why don't you move away, give away your dog, go on a diet and buy a vibrator or better yet find a man so I won't have to listen to your constant redudant tirade. :mad:

I actually enjoy watching MP for the surrealism. It just doesn't make me laugh at all.
