deathcowsays...

it must be funny! thats why there is a "funny" tag so you will know its funny! I get all my cues from titles and tags, I especially like "Hilarious" because they are even more funny than "funny", I would have really laughed out loud if "Hilarious" would have been used!

Kruposays...

Man, Peter Griffin needed this support. No wait, this is worse.

btw, lucky, don't take what deathcow says personally - it's just a pet peeve and is meant to be amusing in general (and to express said pet peeve), nothing against you.

Well, it's been proven a few times that people do need cues to know when something is funny. I recall that back in the 70s they wanted to try removing the laugh track from M*A*S*H. It was the same writers, same gags, just no laugh track. Evidenlty is was very poorly received and people changed the channel.

Laughing is a social panting behaviour carried over from our early primate days.

Kruposays...

Whoa, flashback to semiotics class, or straight to Marshall McLuhan - the medium is the message.

If you set up a context where you expect something to be funny, you'll treat it in a different manner than an opposing context (sad/dramatic).

Same concept: consider a conversation with a noted comedian vs. an ordinary joe. The ordinary joe and the comedian may say the exact same thing, but the comedian can leave you rolling on the floor laughing your ass off.

Yeah, but some would say more than the context - the comedian is the master of timing, intonation, facial expressions etc. That's what the ordnary joe lacks.

Still it's true if you are watching a comedy in a crowded theater, there is a lot more individual laughter than in a half-empty theater. Laughter really is contagious.

Kruposays...

*femme.

Earlier tonight I saw someone, who might be described as a Persian Princess, pull over to the left of me.

IN THE OPPOSING LANE OF TRAFFIC.

I point out it's a two-line road (thank goodness it was only a red light... in downtown).

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't know."

Yeah, that's what that yellow line is about.
