Here's the thing about that video, and the reason why I think I've never been into those guys: it's not actually funny. Who laughs while watching that? Who even cracks a smile?

I imagine the appeal is more in the anticipation of quoting it with your buds. Enunciating "ridged chips" when you ask your pal to bring over some snacks the next time you invite them over seems like a pleasurable, bonding experience. Plus they have all these elaborate, decade-long gags that make people who understand them feel like they are in the in-group, part of something.

But is any of it actually funny? I would say no

Tim and Eric aren't my favorite thing in the world, but I love Heidecker in pretty much anything else.

Awesome show. Great job.

Is there a good pun for wordcel-ery

Where do you find these weird and unsettling terms? Do you deliberately seek them out?

[Alex]

This should go over well with b

I’m curious about moderator pathologies. What’s B’s primary diagnosis? We know you have a blood lust and us-vs-themism (see: War on Terror), but what’s his deal? Is it just an obesity thing?

[Alex]

It’s not as good as Hobbs and Shaw (2019). “Four stars” - TommyMtCom

Argo, re: the humor of that clip: one must understand social conventions in order to understand how to flout them. It requires what psychologists call the Theory of Mind (ironically acronymed as “ToM”).

[The Argonaut]

Ok, but does that clip make you smile? Did you laugh? Or do you just recognize it as humor.

[BurtReynolds]

The enunciation at the end really sold it for me.

[The Argonaut]

Did you laugh, burt? Did you even fucking laugh?

[BurtReynolds]

That's not important right now.

[The Argonaut]

Did you smile, Burt? Did you even fucking smile?

[Alex]

I smiled and laughed and then I shared it on RM because I enjoyed it so much and it went over really well! As always, I’m really happy I’m participating here, among a community of like-minded people.

[The Argonaut]

I don't believe you. I don't fucking believe you

Check out Nite Live on YouTube. A real classic show.

[The Argonaut]

Wow, someone give those guys more money to make awkward content with no social value or true humor just dumb garbage for bad people who will go to hell when they die for laughing at bad jokes
