LabattBlue Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I want to be funny yet sometimes after I type a post and hit enter, it turns out not only wasn't it funny, it was quite stupid. It's a funny thing trying to be funny. Maybe the problem is what is funny in person, isn't funny on a message board. Maybe we should have a poll on who is good at being funny and only those posters will be allowed to humor the rest of us. Everybody else has to be dead serious when they post...no funniness, no sarcasm, no being a smarty pants, nothing! Â Â I'm not even sure if I'm trying to be funny with this post.

dave mcbride Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Once upon a time, a decade or two ago, ESPN was just starting. They hired a few guys named Chris Berman and Dan Patrick and Keith Olberman, who once upon a time were fairly humorous in a smartalecky kind of way. It was a little new (for sports), a little goofy, and it worked great. ESPN and SportsCenter became a phenomenon. Â Unfortunately, Berman and Patrick and Olberman ruined sports forever by being sporadically mildly amusing. Â Now, everyone on SportsCenter tries to be funny, like them, but they are not like them, and are not funny, and sound like complete morons. Â And the same thing has happened to our lovable TSW. Â There were and are a couple witty, mildly amusing old timers (and, admittedly, a couple of new timers) that once upon a time made TSW a great place for wisecracks and Pythonesque abuse, and they, unfortuntely, because they were funny, made this place nearly unbearable. Now, every tard on the coaster tries to be funny. Â Except you tards forgot one thing. You're not funny. You're Stuart Scott. Â So remember. If you're trying to be funny, make sure you're funny. Â (To those here who are actually funny, carry on.) 573106[/snapback] but ... stuart scott is insufferable!!! talk about annoying smart alecks.

I wasn't at all trying to say if you make me laugh, you're funny. The final arbiter is really what can only be called, "The Tardthink".

LabattBlue Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I have an idea...Whenever you want to post something you think is funny, set it up as a poll with a simple question...Is this funny...yes or no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 I disagree, that wasn't funny. 573325[/snapback] Actually, it was. See, just on the surface, isolated, that line would not have been funny at all. But he was alluding to a post I had months and months ago, I believe in a thread where everyone explained what they did for a living. And I had explained how I worked in the film business in LaLaland, and I told everyone before they even started that their idea for a movie was not funny, but were all, indeed, terrible. So the fact the Carp Heaving Donkey pulled that reference out of nowhere, and very timely, to add a little relevant sarcasm to this thread, made it funny. Perhaps only a very small percentage got it, but it was funny nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
