Quote: Aaron @ April 12 2008, 10:07 PM BSTI think that's it really. It's just simple humour that isn't ashamed to be simple humour. It's not trying to be clever and failing. It's just being funny, being what it is, with no intention of being anything else.
With the snobbery some members here show, I'm surprised Bottom isn't roundly hated - but it's long established that most members have so many double standards that their posts have no consequence on the real world.
Anyway.
Yeah, it is what it is. It's not trying to be clever, and then failing to do so. It's just being funny - and if that's not your particular sense of humour, then that's not your sense of humour. That is why we like it, but can't quite work out why!
Well... I wasn't going to post any more, except Aaron has goaded me into it.
It isn't about snobbery. In fact there seems to be some sort of inverted snobbery going on in your posts that suggests mainstream (for want of a better description) is always best. Some people (yourself included, in fact) are capable of liking what they like and not liking what they don't like. Simple as that. It's a shame you have to assume some sort of snobbery exists in those who don't always like the offerings that mainstream TV puts up. And given that there's fair agreement that most new TV comedy isn't that good it's hardly a surprise that most new TV comedy gets a less than positive response on here, is it?
I agree with your final point: if you find it funny and enjoy it I am very happy with that. Please do me the same service and respect my opinion if I don't enjoy it.
