are purposefully deceiving fake threads funny?

[snowdogged]

I was told to make this thread from someone who shall remain anonymous, Right, LiX?

 

Anyhow, do you like it when someone claims to have some important news about Rush and it is just a news parody ?

[Maverick]

Yes. If it is done well, it can be funny.

It's OK when someone wants to throw one out there every now and then as a way to say "gotcha TRF!!!" but when some posters are doing it constantly it's not only annoying but very childish and it takes up too much room on the board. Humor is fine but when it's over done and not very funny to begin with, like all those posts are, it serves no purpose.

 

If I want a laugh i'll watch The Big Bang Theory like i'm doing right now

I agree. They need to be well done, and somewhat rare.

Funny is a subjective thing. What one person finds funny does not mean everyone will find funny. I crack jokes all the time and probably the majority of them are lame but I wouldn't come up with the good ones unless I said all the bad ones, also.

There are things that I sometimes find hilarious but no one else does. I don't care, I just accept that no one else finds it funny but I still do. I am not going to argue with someone and try to convince them that it is funny. Sometimes I find it very funny to purposely tell lame jokes.

 

Anyhow, the point that I am trying to make is that if a good percentage of people don't like a joke then it's probably not very good. The poll seems to be indicating that most of these threads are not funny.

While I accept your premises, I completely reject your conclusions.

So obviously in your mind, you are doing this forum a favor by posting this inane garbage.   People that find your threads/posts to be absolutely stupid does not mean they do not have a good sense of humor. That is one hell of a logical fallacy.... "I'm a great cook, I like my food, my family likes my food. Everyone else that tries my food hates it - so they must not have any taste."   Brilliant you are.

When you cannot talk about the topic at hand you try and slander the opposition. You failed on both fronts.

Just drop it LiX! It's time to accept that he is right. After all we only have 80% of the votes and they have a whole 20%. My math isn't the greatest but it's good enough to know that 20 is a much higher number than 80. We got killed 20 to 80!

[FountainOfSyrinx]

Hell no it's not funny. It truly sucks. 1-0-0-1-0-0-1 needs to put the ban hammer on these fiends.

[USB Connector]

It's fine when it's done every once and a while but when there are 3-4 joke threads on the first page of a subforum it's ridiculous. I don't mind when it's well done but the majority of joke threads are terrible.
