If you haven't played cards against humanity, many of the cards run roughshod over subjects that would give network execs heart attacks. From my experience the average CaH session is an order of magnitude more crass than anything on network television.

But the funniest jokes from these cards aren't from potty language, but from the following: We had about 10 players, I read the card. _____. High five bro. Players played what they thought was funny. One person put down the card, "Battlefield amputation" I read it, deadpan. "Battlefield amputation. High five bro.".... And in the course of 5 seconds, we all just realized how wrong that was. One lady laughed for a good 5 minutes for that card response.

  Agreed. My favorite example is the question card "Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's ____." To which my dad played "Leprosy". I still chuckle when I think about it.

    My favorite play was the card "It's a pity that kids these days are all getting involved with _____" and I played "taking a mans eyes and balls out and putting his eyes where his balls go and his balls in his eye holes".

I know the Simpsons has been on forever and there is about a decade of it I haven't seen but it was not always a low brow show (assuming it is one now). The Simpsons was brilliant comedic social commentary for 5-8 years starting around season 3/4. I wouldn't call the golden years of the Simpsons low brow at all. And I don't have any issues with low brow, I just don't think it's an accurate description of the comedic work I think of when I think of the Simpsons.

  I'll say for the record that I have no problem removing the term "low brow" from my comment. Just... pretend it's not there or something.

Aside from this, it's also the interactive aspect of it that plays a part in its appeal, I think.
