Geek, er, Flyingcurser is feeling a bit flat this morning, so I though we could try to cheer him up with a list of unfunny things.
Clowns. 'nuff said.
Keg beer (Laughable but definitely not funny).
American sitcoms.
Bodhran jokes
“Fear Factor”
(See “Funny” thread)
Prince Harry’s fancy Dress costume.
Amen. Doesn’t that kid have a handler??
Susan
That’s quite a touchy subject.
OOOOOOO… Wombat! Are you sure ‘touchy’ is the right adjective? 
I’d handle him.
America’s Funniest Home Videos
and all of its spinoffs
I’ll second that. -I wonder if people even sometimes set up their family members to get hurt, running head first into poles etc., and then send in the video. --Also, not to get political, but the gang on Fox news were getting quite a chuckle over replaying Castro falling down and breaking his knee.
The first year America’s Funniest Videos was on the air they received a lot of complaints from people concerned about videos that showed people (especially children) getting hurt. The show’s rebuttal was that they always showed the child being comforted. I’ve noticed in watching a few minutes of this show over the past few months that they no longer even make an effort to do this. I’m often disturbed by the accidents shown - some of them obviously extremely painful - and the laughter of the audience. I don’t mean to sound a serious note in this thread, but it worries me that children watching these shows are learning to laugh at people being hurt instead of learning to be concerned and helpful.
Susan
I’ll bet his Grandfather thought it was a hoot.
Not to mention Sir Winston… V
Except that he’s dead.
He even managed to get the comic timing spectacularly wrong, a fortnight before the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
Still, I can’t help feeling sorry for him, the scumbags that helped to push his mother over the edge now regard him as fair game. I wonder how many tabloid editors, journalists and papparazzi have never told a joke that was in poor taste.
He appears to be throwing petrol on the fire lighted by the jerk-a-razzi.
I agree, Susan. And I think we lose some of our joy in pure, simple silliness when things that aren’t funny are made to appear so. I knew the difference when it was Daffy Duck getting hurt in the cartoons.
I don’t watch TV. But that doesn’t help all those millions of people who do. As an activist, I’m more of a wannabe, unfortunately.
