Comedy Survey
If you are bored give you opinion:

The Three Stooges are classic comedy.

I think that they are some of the funniest things ever done.

Niagra Falls anyone?

The Three Stooges are scary dimwitted idiots that forgot the french fries when assembling the happy meal. Seriously. Since when is falling down supposed to be funny? And what's the obsession with pie? (Granted, I have a bit of a pie-obsession, yet it's at least *healthy*)

Give me Robin Williams, George Carlin, Bill Cosby... people like that.

Heck, most of the guests on Bob and Tom are pretty decent...

Or, well... Moonwulf's filks. Those can make me laugh something pretty hard.

And yeah... have you ever SEEN Warder Anton at work? I think that if that Bronze Ring thing doesn't work out for him, he should investigate stand up comedy...

	none of those guys -- well, except maybe Moonwulf -- have anything without building on the Stooges. Ever see Mork and Mindy? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Loved Mork and Mindy as a kid. That doesn't mean that I needfully "get" some of what makes RW funny. I love his stand up, I love some of his other stuff... but when he starts going too reliant on falling on his ass and less making me think, I don't get it. Why again, is falling down funny?

	it isn't because it isn't -- to you, and others, including the wife. it is because it is -- to me, Bo, and literally hundreds of thousands of other people. Otherwise, no one would be watching. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mork and Mindy was almost an homage to the Stooges! And Robin Williams could be the greatest living comedian. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I could write a feminist-theory laced dissertation on gender differences and humor, but then my husband would jump down my throat for stereotyping him, so instead I will just say: The Three Stooges are boring and stupid. Physical humor without wit does nothing for me. Which is why I prefer the Marx Brothers, but that's another issue. (Reply to this)

	The Three Stooges are masters of what is referred to as “Low comedy”. Physical gags and pratfalls, people getting hurt, etc. I have never found that kind of thing funny. I’ll take intelligent “high comedy” any day. (Reply to this)

	I don't especially enjoy the Three Stooges; it's a style of comedy I've never really appreciated. Many other people clearly feel differently. (Reply to this)

	For instance, I can very much enjoy this kind of stuff, but rarely find the stuff done on Jackass funny. I so agree with that. Most people do not understand that there is a line. Thanks for the links. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	no. Stooges(Zanie)=not funny. Stooges(dwer)=funny. Stooges(Ix)=funny. Stooges(smlworldvortex)=funny. Suggesting that men are not empathetic and then in the next breath simply insisting that something that thousands of people think is funny cannot be funny at all... now THAT's funny. Among other things. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Stooges: brilliant in short doses. Marx Brothers and WC Fields: just brilliant. Today: the Coen Brothers, Kevin Smith and Quentin Tarantino. A kidnapper in a wood chipper? How do you get better than that. If the Stooges were working today, they would have done the gag! (Reply to this)

	Waste of cellulose. (sorry, I think their humor is juvenile at best, and pointless no matter what).. (having said that, I can watch Bugs Bunny for hours, so I'm not exactly claiming the high ground on a mature sense of humor) (Reply to this)

	purplebard 2008-05-09 04:44 pm UTC (link)
	I've watched the Stooges for over thirty years. Never once have I ever thought that they were actually hurting themselves. I'm pretty sure most people know the difference between a prat-fall and a real fall. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I know the difference between the two and that doesn't matter. It's just my gut reaction. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sorry, I cringe anytime I see that. Always have. It's like I'm the one doing it, even if I know it's fake and in a funny situation. Just me. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I love that giant pie fight at the big posh party, btw. Hail Eris!! That is another classic bit of humor! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Not even in cartoons. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sgtgwn 2008-05-09 07:02 pm UTC (link)
	Not even in cartoons, my least favorite cartoon is the Roadrunner Cartoons because I feel so bad for the Cayote (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
