    I was legitimately irritated when the called the gen after 360 the “One” instead of the “Delta.” They had a good thing going, why would they F that up?

      Yeah I used to binge f7u12 for hours at a time. Then one day something just clicked and they were no longer funny. It was weird.

      It’s weird that that’s just how humor seems to go. At one point, the pinnacle of comedy was someone getting pied in the face.

        This is because comedy often revolves around subversion of expectation. When something becomes expected, like a pie to the face, it’s no longer funny.

            Like all slapstick tbh. Inspector Clousau doesn’t enter the situation with the expectation that he will push the duchess tits in the wedding cake, and then slip and rip her dress off. Delboy wants to play it nice and cool but still falls down

              dammit now i really, intensely miss Peter Sellers. The movie they cut together after his passing was not great, but A Shot In the Dark was phenomenal.
