I know I'm going to sound like an "old person" when I say that they don't make comedies like they used to.
I'm no prude, but I could totally do without the dirty comedies that perpetually drop the f-bomb. What happened to the just plain ol funny stuff??
There are a few newer guys, like Will Ferrell that crack me up - but gimme the 80's stuff!
I could watch Uncle Buck 100 times just to see John Candy go flying across the room when his girlfriend, Chanice, kicked the kitchen door open while he was eavesdropping!
Naked Gun? How funny was it to watch OJ Simpson stumble across the floor, step in a bear trap, burn his hand on the stove & fall out the window??
Tommy Boy? Fat guy in a little coat.
Don't even get me started on Chevy Chase's Vacation movies. His faces alone crack me up!
Yeah - I know it sounds mean and cruel to laugh at someone else getting hurt - but we KNOW that no one is actually getting hurt. This is why shows like the 3 Stooges were so popular. We watch a bunch of people falling, getting hurt & slapping each other around & we laugh like it's our job!
In a society where everyone is so sensitive, this kind of humor seems to have fallen by the wayside. No, no - let's not teach our children to pretend to slap each other around in silliness - instead, let's teach them the really bad swear words & show them how to use an automatic rifle. Yeah, that's better!
Stupid Humor! Totally dumb, nonsensical stuff that means nothing. Bring it on! I'm ready to laugh!
Have a fabulous day full of stupid humor!
Lots of love,
Jenn
