playa hatin' (or, let's get a few things straight)

[rone]

Penny Arcade is not funny.
Dave Barry stopped being funny around the time Reagan left office.
Achewood is not funny.
The Onion was funny until they started repeating themselves sometime around `97.  They'll occasionally have a good zinger, but most of their stuff is telegraphed to hell and back.
Jerk City is not funny.
Sinfest is funny until you realize it's a adolescent ripoff of Bloom County with the main character being two-thirds Milo, one third (Watterson's) Calvin.
Something Positive is not funny.
David Letterman is funny only when compared to Jay Leno.
McSweeney's is not funny.

Well, now that we're playing "Funny / Not Funny", what do you think of Wonder Showzen?

(guerilla interview segments: not funny, other segments: funny)

Never heard of it. My list is mostly a reaction against stuff that many people in my circle think is funny (or amusing or cool, in which case please update "not funny" to "not funny or amusing or cool").

Some of the guerrilla interview segments are good too. "Who have you oppressed today?" Come on now, that's funny.
