De gustibus non est disputandum.
I hope you wouldn’t ask for a refund.
I wouldn’t bother! :mad:
Alan “Alice” Alda and Phil “Phyllis” Donahue* would be proud of you!
*Aka “Mr Marlo Thomas.”
That’s good. It doesn’t cost anything to attend a Saturday Night Live performance. But tickets are hard to come by in the first place. You can only request them in August before the season, they’re given out by a lottery, and you can’t choose which date to attend.
So we can assume that Dougie will write an angry :mad::mad::mad: letter to SNL refusing the tickets that he’ll never write to request this coming August. Right?
You can assume whatever you like. If this had happened I would certainly be bitter about having gone to the trouble of requesting SNL tickets and being so disappointed in what I actually saw. But I would not write to anyone. Infra dig. Network TV programming has so little appeal for me these days that the likelihood of me ordering SNL tickets in the first place is mighty slim. So if such an incident were to happen I would forget about it as soon as I could. About you, too.
I’m confused. Did you inadvertently leave off the punch line in this exchange?
“What happened to my predecessor?”
“He was fired.”
Later …
“Your predecessor was incompetent in his duties!”
“That is why he was fired.”
If there is actually a joke in there, it eludes me. Is it merely the use of the word “butt” that tickles you so? If that’s the case, there are some eleven-year-olds I should introduce you to.
You mean there are people you respect?
Ummmm…what?
ETA: If that was meant to be some sort of humorous *ZING *…it wasn’t.
Lt. Cmdr. Data: [asking Worf to take care of Spot] He will need to be fed once a day. He prefers feline supplement number 25.
Lieutenant Worf: I understand.
Lt. Cmdr. Data: And he will require water. And you must provide him with a sandbox - and you must talk to him. Tell him he is a pretty cat, and a good cat…
Lieutenant Worf: I will feed him.
Lt. Cmdr. Data: Perhaps that will be enough.
Lieutenant Worf: Congratulations. You are fully dilated to ten centimeters. You may now give birth.
Keiko O’Brien: [groans] That’s what I’ve been doing.
Or you could save yourself plane fare to New York and actually watch it a couple of times. Then you’d know you’d be disappointed in advance.
Lt. Cmdr. Jadzia Dax: Worf, you’re practically easygoing. What’s next? A sense of humor?
Lt. Cmdr. Worf: I have a sense of humor! On the Enterprise I was considered to be quite amusing.
Lt. Cmdr. Jadzia Dax: That must have been one dull ship.
Lt. Cmdr. Worf: That is a joke. I get it… it is not funny, but I get it.
That’s OK. There was no wit in anything anyone has said to me so far.

dougie_monty, the purpose of this thread is amusement. If you do not find it amusing, you are perfectly free to avoid it. But please don’t work against others’ amusement.
Acknowledged.
Is anyone else reading this in Mr. Worf’s voice now?
Oh, all right.
Here’s another one from Benny Hill:
Benny is the Speaking Tube Operator, before the advent of telephones.
Benny, on the tube to a friend about the party the night before: I very much admired Her Ladyship’s gold-plated toilet. Very nice, that…Oh, she don’t have a gold-plated toilet?..She has a spare room, where His Lordship keeps his euphonium.
It feels like this thread has been merged with the one titled “Buzz Killington’s favorite lines from TV”

JAKE: Hey, Uncle Charlie! If girls with big boobs work at Hooters, where do girls with one leg work?
CHARLIE: (Shrugs) I dunno.
[spoiler] JAKE: IHOP.
CHARLIE: (After a moment) Gives whole new meaning to “tipping the waitress.” [/spoiler]
