 SHECKYmagazine.com COLUMNISTS! Bonnie McFarlane's Seminude Revue!
Roseanne and Rosie seem quite funny and it's obvious that their lack of self control at the craft service table was what made that possible.

 David Cross: It's Not Funny: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Ultimately, Cross has somehow manipulated self-satisfaction, the least funny of all post-collegiate states, into a perfectly valid comedic persona, leaving it up to his audience to sort out their guffaws from their grimaces.
Subsequently, it's hard to find his defensive posturing funny: Cross may be joking, but it's still clear that he wants to own the tragedy of 9/11, like all New Yorkers who spent hours re-routing their morning commutes or trying to forget the sound of a plane crashing into a building full of people.
Still, in the end, it's impossible not to appreciate Cross' political tirades, particularly since precious few independent artists seem to have the balls/gumption/awareness to tackle what is easily the most salient and divisive conflict of the new millennium so far.

 Uncyclopedia:How To Be Funny And Not Just Stupid - Uncyclopedia
There's a reason why it's possible to make a living as an editor, a person whose job is mainly to delete prose and throw manuscripts in the trash: most writing is bad.
Unless it's a true diaphragm-cramper, it's not worth your time (as it will likely get deleted) or ours (we could huff 20 kittens in the time it takes to delete your cruft.)
It's blunt and relatively humorless, and while editorializing can be funny, this passage only ends up killing the humor of the rest of the article.

Belloc's, and a poem or two by Chesterton — while a drawing that is funny in its own right, and not merely because of the joke it illustrates, is a great rarity.
A joke is a temporary rebellion against virtue, and its aim is not to degrade the human being but to remind him that is already degraded.
Its authors are too anxious not to be highbrows — even though they are writing in verse, not to be poets.

Intelligent dialogue and a strong independent streak sometimes cause the United Church of Christ (UCC) and its 1.4 million members to be called a “heady and exasperating mix.” The UCC tends to be a mostly progressive denomination that unabashedly engages heart and mind.

It's a great show for not-funny people to quote in public situations in order to make other people with equally shitty senses-of-humor laugh.

Some moron decided it would be funny to pull the fire alarm at the Manchester regional the instant after they announced which team won the Chairman's Award.

Perhaps their point was this: When we degrade our fellow human beings, even in a misguided attempt to be funny, we suggest that they are less than fully human, and their lives are less valuable than ours.

 The New SteveSilver.net: Not Funny?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
It's hard to navigate through the argument, but it seems to have something to do with the way he makes a mockery of politics, and thus is in some way responsible for "the decline of progressive thought in America."
He also makes it clear that caring doesn't do anything if your caring acts are clueless, impotent, or incompetent.
It's hardly a mark against him that--unlike many other tiresome celebrities any of us could mention--he never, ever forgets that he's a comedian, and not the Messiah from Comedy Central.

The difference is that it's the president making the joke, but let's also remember he's making the joke at a venue at which presidents and other politicians regularly make fun of themselves in politicially incorrect ways.
Yes, it's politically incorrect -- one imagines it's supposed to be.
I don't think its a very good thing for the president to make light of a situation he found so dire that he put the lives of our soldiers on the line to prove.

Perhaps it's a foolish approach to hold HBO to higher standards.
It's pretty clear that, despite its moments, "Da Ali G Show" is not going to be HBO's next defining series.
And, given its almost low-key introduction, maybe HBO never intended it to be.

 That's not funny
It's fairly difficult to offend me and I can find humor in almost anything, so I just don't know.
That's not to say that there are no offensive jokes, it's just that the subject matter isn't what makes it offensive - it's the attitude of the person making the joke that makes it offensive.
The situation is tragic, but the jokes are funny and he used them well to shed a little light on the problem.

I didn't think they were that funny either, but that's because I thought it was a one-joke bit stretched too thin.
Death is funny too, and falling down, and being poor, and walking into walls, and war, and refugee camps, and theft, arson, sodomy, dyslexia, plagues of locusts, ugly warts on your nose, heroin addiction and brain cancer.
