I have no difficulties finding books, art or music that I love. I know where to look, what to seek, therefore I can always have new stuff to read, appreciate and listen.
However, things are not so easy when it comes to humor and comedy. I spend a lot of my spare time trying to find funny videos or shows or stand-ups but I find it much harder to see something I like. Tormented by this waste of time, during which I could be having fun, I have decided to ask the hive mind what I like, so I can find a pattern which will help me make my search easier.
Here are some things I like (reasons and examples in parenthesis):
- Seinfeld (clever / I can relate to)
- Family Guy (just plain funny / like the pop culture references)
- Dave Chappelle (his stand-ups, rick james impression, black white supremacist)
- Coen Brothers (fantastic dialogs, surreal situations, raising arizona, big lebowski, fargo)
- Monty Python (surreal situations, clever jokes)
- Airplane!, Naked Gun, Top Secret (plain funny, slapstick, some surreal situations)
- The Onion website (absurd things dealt with like they are the most normal things in the world)
- Dr. Strangelove (movie)
- Some like it hot (movie)
- Spanish Mike (youtube video)
- Terry Tate, office linebacker (reebok campain of the early 2000s - see youtube)
- Spinal Tap (i love comedies ridiculing heavy metal and glam rock)
- Louis C.K. (stand-up, self-derogatory humor)
- Saturday Night Live (some sketches, usually impressions of known people)
Things I don't like:
- Scrubs (reasonably funny, but I hate the "moral fiber lessons" at the end)
- Austin Powers (silly)
- Simpsons (boring - clever but where are the laughs)
- Fart jokes
- Woody Allen (boring - i think i'm gonna get killed by this one)
- Adam Sandler (a single character in all movies, and still unfunny / silly)
- Jim Carrey (way too silly and face-twisting-based)
- South Park (too many fart jokes, moral fiber lessons at the end)
Well, this is not a comprehensive list, but I think it can help the hive mind answer one of the two questions: If you find a pattern here, can you tell me what it is? If you don't, can you recommend something that will fit in the "things I like" list so I don't have to look for hours on the Internet?
