For example, comments left on YouTube... I find myself laughing more at comments than comedians..

Lots of funny comments on this interesting video, here are some from the videos I liked

"he's speaking English to them like it'll make a difference"

"Next day in the news: big forest fire in australia"

"1st gift how to burn the forest ,wow"

" Meets white man………. then a walmart opens up🤣"

"Meets white man. Puts chemicals in his mouth"

"Why the FucK didn't anybody tell me that I got feathers and a bloody coke straw in my nose..!!!??"

"I dont blame them for being nervous. French people are scary with there barays, weewees and ceeiigarehts."

"The lead chief yelled at the woman saying how white man has credit cards. You can hit the new mall that will be built here soon."

"Just imagine all the pranks we could have played on them.. Thai Ladyboys…chia pets, masterbation greetings, whoopee cushions.. mexican jumping beans, chinese finger traps, .. sea monkeys…pop rocks, showing MTV, Vodka, oh the list is endless, So sad we can't run simulations where we can try different scenarios and no one gets hurt.."

"Who else is high asf and wondering how they ended up here?"

"One day a British man gave tribal leader in Africa a rotating chair and asked him to point out a piece of land to give 'em. African dude sat on chair and chair rotated whilst he was still pointing. That 360 rotation gave the white man all of the land….. If you understand" --- how deep! I'm half-laughing at that last sentence.

Many people seem to sometimes enjoy the comments on videos more than the actual videos (myself included).

You can even sometimes find more insight in a comment than in a video, which can be refreshing to see when it comes to certain points being made/illustrations/examples/etc. But many comments on popular videos or niche-type subjects sometimes seem to be posted with the intention of standing out beforehand it seems. I don't really bother with the "points game" anymore though when it comes to posting something obvious/satirical/bait-ish/etc. in particular places only just with the intention of getting attention/likes from it.

But I agree and usually find some comment sections pretty funny/interesting. The stuff posted in comments sometimes even amplifies the material in the video, which could be good or bad I suppose.

Same.. But its only because humor seems to be trivial, silly, or just plain stupid. I think those commenters are much funnier than those who get paid to be funny.

[–] SolemnMime (174) 6 years ago

Maybe it should be more the other way around then. Ha.

I mean it seems to make some sense in that case. They only get paid in likes though, but it's better than nothing maybe...

Its gotten to the point where I can't find a comedian (one that I haven't seen before) I can laugh at/with, but by accident, I read text and it cracks me up.

[–] SolemnMime (174) 6 years ago

Seeking out comedy in stand up format usually doesn't work well for me/make me laugh.

I tend to find funny in less direct or intended forms of humor -- or unexpected stuff I didn't anticipate to be really funny exactly. Not really easy to explain, but sometimes you may not find something funny because you're expecting it to be at some specific standard beforehand.

Going in without immediate or specific expectations sometimes works out better when it comes to humor (among other things).

I agree that many times its not planned, but I think its the times. The things people find funny doesn't do a thing for me. I've seen hundreds of stand-up comedians on TV or live, but then I've met funnier people in person, and most of my favorite comedians are dead or banned by elites. My favorite ever is 92, and although he has a weekly show, the producer is awful, and just going through the motions, knowing there's no way Mort would know the difference (they take questions from a live audience, but if he misheard, she never corrects him), and he mentions stories I've heard before.
