Humor as Seen By An Orge

"The most wasted day of all is that

on which we have not laughed."

- Nicolas Chamfort

There are certain things in life that just funny. Your friends in pain from doing something really stupid, a pet farting and startling itself, sneezing and crapping your pants. But, it is the simplest of all things that makes something funnier.

Violence

Anyone who was seen The 3 Stooges knows what I am talking about. Moe, Larry, and Curly were comical geniuses. They knew, in order to make a scene funnier, you must resort to these acts. You can't tell me they would have been the gods they are had they not poked eyes, slapped heads, and used a monkey wrench on each others noses.

"Bring hither the skin diving suit with

the bottom cut out,

and unleash the rampant wildebeest."

(Red Dwarf but still a funny quote)

I bring this up for reason. I'm sitting here, getting ready to go to bed before I have to head into work. I'm watching classic BBC comedy as it is far superior to American comedy. Its called Bottom and here is synopsis

Richard "Richie" Richard and Edward "Eddie" Elizabeth Hitler (No relation) are two losers who share a flat in Hammersmith. Richie has never had sex and doesn't have a girlfriend. He doesn't accept the fact that women don't want to sleep with him. Eddie is a bald alcoholic who has bit of a drinking problem and loves smashing everything to pieces. Both Richie and Eddie are unemployed and they spend most of time beating each other up and breaking everything .

Eddie: My Great-Uncle Percy was in the trenches of the first world war. You know what he used to say?

Richie: What?

Eddie : AAH! BLOODY HELL! GERMANS! THOUSANDS OF 'EM! AAAH!

I'm sorry, but you don't find quality programs like this on American TV. And if they did, odds are it would be on FOX and they would cancel it after 2 episodes.

You also can't forget The Young Ones.

Four mis-matched university students share a house in North London: Neil, the hippy; Mike, the cool person; Rick, a would-be anarchist studying sociology; and Vyvyan, the punk medical student who is prone to extreme violence. Together with their bastard Russian landlord, the world of these "bachelor boys" is surreal and violent.

"This calls for a delicate blend of psychology and extreme violence. "

This is true humor at its finest. Simple, violent, and dam funny :)
