@carnation_cat Жыл бұрын

Everyone is different...I didn't find him funny at all. Clever sometimes but nothing that tickles my funny bone. We can't help it! 😏 I have listened to a lot of dry bar specials and I've learned that if I don't laugh in the first 5 minutes, I won't laugh for the next 30 so I might as well skip it. Give your girlfriend a chance and have her find something she laughs at. You probably won't. 🙄

@@metooo-zo6dd It's easy to insult strangers on the Internet, but why would you say that? Everyone's sense of humor is a little different. If you don't know it yet, you must be very young. I have a friend who laughs her head off watching The Three Stooges. I don't find anything to laugh at. To me it's just men acting really dumb. But I can LOL at lines from Jane Austen that others don't find funny or don't understand. I like my humor extra dry. Whatever happened to "live and let live"? Can't we all be different but still okay? Sheesh.

I'm not a prude or easily offended at all but it's so refreshing to see a comedian telling jokes that don't just rely on racial humour/stereotypes/"edgy" shock value, "it's funny because I shouldn't be laughing" crap. Can be done well enough but rarely and it gets old fast.
