An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman walk into a bar. I'd understand if it was one of them that walked into it, but all three of them? They must be some foolish idiots. Also I DON'T SEE WHY THEIR NATIONALITY OR RACE OR RELIGION MATTERS FUCKING PRESS DICKHEADS. Anyway, comedy. I like to act idiotically, because I am fully aware it makes some people laugh. Are they laughing at me or do they find it funny? I honestly don't care, as long as laughs are made, I have succeeded in my goal. Today, we are going to recommend things that we believe are of a humorous nature. Oh, and humour is different for different people, so if you don't find our choices funny you're wrong and I hate you.
The Young Ones - BBC (Series) - Author: Chris
If the BBC is known for one thing, it's sexism. WHAMO! It's also produced some top comedy series, such as Miranda. AGAIN JUST KIDDING HOLY SHIT THAT PROGRAM IS BAD! The Young Ones is an excellent series about the Cliff Richard song of the same name. OH MY GOD TRIPLE JOKES WHY AM I SO FUNNY? Seriously though, they talk about Cliff Richard in it all the time. It's actually about four college students living together in a house in Thatcher's Britain. Except it's absolutely insane. Dumb jokes, absurd visual gags, and the house is completely destroyed by the end of every episode. Some of the jokes are even relevant today! (What does that tell you about how much better we are?) They even have a musical guest on every episode, because, well, why not? (so they could get a light entertainment budget instead of a comedy budget actually fun fact.) Every character is a fantastic stereotype that is a thrill to watch: you have Neil the suicidal hippie, Mike the cool dude, Rick (played by the late Rik Mayall) the "I swear I'm an anarchist just listen to my poetry you fascists" guy, and Vyvyan, the punk who breaks everything. Oh, and the Balowski family, a Russian family who we only see one member at a time who all look exactly like Alexei Sayle. If you thought their was rules and structure to comedy, well friend, watch this and you will see how a program that was written without care about how they would film any of the jokes later proves you so very wrong. Now move on you fascist bastard.
Player Select - Starbomb (Music) - Author: Darren
If you know us, you'll know that we love Ninja Sex Party. Well, they're part of this other band called Starbomb with Egoraptor (Arin Hanson). They do comedy songs about video games. Infact, they're latest album (Player Select) did remarkably well for itself. That doesn't matter though. You want to know why I like it, don't you? Firsly, the songs are all well written and, weirdly enough, funny. Dan's singing is top and so's Arin's rapping. They manage to bring across a wide range of humour and words words words words *joke* words words.
While there are a few songs on there I don't like, they're in the minority. My personal favourites are Robots in Need of Disguise and Inky's Lament. I would say more but shush you're tired now. Sleep. Shoutout to whoever mixed and eq'd the album though, they did a bang up job.
Also, sneaky side note: One of my favourite jokes to tell is "I like my slaves how I like my coffee... Free." because it's great to watch people react and really satisfying to get the timing right on. Also also, Chris is a dirty racist.
Saints Row 4 - Volition (Game) - Author: Chris
Don't believe a word Darren says, I am not a crook. Anyway, Saints Row 4 is a game (no shit Sherlock) about a street gang that somehow gained presidency, got abducted by aliens, got forced into a simulation, and then gained the ability to have super powers. Isn't that a barrel of fish that enjoy fun. If you loved the silly aspects of previous Saints Row games, you'll love this one, in fact, I think this will become your new favourite (unless you are die hard Saints Row 2 like everyone is), considering the writers have dropped the obsession with porn stars and produced one of their strongest pieces of work yet. Obscure references, random cameos (there is a whole thing about Keith David being Keith David in this game, and then a bit happens when Roddy Piper comes to help you fight him and HOLY SHIT THEY LIVE REFERENCE FOR NO REASON YES) and wrestling comments. Because from what I've seen and heard, the writers love wrestling. The customisation is fantastic, and the coop is one of the most fun things in video games, as it always has been with Saints Row. Check this game out, it is funny as shit, and a solid game.
I noticed a lot of jokes were made about race and gender in this post, well, more than normal. If this has slightly offended you in anyway, let us know, so we can try and offend you even more next week. I KID I KID we can do it any day of the week. On a serious note, we hate everyone equally, so don't feel bad about it.*
*Actually do, we hate you.**
**The joke is we hate everyone.***
***Because this entire post was about comedy.
