Redefining Funny

Apart from academic woes (5,000w by Wednesday with 200 down? Nice try.) and general lethargy (some alcohol related, other chocolate fudge covered pancakes related) I've had to redefine funny in the face of the incisively astute and utterly hilarious Achewood. I've never seen consistent web-based genius at this mind-bogglingly hysterical magnitude. Roast Beef has to be the greatest character ever created, ever.

Don't sell yourself short. I'm sure you're funny, too.

I believe in you.

Next time you say:

"This is the truth. This guy is funny. Click [here]!"

And then when they click the [here] link, they get redirected to http://www.crushtor.net!

SEE! That's both funny, witty, charming and SNEAKY (and also TRUE)! Those who don't laugh were either born with a degree of autism or have no sense of humour.

FLAWLESS.

I disagree, and find the whole thing is sometimes Fred Basset style not spectacular. The squirrel's good fun, but I don't think it redefines funny unless you're prepared to say that this year's funny is postmodernly way less funny than last year.

But I'm glad to see you're moving into the world of actual breakfast foods, chocolate coated or not. Head for the light, Tomo!

Haha, thanks Stephen, I'll be sure to try that sometime...now :P

As for you Erin...I don't think we can be friends any more.

Pity... sounds like you're missing out on a good friend...



(Oh, and I so totally didn't click your link. I never follow up on the things you say, and rarely do I read your words to completion... so I don't know what you're talking about. I still vote that you be funny over everything else, though)

Click here for true humour! It gets me every time (so much so that I can't pry myself away from coming back for more).

Ok now I feel bad. You deserve a chance.

I clicked. I saw.

I was not impressed.

It's like you've wronged me somehow. What did I do to deserve that?

I had your back and everything. =(

You should not be allowed near children. =(

Stephen...what are you on about? Achewood is a mint comic, you should get into it :D

I'm on about your betrayal. Yes, that's right.

Go sit by Judas; you're not welcome on my table anymore. =(

Unknown said...

And what betrayal would you be referring to exactly? :S

You were all like, "yo dogs, this be funny, yo. Word."

And I was all like, "I didn't click your link." And then I was like, "yo, I feel bad because I never gave your link a chance." And then I went to the link, and was disappointed. I was let down: your expectations of humour were not met. I was betrayed. Judas. =(

God...everyone has to be hatin' on Achewood, don't they?

Does this mean you can't be friends with Stephen anymore either?

Because if Achewood is the new standard, my (former?) friend, I worry that you might end up feeling the chill draft of loneliness.

I have a friend who is sort of a socialist or something. He told me yesterday that he disowned me because I wasn't into Achewood.

I read about a year's worth of comics. I find it appealing, but not side splittingly funny.

I do it for my friends (he has taken me back). NOT FOR YOU, JUDAS!!!!11 ='( (at least, not anymore)
