an example of random comedy
goku (this is something funny in gbs???)
goku riding a unicorn (unicorns are pretty random i guess)
zombie goku (people who like random humor like zombies)
goku eating bacon (like zombies random fans like bacon)
office worker goku with picachu as boss (dilbert style random comedy)
goku did 9/11 (random humor can be combine with "edgy" humor)
ukog (that is goku backwards, in random comedy anything goes)
goku (in random comedy effort actually seems to be frown upon, so you can repeat things)

humor is often the subversion of the audiences expectations, if you distill this to its core, randomness could be construed as attempting to find humor in its more pure form. however, if there is no context to subvert, then the random nature of the humor can seem irritating rather than enjoyable

Woof!

I don't find a lot of random humor outside in the real world anymore, but that's probably because I don't hang out with dumb high school kids now that I'm not a dumb high school kid too.

Also I'm really good at voting for the top vote in a forum poll without looking at the results first. I've got to have like a 98.5% success rate. I'm probably the best on the forums at that. This one was easy by the way.

you ever notice, that comedy you don't like is pretty random? like anything that is not funny, is just random and don't make sense. why do they make this random comedy? its just not funny.

i dunno, i think this might be a great discussion for gbs, because sometimes i think you guys can be pretty "random" but i want to sincerely discuss this

Thanks for not saying "monkey cheese". I appreciated it.

i interview the mad hatter

me: hello mad hatter, people have called you the king of random humor

mad hatter: this table is a chair

he then sat on the table

me: i get it, you are doing this thing where you are taking every objects and showing us the absurdity of labeling them as anything when they are just objects in space, that could be literally anything.

mad hatter: this table is a hat

he then wore the table as a hat

wow so random and enlightening, NOT

Maybe like a skateboard with a bunch of poop on it, not like just a little piece of poo poo but like piled up, and from different animals. And then a little spritz of whipped cream on top. That would be p funny.

i look at you two, zzulu and misanthrope, speaking a different language than me, the language of random humor, and i feel angry because i don't understand it

am i human? am i missing some part of me, some aspect, that allows others to grasp the comedy in these situations. and without this bit, i am not a person?

God that's so sad. Is it really that lovely? Maybe the jokes just aren't very funny.
