Things that are no longer humorous

I only remember two things about America’s Funniest People. One was a kid who did his impression of an “overripe tomato” by holding his breath and making blood rush into his face and a guy who was about sixty strip down to a gold speedo while dancing to “U Can’t Touch This”. In the middle of a mall!

I just remember thinking that someone from another country might tune into this show and get the impression that these actually are America’s funniest people.

MGV. Was mildly cute and somewhat funny for a while. Not anymore.

(Most of you are all, “Huh? MGV??”. Oh well.)

They are America’s Funniest People. Not funny-ha-ha, but funny like “This foil wrapped thing in the back of the fridge smells funny.”

Just another one of the indicators that America is a shitty place to live, eh? :smiley:

A phrase that turns up in 87% of all Pit threads and is so not funny anymore:

[ul]"Get off the cross. We need the wood.[/ul]

I generally stop reading a thread when that one pops up.

Anything pertaining to “Who Let the Dogs Out”

On the board:
People getting naked.

All things Viagra. It stopped being funny about a few hours after it came out.

“Waaazzzuupp” is no longer funny. In fact, any ad campaign in which you do more than four commercials with the same gag, it is too much.

Where’s the beef?
Budwiser frogs
Budwiser lizards
etc.

They all stop being funny after 4 gags.

(For the sake of perspective, I’ve never heard of the WAAZZUP TV commercial; I’ve seen allusions to it here and there, and it always mystifies me. Additionally, I never saw the first runs of the Budweiser frogs, and the first time I saw the chameleons – in a magazine ad – I thought the frogs were looking kin of sickly. Also, who the hell is Dave Courvoisier? When America’s Funniest Home Videos is over, it’s time to turn to FOX for “The Simpsons.”)

Now that I have hinted at just how clueless I am regarding contemporary popular culture, may I just say, that I’ve never seen a commercial with that Pepsi Cola moppet that didn’t make me laugh out loud. Of course, I only tend to see each one once or twice…

Pepsi Cola moppet!!! AAKKKKK! GAH! and FEH! PTOOI!

Oh, God, I thought she’d finally gone away, and I managed to get over my distaste of Faith Hill so television was safe once again - except this holiday season that wretched little gap-toothed Curly Sue/Savannah Smiles wannabe is back! UGH! I just hate her soooo much…flames, FLAMES at the side of my face…heaving…pant-…heaving breaths…Where was I?

I actually do know a funny wife-beating joke:
Q: What does a woman do when she gets home from the battered women’s shelter?

A: The dishes, if she knows what’s good for her!

I don’t find it too funny…maybe it’s just me though.

What do you tell a woman with two black eyes?

Nothing. You already told the bitch twice.

FTR:
She has been asked about this. She has stated that the song was not about him specifically. When the interviewer asked her about it she sorta snickered and said that Dave likes to think that the song is about him.

I don’t wanna see her again! Too scary! Too scary! Pepsi Girl BAD!!

<collapses in twitching heap on the ground>

Her name is Hallie Eisenberg. I provide this information as a public service that you may possibly have an early warning system to avoid her when you see the name.

Someone who posts on this board’s mother lives right around the corner from young Hallie.

Tim,

If I give her a dollar will she go slap her?

Kaylasdad,
