Have you ever noticed that people who find light-hearted satire "unfunny" typically tend to be deeply insecure about the subject being satirized? Like they never admit to being offended but instead pretend the joke was boring, uninteresting or some other sleight.
I'm a weightlifter, my friends are fitness freaks. We can laugh at ourselves, and we can certainly laugh at wannabe-alpha's.
- trevor-e 8y agoI definitely agree, however, half of the satire that was supposed to be about software engineering was just rehashed weightlifting jokes.
- hitekker 8y agoSure but I’d say the juxtaposition of those jokes freshens them up. A gymrat treating an office like his fiefdom is a fine enough premise; not the funniest but also not repetitious.
