Guest analogue wings Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 The "warning" at the start of the Wonder Showzen clip pretty much hands the argument to me, sorry.

AMERICANS LOVE TO EXPLAIN THE JOKE TO YOU AND THAT MAKES IT WAY LESS FUNNY Please... It's so obvious that was a decision by the network. It has to do with the fact that the show aired on MTV (after the deal with another channel fell through), a channel primarily watched by children and young teens, and the executives probably thought people were too stupid to tell the difference between a real kids show and a parody. They did the same thing for the South Park film. By the way, I'd say a good 40% of the humor in Look Around You is based around being amused by remembering stuff from your childhood.

jeremymacgregor87 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I always thought "qft" meant "quite fucking true" ! Also, I never really liked Frisky Dingo, seems to be a constant series of: * dialogue * paaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuusssseee * dialogue love Wonder Showzen though, a show with enough ideas to not rely on the aforementioned formula Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide jeremymacgregor87's signature Hide all signatures profundity Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/48384-frisky-dingo/page/2/#findComment-1108932 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest theSun Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) it's nice when there's a good joke before the pause and then all the characters look at each other blankly. problem is adult swim can't write that many good jokes Edited August 25, 2009 by theSun Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/48384-frisky-dingo/page/2/#findComment-1108980 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandi_B Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I love this show so much. The humor is just so damn perfect. It's similar but has that same Sealab weirdness vibe, I'm glad the sealab ppl decided to do this show :) Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/48384-frisky-dingo/page/2/#findComment-1108988 Share on other sites More sharing options...
