I just read this on a forum, the guy is talking about a part of south London, the Elephant and Castle, E&C, its hysterical:
"Come on big Jim, its so rough down there that the Elephant and Castle has twinned with Damascus. I heard community policing down there is done via a helicopter and a bungee rope!!!!!! Even the police dogs need counselling.
I was in a rare pub down there years ago and an American tourist commented on the quaintness of 'Ye Olde English ' look with all the saw dust spread everywhere. "Quaintness" said the landlord , that's what's left of the furniture after a punch up last night.
Any straying tourist (like Kevin Spacey did one night)would get the impression dogs grow on trees in Burgess Park but it's pit bull terriers going through jaw strengthening routines hanging off branches by their teeth !!!!!
Again it's so rough there that 'Mothercare' in the shopping centre had to hire 'bouncers'.
Putin has a video of him walking down the Old Kent Road to the Heygate late at night on his own. But everyone knew is was faked as he aint that tough. "
Brilliant, utter genius!

I love the bit from QI (I think, might have been "Mock the Week) when they were discussing towns official catchphrases:
"Tower Hamlets: Lets..."
"Get Out Alive"?

I have one; I just cannot see anything remotely funny in those statements. And yes I do know where Elephant & Castle is, my son used to live there.

Reality tends to leach the funny out of some humor, poking fun at somewhere from the outside is only humorous to those on the outside.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

It's nothing to do with the place, I just did not find anything remotely funny in any of those statements. But it seems my not being amused by this post is considered sacrilege by some.

How about Red Dwarf, Bottom, do you find those funny?
Any one of those lines would generate a laugh in either of those programs.
For example, when Red Dwarf goes to red alert, Kryton says, 'are you sure sir? It does mean changing the light bulb'.
I find Red Dwarf and Bottom funny. And so do many other millions of people.

And your point is what, that anyone who does not agree with you is somehow not allowed to express their opinion? Man up and get over it.

You really are that deluded you actually think that?
Why don't you answer the question, that was the point.

No I'm not deluded at all, I am just questioning your rationale for continually attacking me because I don't find the same things funny that you do. And also you telling me to STFU about it.

What question?

I am not attacking you, just asking you whether you find Red Dwarf and Bottom funny, and I also didn't tell you to STFU, that's another delusion of yours.

So what do you find funny, since the idea of twinning E&C with Damascus isn't?

I find lots of things funny, I just don't see anything remotely amusing, let alone hysterical, in the idea of "twinning E&C with Damascus".
I'm sorry that my opinion differs from yours, but you seem to be taking this as a personal insult.

You are just being a miserable kill joy to those who do find it funny.
If you don't have anything positive to say then how about keeping it to yourself?

Sorry, I didn't realise the Lounge was open only to people who agree with your opinion.

Ah, let me look that one up... Ah yes, stock come back no. 247.
Keeping ones opinion to oneself is often good manners, not restriction of freedom of speech you know.

So that applies to me but not to you?

Where have I lurched into one of your threads with a negative comment?

Quite, I didn't tell you to STFU, I just said to keep your miserable kill joy opinion to your self.

Exactly my point, and how is this a "miserable kill joy opinion"? All I did was question whether some "jokes" were actually funny, with the result that you started a flame war against me. I suggest you grow a thicker skin and accept that not everyone in the world finds the same things funny, or shares your opinion.
