Do you know what hurts someone as narcissistic as I? People thinking they are smarter than me. You want to know what hurts me even more? Stupid people who think they are smarter than me. Why do I bring this up, you might ask? Well, as of recent I have seen a few examples of incredibly poor comedy being used by idiots, with the aim of proving themselves above me. Tomorrow, someone is probably going to be on crutches because I have snapped a ligament in their knee for making a shit joke and then feeling clever. 

Now, you might wonder to yourself; why is this guy showing up on a psycho forum bitching about stupid people? Isn't that like screaming at a rock at best and preaching to the choir at worst (you know, cause the rock won't think you're crazy)? And while at first I may consider that partially true, that is, until I remind myself of all the shitheads on here who could use a wakeup call. 

So then, scientifically speaking, entertainment is when you're brain can follow a train of logic. Comedy occurs, however, when two or more of these strands contradict each other. Take for example, a man fucking a tuna. You can see how a man could do that, the specifics of the fish just paint a vivid picture with expending precious words, time being the currency jokes trade in. So there we have our first strand of logic. Now then, to me at least, a tuna is not a desirable fuck buddy for a multitude of reasons, therefore, the chances of anyone I know fucking one are drastically low. That is the second strand of logic. The combination of these two strands contradict and therefore we laugh (don't ask about the science behind that). Yet that alone is not enough. Comedy also, as my signature would suggest, requires a certain level of detachment from the situation. In real life, if say; you saw your dad fuck a tuna, it wouldn't be funny in the least (assuming a neurologically stable human), it may be anywhere between creepy and downright traumatic.

So then, with that established, let's roast up my pet peeve of the week; this joke:

TwattyCake: I think cats cough up hair balls.
Me: well done. You should die.
TwattyCake: you're just jealous because you didn't know that.
Me: I most certainly did, that's why I called you an idiot.
TwattyCake: no you didn't, you said I should die.
Me: are you too thick to register inference?
TwattyCake: don't get so angry I was just joking with you. Haha.
Me: oh, so you're an idiot AND a bellend.

Let's deconstruct this:
1) too long, time is precious, you squandered it.
2) you're joke hinges on your assumption that the person is mad because they thought you're persona was an idiot. That is logic strand number one. 
3) you're second logic strand relies on the fact that you are not as idiotic as you initially appeared and what is more, being an angry person has to be considered a bad thing. 
(notice all the conditionals, these just cut away those who can bring themselves to laugh)
4) you have made a personal front on the subject, therefore they sure as hell ain't laughing because now there is no detachment. Speaking of which. Anyone else who values that person will now fail to reach detachment.

So then; what does this leave you with? 
Well, you have a fairly basic joke (lol, I isn't as dumb as you think) combined with another basic joke (lol, angry people are funny because people shouldn't be angry). And while that might be a half decent joke if you could pull it off in a few seconds while keeping everyone detached, you just really, really, haven't. 

Moral of the story: stop this shit.
