The humor used in 'Friends'. Shit, is there no one else in this lonesome world who doesn't get what is so funny about Joe's, Phoebe's, Monica's etc... jokes?


i never found that show one bit funny. mayyybe i'd catch a bit of lisa kudrow doing something silly, but i think she has funny delivery in whatever she does, and it's always the same character.

Me neither. It was so popular and I really don't know why.

Now, Seinfeld is a funny show!! Every single episode makes me laugh out loud even when I've seen the episode numerous times.

Giant ape sex jokes are the lowest form of humor.
Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it.

i don't mind lowbrow humor if it's supported by really witty, funny, smart humor at the same time. for example, i think "strangers with candy" was a brilliant series in how it dealt with taboo issues and found the humor in fragile topic matter...plus, the wordplay on that show was nothing short of genius at times...but the physical comedy and potty humor was every bit as funny, mainly because the show didn't RELY on it.

Agreed. 'Friends' humor is stale as potato chips left in an open bag to long.

i'm totally willing to concede that the problem lies within my mental limitations - i just don't understand what went on in that television show that made so many people laugh! confuse

Agreed. I can't fathom the humor of the show myself. I convinced that they used laugh tracks for enhancement.

i don't like comedy where other cultures or subcultures get targeted as 'weird' or undesirable. i'm basically describing that 'mind of mencia' dude's whole stand-up routine. i think it's lazy and irresponsible, and barely "comedy".

Okay, for some reason, the general consenus of people who thought that "Shaun of The Dead" and "Hot Fuzz" were funny (Seemingly, only because they were "British") on here, confuse me. Okay, maybe "Shaun of The Dead" (As I haven't seen it), but I rented "Hot Fuzz" and I stood there with a blank look on my face, for most of the time. Explain that. Maybe, I was missing something, in the middle of being bored . Anyway, I think that "Richard Pryor" is maybe the funniest human being I have ever seen do stand-up. But, someone like "Katt Williams" is meh. "Jamie Foxx" should also do another stand-up because he's funny, as well. "Robin Williams": I like him because I just might be a nut....much like him. We're just eccentric. Yeah, that's the word.

I said "Hot Fuzz". Maybe it would be funnier if it was called "Hot Jizz", instead. Yeah, I reckon that's better. I've gotta watch "Shaun of The Dead", though.

Yeah, there's definitely a fine line. I'm by no means a PC-psycho, trust! But referring to every middle-eastern as Akhmed and using the same tired 20-Mexicans-in-an-Astrovan quips are incredibly tired. There's nothing clever about it.

Call me insane, but when I listen to my satellite comedy channels, George Lopez's standup gives me a giggle at times with his "Mira. Mira.", yet Carlos Mencia's makes me want to ram my car into children. He's trying to hard to be Joe Rogan--crass for the sake of shock value. Unintelligent.

Well, I was lost. Maybe I've gotta be part of the culture or have studied it, but some (Like, two or three jokes, somewhere in there) were mildly humorous.

yeah, I wouldn't go so far as to call it hilarious, but it was amusing. I expected to like it more, though.
