You keep doubling down on your current "sense of humor" rather than trying something, literally anything, different. Here is a word of advice - if you are trying to be funny with a joke, but it doesn't have a punchline, it is likely not funny.


I found it funny.

And if you'd replied with that one quote from Billy Madison, rather than making a grumpy reference to it, I'd have found that funny too.

There's plenty of humour in absurdity, even without punchlines; and ravi-delia displayed a similar style of humour to the "Look Around You" TV series.


I was just setting up autotune for a link to the wikipedia for punchline (that they actually talked about punchlines in the comment was a truly blessed coincidence) but instead I would like to thank you for introducing me to the Look Around You series. It looks fantastically funny.


I didn't include it specifically because I don't come to HN for funny comments that make others laugh, that is what reddit is for. Different site, different purpose.
