That's not a good example to use for jokes because people can justify lighthearted humor as an improvement to their day. Having fun is healthy for you, and whatnot.
I think a better way to deal with it is to say that there's a time and place for comedy and HN is not usually that place.
- johnnygasgoine 12y ago"Having fun is healthy for you" The problem is that some vague reference to a shitty movie isn't fun. There's no witticism in his comment is there? He's effectively saying "this situation can be related to one in a movie". Not exactly hilarious, is it?
- source99 12y agoNot exactly hilarious. For sure. But I viewed the parallels as interesting and thought others might be interested as well. In the future I'll be sure to make my comments dead pan serious without any humor.
