Didn't you hear? Fun was cancelled.
In my opinion we need fun more than ever, but resurrecting fun will require someone who is willing to stand up to the people who believe that everything must be serious.
- dorkwood 7y agoUnfortunately I don't think it's possible for a corporation to be funny, unless they're willing to hand over a large amount of power to a single funny person (or a small team of funny people). A product team of mostly unfunny employees brainstorming "funny" ideas and then filtering those ideas through their managers (who themselves are unlikely to be funny) will result in a funny idea exactly zero percent of the time.
- iamnothere 7y agoFair enough. Additionally, most large companies are probably too risk-averse to greenlight true comedy. Comedy necessarily involves risk; risk of not having your joke land, risk of offending, and so on. There's a good reason that most comedians try out new material in small venues.
