RiverRaider Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 That joke I made about your Mom...... A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices. – William James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Mac Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Complex humor is for sissies. The village, which had stood for maybe 1,000 years, didn't know we were coming that day. If they had, they would have run. boB was at the eye of our rage. And through him, our Captain Ahab. He would set things right again. That day, we loved him.

nalu22 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 In the opinion of this simple mind, someone like Robin Williams and or Dennis Miller and they're crazy cross references. You have to know some politics, movies, current events, local events, etc. I saw RW at PPAC, he was throwing in (ad lib) RI political and local knowledge jokes.

nalu22 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 My bad, I thought the OP was asking about complex humor not opinions on who you find funny. Neither one of whom has ever been funny.

inthered Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Or, not necessarily.

Example given: A cooler full or organs accompanied with a "Free Samples" sign--will get the reaction that one would expect. At my age, just about everything pisses me off!

nalu22 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 To me, your example isn't an example of "complex humor." Or, not necessarily.

nalu22 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 How about some examples; rather than how you feel about a certain comedian(s). I realize it's a lot easier to give your opinion, "I don't like you're taste in comedians." - "Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem."
