Half-Baked was good but his show kicks that movie in the ass, 10-fold. Half-Baked isn't even a "must own" DVD.

Season 1 of his show ain't the number one selling TV show on DVD for nothin'. (Family Guy is number 2)

It's a cultural thing. American comedy isn't considered funny over here (Dave Chappelle isn't shown here on the main channels afaik, Seinfeld was relegated to the late late shift) and American's generally don't have the imagination to understand British humour.

Why is it that because someone doesn't like it they lack the imagination?

I get it. We have some shows (and comedians) with the same humor. However, the Weebl doohicky was slow and dry. I'll admit I tend to like humor that has crying and trying to catch my breath and not the "Aha, that sure was funny :naughty: ."

We call some stuff like that ....corny.

Tbh, I reeeally thought you guys were jiving about that Weebl skit.

Hell I didn't watch Seinfeld 'till it hit syndication. That's how it was with almost every black folk I know. I never watched one first run episode.

I believe it's about the accents...on both sides of the ocean.

We tend to have more diversity in our comedy while on you side the diversity would be just different Europeans.

It might the "melting pot" nature of our country.

According to my cousin that lives in manchester, english humor is very dry and sarcastic...

I've peeped that. I tend to like the sarcastic part though. Plus not all English humor is that way.

I guess American's like more bust your gut in your face humor (I'm speaking from a black American perspective though).

We like alot of "why is it that...." humor as well. Normal every day things that upon reflection, are funny.

I remember one comedian named EarthQuake making a joke about the Nation Of Islam fellas that sell Final Call newspapers (and bean pies) at stop lights.

Every time you them, they are dressed to a tee...with sharp looking suits on with bow ties. However, they will be out there in 100 degree weather selling away and walking on asphalt.

He said, "Don't they have a Muslim short-set or sumthin?" and the crowd lost their minds. :lol: :lol:

For example, when I've watched British humor, it may encompass British, Scottish, and Irish. (I talking about the accent I hear).

Over here, we'll have that and Korean, Japanese, Mexican, Canadian, black American, Jamaican, Indian, Italian, Jewish, African, Arab........

A black Briton just sounds like the rest of the Britons.

A black American sounds nothing like a white American unless it's Bryant Gumble.(I know I'm generalizing)

We have a plethora of accents that can mixed together. I know it doesn't happen all the time but it ain't odd when it does.

However,many Americans find British humour funny,as
I am sure many Brits find American humour funny.

Dave Chappelle pokes fun at racism with his use of satire.
One of the characters in his skits,is a blind Ku Klux Clan
wizard who happens to be black,and doesn't realize it.
When he finds out...he leaves his wife, because he
refuses to be with someone who is a "nigger lover".

I find him hilarious...to each their own.

It appears then that it isn't that British comedy has lack of diversity, it is that you lack diversity in the British comedy you have seen.

However my question was raised because you said

the diversity would be just different Europeans.

I asked how that would be different from our diversity because Europe isn't one culture or country and not one language.

I would add that Britain is just as, if not, more diverse as a nation than the USA.

I really wasn't kidding, I don't like his brand of humour (and I'm not british btw). He just tries too hard, and a lot of it is about the colour of his skin.

Maybe I don't like him 'cos we don't really have that kind of system you do wrt ethnic groups, or maybe it's 'cos I only see the kind of person (and I don't mean people just of african descent, it's about the attitude too) he portrays, in american stuff, really, so it's not really real to me.

But I though Seinfeld was sort of funny, sometimes.

To each their own and all that.

Indulge me please.

What was so funny about the Elvis/Weebl doohicky?

Good explanation on the Dave Chappelle thingamagig.

It goes along with mine...the "Why is that...." or "Don't you hate it when...." type of joke.

If you have never experienced/been around such things then you won't think it funny (which goes along with With's cultural whatchamacallit)

On diversity,
Dave Chappelle for instance, did a skit where he was a white supremacist..that was black but didn't know it.

We have comedy that can take our cultural differences and make it funny.

One time he had one, instead of the World Series Of Poker, he had the World Series Of Dice. It had commentators and everything but was set in a boiler room of a New York apartment projects. In the middle of the game, Charlie Murphy busts in and robs everyone.

Another classic.

What about the episode within an episode where they used the TV show Fear Factor and the crackhead Tyrone Biggums was a contestant........classic.

This stuff ain't a couple of chuckles and you think about how witty one of the jokes was. It's hurt yourself, slap yo momma, ROFLMAO!!!OMG!1!1!, catch your breath, laughter.

It's colorful.

So please...indulge me and explain the Weebl jahoogadoo. :rolleyes:

Thanks in advance. :)

[Snee]

Yes, that's very nice (well not really the way he does it, and pointing out differences as a comedic device was hardly something that was invented in the US, I think it's present everywhere in the world), but how in the world can you say that the US is more diverse than Europe :blink:

WRT the white supremacist thing, as it happens, this one writer, here in all places, wrote a story about a blind bloke hating black people and being a blind white supremacist, and being black himself, in the seventies. It's hardly an original concept (tho' I think his story was more serious than funny). I've got the book somewhere, read it when I was like eleven.

Weeble is funny in a monty python kind of way, 'cos it's absurd and surreal and slightly mental. I can't explain it beyond that if you don't get it.

Also, it takes a bit of thought, whereas that Chappelle stuff is, i dunno', crude.

No I wanted to actually explain the Weebl skit. Usually folks don't want to explain a joke 'cause it takes away from it. I don't care help me out. Really.
Keep in mind I like Monty Python..but this ain't the same to me. I loved the Life Of Brian movie.

Regarding Europe, read post 33. You musta skipped it. :dry:

Regarding Dave Chappelle's skit...when looking at comedy we don't get all into whether the story was heard before. In this case we looked at the execution ffs. I mean shit, now I've watched the skit probably at least 7 times and still think it's funny.

Wtf is this "it takes a bit of thought"?

If that's the case, it's explainable. :mellow:

I'd understand if it was a rocket science joke but usually when folks say that it just means they are insulting the intelligence of another for not liking their humor.

I've seen comedians on amateur night get up and do jokes where no one laughed and on occasion, some of them insulted the audience for "not laughing"....never once thinking that 'cause friends and mom thought it funny that maybe everyone else thought it rather **coughcough** drryyy.

[lynx]

I think SnnY was saying that whether you find it funny is simply a state of mind, not that there's anything to explain. He wasn't being insulting as far as I could see.

The "it takes a bit of thought" was in comparison to Chappelle's stuff, so if anything he was perhaps being insulting about Chappelle.

I can really see how you don't like Weebl. I looked at the Weebl and Bob website and it seems like something that is shown before breaking to commercial or advertising a TV channel.

There are fans somewhere though if they have a season 1 DVD set.

Again, nicely done, my point tho', was that the particular humour you like didn't come about 'cos you live in a society with more diversity than any other.

A special kind of diversity perhaps, but then, everywhere else is unique in a way, too. I got a bit hung up on you saying that the US would be more diverse than Europe, 'cos that struck me as a bit mad.

As for explaining weebl, I don't think it's possible, you either get it or you don't, kinda' like they say about opera. In contrast (and this is but an opnion) I can see what's supposed to be funny, and I can understand where the punchline is in one of Chappelle's sketches, but I think it's too simple.

Weeble is madness (which makes it funny, 'cos it's the right kind, and it's very unpredictable), whereas Chappelle strikes me as juvenile.

But opions differ, and so forth.
