'Funny' Random People

Have you noticed how some people seem to find saying completely random stuff is funny?

A good example is 'If you are reading this then Ringo Starr may be stealing your grandmother'. Am I alone in thinking this kind of 'humour' is just stupid?

Ahh, you'd better watch out, whenever you say something like that a ninja dies. :p

Well, twelve boats lashed to a Stop sign have caused a glut in the Wasabi Pea market.


I AM one of those people. But I'm insane, so I have an excuse.

I'm going to have to put you down. Don't worry, it won't take long.

TDV: No. There is no excuse. That whole 'I'm insane' thing just makes me want to wring people's necks, and say:

"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! YOU ARE NOT FUNNY! THAT CRAP MERELY ANGERS THOSE OF US WHO HAVE HEARD TRULY FUNNY THINGS! Repeat after me: I am not funny. I am not funny. I am merely annoying. I must shoot myself NOW. YOU ARE NOT FUNNY! Now get the hell out of my sight before I start using my 'punishment' policy!"

Yes. Yes, you are. Now go outside and respray your rabbits before they drink your petrol.

not really,they're all entirely different.which is the point,they are totally random.so if your sense of humour doesnt allow you to appreciate a certain form of humour it doesnt mean it isnt funny.

Ahem:

You! Are! Not! Funny! Get! That! Into! Your! Head! Nobody who has to resort to that physically can be funny!

Please note I am in no way claiming to be funny simply by calling others not funny. I just know somebody will say I am if I don't put this little disclaimer in here somewhere.

In addition to the last disclaimer I now state that am not claiming to be funny.

Yeah, but every single time somebody comes up with something like this, it kind of makes you sound like a humourless prat. Don't get me wrong, and try not to take that the wrong way -- I'm not one of the randomists and I very rarely enjoy that kind of response in a thread, unless it's several people all going in one conversation, in which case I may join in. In fact, I think Gartref is the only user who has consistenly amused me with the absolute WTF-ness of his responses. However, when you get on spouting off that they're not funny and they're not original, it really just paints a poor image of you.

I'd say just continue to ignore them.

Yes. Nobody else thinks that screaming a couple of nonconnected words in a stupid tone of voice/post isn't funny.

unlike so many other languages,grammer means nothing in english to those who speak it,only to those who learn it.

Usage of 'hmm', 'were rather good' and a sentence fragment at the start. Tut-tut, that's not too good.

I actually nearly shot pepsi out of my nose when I read it. You may very well be alone on this, but then martian farts cause freedom fighters to flee.

Actually...it was the Ringo Starr line that got me. I actually pictured him at my granmother's house trying to take her away while my Gram hit him with a newspaper.

"Oh, but c'mun, luv, It'll be a magical mystery tour..."

"Out you dirty hippy. And you weren't even really a beatle anyway"

Saying random stuff can be funny, but more often than not it isn't. Like any form of comedy, really. For every good standup comedian, there's ten annoying co-workers recited what they've memorised from The Bumper Book Of Jokes.

Yeah, Ankhmet...while I sometimes agree with that, complaining about it here on the bulletin boards was definitely an invitation for everyone to repeat it all back to you. At least I'll be courteous enough not to leave anything too tremendously random for you. But I think this :headbang: represents your choice of methods all too well...
