    There is a widespread belief that laughter is a sign of happiness .Total Myth . There never was a happy comedian in history and in their lives a lot of misery .Tragic Figures all of them .......and they did a lot of laughing......no?.....well they caused a lot of laughter !
    People in groups do a lot of it and i wonder where is the old pleasure in serious discourse gone ?????? People don't want to look vulnerable so they look amused .
    It's interesting that comedy differs everywhere and in every decade .An Irish politician told a chinese joke years ago in the Great Hall of the People .They did'nt get it at all .Now i find that amusing .

    Memes

    I could list more, but they would take away from how unfunny i think these are, they are ruining the YLYL thread for me

    They're not even 'memes' anymore, just 'funny' faces and captioned images. Where people used to make funny comics with bad MS-paint art now the faces themselves are the joke.


    Last few seasons of South Park. Good God. I tried to give them a chance but I can't stick another 'Coon episode or anything with Butters. They've run out of ideas for that guy. And I used to love it.

    How I met Your Mother

    Why is the voice over protagonist warping his children's minds by telling them excruciatingly repetitive details of his rather tragic love life and bland friends for the last ten years ??? Chief Premise-Running-Thin is not impressed!

    The new season has been excellent so far imo.

    Things I don't find funny:

    The Mighty Boosh.
    Bill Hicks.
    Stewart Lee.
    Two and a Half Men.
    Ricky Gervais.
    Any Australian comedy or tv series.

    There's one on QI that's fantastic - Sandi Toksvig, but good female comedians are tough to count.

    Couldnt agree more. There is some funny ones , but now there isnt really any real memes. Just some retarded picture of someones face with a coloured background and a gay ass caption that only facebook twats find funny. They arent even memes, people dont know what memes are anymore.

    Tommy Tiernan, Adam Sandler, two and a half men, the big bang, actually most US sitcoms are really rubbish. Cant stand that Chelsea Lately! Or Ellen De Generes the stupid dance she does on every show and the way the crowd cheers for her like she is some kind of God is really scary, so many comedians and comedies these days are seriously insulting our intelligence!

    Those ads for No Nonsense Insurance (nails on a pane of glass stuff)/FBD/telly licence, not funny.

    (dis)honourable mentions

    Most any cobbled-together RTE sit com, some train wrecks down the years...Leave It To Mrs O'Brien, Extra Extra, Ryantown.

    South Park - Each episode takes exactly 6 days from conception to air. The lack of effort is funny. It's basically one of the cops from Super Bad, the lads themselves and 1 or 2 other people sitting in a room, usually trying to be provocative. The quality is no where near as good as it used to be.

    The Simpsons - I know a guy who prefers the new seasons to the older ones. Needless to say I despise him. Watching The Simpsons at this stage fills me with anger and despair.

    Two & a Half Men.

    Most American sitcoms.

    Most American 'comedy' films directed towards a teen audience.

    Mr. Thake - Beachcombers other work is better imo.

    Just thought of a few more, Ab Fab, upstairs downstairs, blackadder oh and red dwarf! wtf is that? another I hate from years ago, third rock from the sun, I cannot stand that actor whatever his name is....I think the problem is that when somebody tries too hard to be funny, making everything so obvious and in your face, whilst insulting your intelligence, it just becomes irritating and tiresome. The jokes and smutty humour are regurgitated endlessly and I am sick of it, would love a fresh new comedy to come out, something totally original

    Agree with a lot here...and disagree with a lot too.

    Much I would describe as simply overrated rather than totally unfunny.

    Des Bishop, Tommy Tiernan and afew would fall under that for me.

    A big +1 on Only Fools and Horses though. Can't understand the popularity of that.

    Fans of Brendan O'Carroll, Adam Sandler, Robin Williams & The Big Bang Theory should take a long hard look at themselves.
