Response to Jessica
A lot of people find the Brady Bunch and I Love Lucy very funny, but sadly for me I just don't find that funny at all. I know this doesn't necessarily sound good, but I couldn't be more biased on shows that are old. I refuse to watch movies that were made before 1984. I don't care how good people say they are, Im not watching them. And you can bet your bottom dollar that the same goes for TV shows as well. Black and white movies/shows make me go insane. I can't imagine living in a time where TV was in black and white. Its not a thing against racism because I have many black friends, but its more of a "this quality sucks" kind of thing. I think the acting was terrible back then and the humor was a**. I personally think that I can be more creative and broadcast better shows then they did back in those days. After just growing up with the dry sick humor that I hear today, along with the amazing graphics and edits, I just don't appreciate some of the older displays. Thats just me though.

I share your pain. i just can't find these things all that funny. I'm not sure why, really. Maybe I was warped by the shock humor that was really in full swing by the time I was old enough to pay attention. 1984 is a classic year in this regard--the year of Ghostbusters. Does it make the cutoff?
ReplyDeleteThe line about "it's not a thing against racism" is funny. Did you mean to write "racism" and not "other races"?
If you need it to be dirty to be funny, what do you think about the dirty old stuff we are reading then?
