you guys told me "Arrested Development" was awesome

watmm... what the fuck?

i just watched the first 5 episodes... is there something wrong with me? or this maybe even isn't supposed to be funny? i got TWO lols in those 5 episodes. TWO. and don't ask me what they were, cause i forgot.

watmm, please explain.

you're retarded? i dunno...

are you paying attention at all?

Not funny? NOT FUNNY, what are you talking about? That programme is hilarious, maybe you just happen to catch the five shittest episodes.

actually i know how you feel cos i watched pineapple express on a watmm recommendation and it sucked.

your brain is borken.

hey not everyone can find the same things amusing. personally everytime david cross is on screen this show is gold.

i really didn't mean to offend anybody...

i guess it's just not my type of humor. and not my girlfriend's type either. she got zero lols, then fell asleep during the ep05.

it got me thinking. the comedy i'm really enjoying at the moment is "trailer park boys". but i guess it's really completely different type of comedy. is there anybody out there that think both are good comedy?

RETURN FROM WHENCE YOU CAME

Yes, these are two of my favorite comedy series, for reals. But they are completely different types of humor.

In my opinion you should stick with AD, it took a while to grow on me and I liked the second season better than the first. However, if you've only gotten two laughs out of five episodes, maybe it's just not for you.

hmm. i know it's really inappropriate to discuss such things, but could someone try to explain what they find funny in arrested development? like, what kind of situations/gags... maybe i'm just missing it?

i can think of 2 LOLs in the first 5 minutes or so of the first episode and ive watched it once

the maybe/Maeby cheap gag

when Jason asks George-Michael what the most important thing is, and he says breakfast - their awkward father/son relationship is amusing

Pretty much anything GOB says or does.

"Look at banner Michael!"

it's only MY FAVORITE TV SHOW OF ALL TIME!

they are totally different but i love both.

also, on AD, the mother is hilarious. and a lot of what she says is mumbled/subtle so you have to pay attention.

I think I just blue myself.

wow...

actually... i was hoping that some things other than the "obvious" ones were supposed to be funny. too bad.

again, i don't wanna insult anybody, but i get more lols out of gilmore girls.

or maybe i just shouldn't watch these when i have the flu.

This just makes me want to puke all over your head, sir.

I think a lot of the humor comes from understanding the characters, their personalities and exploits. Once you have a feel for each character's role, the show becomes a juggernaut. It took me about five episodes too. (but i loled WAY more than 2 times)

Take some time with it. Give it a chance to tell the bard's tale.

you watch gilmore girls

I like both.

no, i most definitely do not. i just happened to catch the last few minutes of an episode today. i thought it was really really really bad, especially the humor.

i do watch desperate housewives though :)

guys, please don't get personal. it's about a tv series. i love you all. i'm just saying i didn't like arrested development.

CAUSE IT'S CRAP!

Fair do's and desperate housewives if like MILF village, I watch that too.

Try watching it when you haven't got the flu, it's hard to laugh when you have flu.

maybe i will. i still can't believe there isn't a single watmmer that dislikes arrested development.

I found it entertaining if not side-splitting *shrug*

Pineapple express was meh.

Arrested Development is pure win and has an astounding amount of replay value.

Stick with it.

C'MON!!

pinapple express was fucking shocking.
