I am so sick and tired of movies, tv shows, and anyone in person, or otherwise, that thinks PISS, SHIT, AND/OR VOMITING is amusing. TOILET HUMOR IS THE MOST FUCKING STUPID SUBJECT MATTER TO USE FOR HUMOR! :mad: I refuse to watch any of these shows like jackass, or Tom Green, or a movie like Eddie Murphy’s Nutty Prof. II when they have to resort to this kind of senseless juvenile garbage. IMHO If shit equals comedic talent, then the so-called “talent” of the individual implementing said medium is also equivalent to shit. ---

This makes me wonder why you even bothered coming back to the boards after your most recent absence. I mean, have you _read_ any of the bathroom threads?!? ---

Humor is in the eye, or ear, or anus of the beholder. In my opinion, if it ain’t scatological, then it ain’t that funny. Now, y’all excuse me while I go pinch off a loaf. ---

“Toilet humor is not comedy”—— _Interesting_. Might I ask what comedy _is_ before I show my extreme skepticism at what you feel it isn’t? ---

Might I ask what comedy _is_ before I show my extreme skepticism at what you feel it isn’t? \*\* Eri, there are a few certain shadey elements of society that prefer a Whit Stillman film over Jay and Silent Bob. I know, it frightens me, too. Now please excuse me, I have to drop the Cosby kids off at the pool. ---

Okay, you gots your really witty Fraiser stuff, which is nice when you actually want to think. Then you have things like the movie Clerks, which is one toilet joke after another. In improv, we stay away from scatological humor only becuase it is so easy to do. I find nothing wrong with it. It has a place. It leads to better comedy. Look at South Park two years ago and now. Now it is witty. See the Trapper Keeper episode? You needed to think to get some of the references. For everything, there is a season. ---
