Whether it’s The Eric Andre show, or I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson, popular comedy has started to feel a lot like being online.

I always figured we're finally in a post-post-modern movement where things aren't just random and meaningless to be random and meaningless anymore. Things are now random and meaningless but shared so it can garner a collective meaning. An inside joke for everybody right?

@quintessenceSL 2 года назад

But is it art? Or: fuck art, let's dance. We've moved from comedians screaming Bush is a war criminal (true, but not funny) to shitposting as a refined form of masturbation, with the hopes some anonymous stranger will indulge us in a happy ending. It's not nearly as smart or intellectual. It is simply lacking in the ability to laugh at ourselves.

I think plenty of comedy doesn’t have to be cringe. In fact, I think the only truly funny part of comedy is its subtlety. Even physical and outrageous comedy have to find a subtle environment to be outrageous in, where they subvert your expectations (which can’t happen without an element of subtlety). These shows tho, are just cringe. They are taking advantage of how relatable they are to kids while alienating the age group most kids’ parents would be, thus forming a cultural cocoon for kids to experience, together, as a demographic. Thus the show “strikes a chord” and is remembered years later (despite no one really being able to recall a funny moment). Not to say these shows don’t stumble onto a funny moment or sketch in the process, but I think this explains their comedic rhythm in general. SNL would dip into the cringe now and then, so it’s nothing new, but the average adult swim show, or RU-vid channel, or modern sketch shows takes this lowest common denominator of relatability/meme-ability/viral-ability to an entirely new level.

@MonkeyspankO 2 года назад

The internet democratized comedy. Before things were not just niche, but siloed niche. Now we have access to everyone's comedy, which may seem weird. Atleast the cream usually rises.

@shadowspark 2 года назад

That’s actually really awesome. I used to not like traditional SNL or standup “comedy.” It was just… not engaging. All the “shock” stuff felt samey, gross nerds were just gross, dumb people were just dumb. Comedy is weird now, but it’s more exciting because it’s not confined to any set pattern.

@mindofjerry5476 2 года назад

100% are with that statement. We are able to see raw, unfiltered comedy and writers/comedians are encouraged to take risks because they don’t have to cater to the gate keepers who set the mold for the industry. Case in point that flight sketch was originally cut from snl when Tim Robinson initially pitched it.

The internet is the internet. Vine has morphed into Tik Tok, Redditors and 4Chan have migrated to RU-vid, Twitter, Howard Stearn, and Mancow. College Humor, the Onion, and the Daily Show have turned into Nightline, 60 Minutes, NPR, C-SPAN, and public access TV. Wisecrack turns into psycho historical pop culture critique. I opened up an art history book detailing pop art from the past 100 years. It came across pretty much as chaotic and headache inducing as RU-vid videos today. We're gearing back to the early days of zoetropes, vaudeville carnival acts, and View Masters, except now the View Masters are VR and AR, and the technology are more like contact lenses. People are what they've always been. What's changed is the technology, our sophistication, and our commonly held notions of what's fair. People are just shocked because now they're paying attention to what people are saying and demanding legal action. Which is messed up. If you're going to create content, choose a lane and stick with it, damn. Me, I went from not engaging at all to being super famous and influencing the fabric of society to being anonymous again. It's weird. Now I have to fight to procure basic stuff like laws against vandalization, privacy, honoring contracts, proper food labeling, etc.

The social, wait I had to smoke, the social myths of how we have to be and what we actually think are very different. I love the shows you pointed out, but why are they jarring and slightly annoying? It is to make a point that shit is messed up, that nothing is taken off the table. We are all a little weird, but watching an extremely weird thing it makes us feel more normal. Comedy is always a reflection of life, and the internet does that best, because it literally has everything. In my mind I wish more people were online, to learn and to laugh. The world isn't in our hands, we can't change that... But we can joke and poke holes in the way it works. Comedy is really the only free speech one has.

So you've told me why this comedy doesn't resonate with me. I only wish I could believe most people put this much thought into what they're watching. It's more likely people watch it because it "feels like" the other things they've been doing all day, without questioning any of it.

Comedy has become lazy. It's not about content or thinking of witty comparisons, it's about new takes on played-out Old memes. Or people being as absurd as possible merely for the sake of being weird. I remember it started around the time of Ren & Stimpy when I was younger. And I like some of the Absurd stuff. I know as we get older, we kind of scoff at new humor. But old humor is always funny. It Stands the test of time.. There was a period when we realized how absurd and funny some of the old shows were but now it is forced. Not natural

This video could not be more wrong when it starts to cover the origins of the online style of humor. Twitter and Tim and Eric had jack to do with any of it. SomethingAwful, Fat Chicks In Party Hats, Seanbaby, I-Mockery, Spatula-City, the Internet Wrestling Community and usenet newsgroups pioneered the sarcastic / absurdist / offensive nature of internet humor. The hack that made this video is clueless, and apparently thinks that the web was created in 2005.
