Okay, when soeone presents an argument, it is traditional amongst the non-brain-damaged members of our society to respond in turn with an argument they have constructed, usually beginning with "I respectfully disagree with you on these points because....", rather than resorting to what is essentially Sesame Street debates.

oh god

on topic: most people dont like fail pictures because their always lame and sometimes not even a "fail"

That's like adding
HAHAHA to a pic
that's not funny.
NOT SETTLED!

A lot of the pics you posted weren't funny on their own. Adding "FAIL" made them much worse.

Bobb are you a 4 channer or something?

That has nothing to do with what I asked. And thanks for the "HAHAHA" wave.

That's what she said. I know what that means. What does it have to do with fail?

No, the thing is, your idea of comedy includes grievous bodily harm. I suppose you'd find a picture of a dying AIDS patient funny if it had "FAIL" on it.

Everything. Also, stop double posting. Also also, stop being a general nuisance. I know you have it in you.

I think the technical term for this idea is Slapstick , the lowest form of comedy.

For what it's worth, Bobb, I agree with you. 'FAIL' is funny. Maybe it's because of its minimalistic style, the compression of the contents of the picture into one defining word? Who knows, man? But I do know that I wouldn't have found that picture of the capsizing ship funny without the 'SHIPMENT OF FAIL' caption.

Useless demotivators like the one Thorvald posted, however, are usually annoying.

Joecoolyo: why you hatin' on slapstick? Charlie Chaplin, man! Buster Keaton! Slapstick rivals the humble pun at the very top of the pile of comedies. (The lowest form is probably political comedy.)

I think they're great. But many people on this forum don't. Why?

You're not funny.

Like this roundabout argument.

Thank you.

(Political humor is pretty funny, sight gags aren't)

these guys did a lot of slapstick comedy and they were hilarious!

You're not funny.

was I trying to be funny?

Bobb are you a 4 channer or something?

no, and I don't get what that has to do with the subject.

Train wreck of a thread.

Gentleman, many of you had better learn to use the ignore button rather than the post button when someone does not meet you personal standards of posting, or escalating penalties will have you out of here.
