I love these made up scenarios that never happened

[-] sajran@lemmy.ml 41 points 11 months ago

Does it have to be real to be funny?

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 24 points 11 months ago

It has to be believable at least

As a fan of absurdist comedy: I wholeheartedly disagree.

Throw me a bone... Seen anything good lately? I haven't laughed hard in months. Still looking for the next League of Gentlemen.

I think you shoukd leave is a funny show on netflix, but with most absurdist humor its much funnier after you watch it and then think back to it

Something new? Pfft. I wish. It's like that kind of comedy just dropped off the map; everything I see even in the category of "comedy" in the last few years is usually some sort of Romcom, or better categorized as something else (like Action for a Marvel hero movie).

Though you did say League of Extraordinary Gentlemen so perhaps some of the Marvel films would do it. They are fairly humorous. Especially the Antman movies.

Outside of movies, there's a bunch of current cartoons on YouTube that are great, but without any kind of schedule for uploads like Helluva Boss and Digital Circus. Hazbin Hotel is starting January 19th on Amazon, too.

League of Gentlemen, not league of extraordinary gentlemen. If you haven't seen it, you're in for a treat. It's some of the raunchiest piss your pants stupid funny stuff you'll ever see. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0184135/

But thanks. I'll check out that YT stuff.

Well, that's why we get shotty comics nowadays. Ducktales, Darkwing Duck, Gummibears etc didn't have to be believable to be enjoyed...

[-] grayman@lemmy.world -2 points 11 months ago

Do you also watch scifi and fantasy movies and complain they're not real?

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I literally made a comment under this one that explains this "gotcha". Read the entire thread before commenting.
