It’s a great example of “anti-humor” which shouldn’t be funny, but somehow works for me. Norm MacDonald, Andy Kaufman esque.

quote:

Anti-humor is a type of indirect and alternative humor that involves the joke-teller's delivering something that is intentionally not funny, or lacking in intrinsic meaning. The practice relies on the expectation on the part of the audience of something humorous, and when this does not happen, the irony itself is of comedic value.

Oh yeah, it's ridiculous.

I should probably ask you for some recommendations for British comedy too.

I'm a big fan of Black Books, Ghosts, Man Down, GameFace, Toast of London, Taskmaster, etc.

Also like the darker ones like The End of the fricking World and Inside No. 9.

Did you pick up anything good when you were over there?

The In Betweeners is great, and so is An Idiot Abroad.

But my favorite is People Just Do Nothing. Look it up and read the premise for context before watching the vid below.

The guys giving music advice to Post Malone. Humor is so quick it’s hard to catch it all on first try. LINK

To us it is.

Unfortunately I don’t think they get the irony part.
