I WAS BANNED FROM A NEW AGE FORUM BEFORE I COULD ENTER THIS POST:
I deliberately do not have cable TV. I deliberately use an electric antenna because I want to limit my viewing of commercial television. The times I watch parts of HBO stand-up comedy specials I am always turned off by all the cursing. For the most part, I just don't think peppering up a comedy line with cursing is funny, but OBVIOUSLY thousands upon thousands upon thousands upon even more thousands do think it's funny or it would not be on television, right?
I come in here sharing original comedy that I have attracted and manifested in order to cheer myself up and you either don't think it's funny or you pretend to think it's funny to mock my lame efforts. I can't help but wonder whether or not you would think I was funnier if I transcribed parts of an HBO stand-up comedy routine where the audience roared with laughter, but it was filled with curse words. Somehow I think you would laugh even less than at my pathetic attempts at humor; the ravings of a person desperate to laugh by striving to attract and manifest original humor. I don't know.
I am a huge fan of the program Everybody Loves Raymond. I feel there is a lot of timeless comedy in that program many families can relate to. It's clean and funny. I own the ENTIRE SERIES on DVD in a special package that looks like a house. What can I say? I think it often is very, very funny! That's me, but obviously MANY agree with me because it was on the air for NINE YEARS and they still show reruns on television.
Humor can be such a strange thing. I mean, if you hear a joke that makes you laugh and you share it with me and I don't think it's funny is the joke funny? How about if I share original humor that makes me laugh and YOU don't think it's funny is it still funny because it made me laugh? It seems to me that humor can be a very personal thing. For example, I am a fan of the animated comedy show Family Guy. Yes, lots of the jokes can be rather crass and obviously border on being censured by the commercial television 'bored', but at least they don't stoop as low as those HBO comedians. It took a while before I got hooked on the show Family Guy but some of those skits really make me laugh.
I consider this little Family Guy skit to be hilarious to the point of being right up there with the very best the comedy team of Abbott & Costello had ever produced, but you may not think it's funny. So, what is funny? I guess as long as I laugh at it the joke is funny FOR ME in the final analysis this is all that counts; that I LAUGH, not that YOU laugh:
