What makes you laugh today? What made you laugh in the past? Surely some stay the same, but what has changed? Also just for clarification, I don’t count childhood only because we all had a childish sense of humor and no 4 year old would understand sketch comedy or stuff that goes over their head. I used to really like Family Guy, Archer and stuff like that. Over time I feel like I got over the “Airplane” style of comedy in which every 3 seconds, there’s a joke. I started to get more into shows that were more quality over quantity in terms of jokes. I started watching Curb Your Enthusiasm and Portlandia and stuff like that. I feel like Tim&Eric, Portlandia Eric Andre and Dr. Steve Brule made my sense of humor so weird lmao. I adore weird characters that seem to live in their own World separate from our own. Just the way they interact with ordinary people and to see how oddly a person can respond to normal situations cracks me up. Also shoutout to “Off The Air” on Adult Swim. I also really love sketch comedies like Wkuk, Chappelle show and Key and Peele, also Monty Python on occasion. What do y’all like? Anything recommendations that transformed your sense of humor?

    Hah, great point, when they come out I remember Ricky saying something like “Great, your gay, so what?” And then continuing on calling Lahey and Randy assholes, and then it kind of is a non-issue.

    I have a high theory that Sunnyvale is a kind of utopia in that apparently no one works and people seem to spend a lot of time together as a community, even if it’s generally to antagonize one another.

      Lmfao a Lumpen-Proletarian Paradise! You’re right, I’ve thought about that too, how nearly every single person in Sunnyvale is either a criminal or commits crimes on the job. Lahey is a sad excuse for an officer and often winds up being just as dangerous to the park as Ricky Bubble and Julian. Jacob works odd jobs or retail nearby and turns a blind eye to plenty of crime and eventually becomes a criminal himself working closely with Ricky. Every other industry in the park that requires labor are usually scams to steal shit or to sell black market goods.
