I'd insert that one quote from Billy Madison here, but your comment is not even worth the copy+paste effort.

- autotune 4y agoBy definition, a joke is supposed to be funny. What you wrote was just complete garbage that I would have sooner believed to have been written by a GPT-3 text generator than a human being.

- autotune 4y agoJust stop. I am not religious, but will pray for any co-workers or family members who have to deal with you and your sense of humor on a daily basis.
- ravi-delia 4y agoAlright I'll bite- what here specifically offended you? I'm building out my people-model, but clearly there are still some edge cases.
- autotune 4y agoYou keep doubling down on your current "sense of humor" rather than trying something, literally anything, different. Here is a word of advice - if you are trying to be funny with a joke, but it doesn't have a punchline, it is likely not funny.
- ben_w 4y agoI found it funny. And if you'd replied with that one quote from Billy Madison, rather than making a grumpy reference to it, I'd have found that funny too. There's plenty of humour in absurdity, even without punchlines; and ravi-delia displayed a similar style of humour to the "Look Around You" TV series.
- autotune 4y agoI didn't include it specifically because I don't come to HN for funny comments that make others laugh, that is what reddit is for. Different site, different purpose.
- ravi-delia 4y agoI was just setting up autotune for a link to the wikipedia for punchline (that they actually talked about punchlines in the comment was a truly blessed coincidence) but instead I would like to thank you for introducing me to the Look Around You series. It looks fantastically funny.
- fnordpiglet 4y agoI laughed. So it must be with the reader that the problem exists, not the writer.
