Main Dude Not Funny Discussion
Here are the deleted examples:
- Newgrounds.com has an entire collection for flash submissions that may evoke this trope, the name of the collection is "BASTARDS"
.
- "Despite how you react in public, you might let out a chuckle when you watch these movies. Congratulations! Deep down, you're a heartless bastard too!"
- In the So Bad Its Horrible film Gigli, one of the characters is called Dyke-o-saurus Rex.
- The movie Heathers had an in-universe example when Veronica's boyfriend J.D. cracks a joke at the funeral of two of their victims that they made look like a double-suicide and the little sister of one of the boys killed turns to look at them while crying. It's at that point, Veronica begins to realize how messed up she's becoming under J.D.'s influence.
- The Nostalgia Critic chastised Mako's voice in the 2007 film TMNT, saying it sounded "like he has lung cancer" (paraphrased), not knowing that he died sometime after recording Splinter's voice from oesophageal cancer.
- He also commented in his review of "IT" that the girl of the group was "easy to get into". If you've read the book (and didn't remove that memory with Brain Bleach), you won't find that funny.
- The entire review ended with him mimicking a scene in the film by killing himself in the bathtub, having written the word "Balloons" in his own blood. "Globophobia," or fear of Balloons is relatively rare, but, for some people, can lead to crippling panic attacks and persistent social stigma. Whether IT adequately conveys "globophobia", or even manages to exploit it is not discussed in the review.
- He also commented in his review of "IT" that the girl of the group was "easy to get into". If you've read the book (and didn't remove that memory with Brain Bleach), you won't find that funny.
- Glenn Beck mocked President Barack Obama's 11-year old daughter.
- A non-american is going to have to explain this, you might as well have laughed at Stephen Conroy for being intelligent.
- American society has traditionally seen African-American women with European features as more attractive than those with African features. What he really means by "she's ugly" is "she doesn't look white enough to be attractive". Keep in mind too that although cruelly belittling children for their superficial appearance seems to be acceptable behaviour in the UK (see the way you treat Princess Beatrice for a stomach-churning example), in North America it's considered the moral equivalent of belittling breast cancer patients for not having a perfect rack. No, maybe worse: adults belittling children for things out of their control is probably only one step up from baby rape.
- Haha, awesome. I didn't realise I considered belittling children for their superficial appearance acceptable behaviour, nor that I'd treated Princess Beatrice in any way at all. Keep your trenchant observations on this magical, universal U.K. culture where they belong, in your head.
- A non-american is going to have to explain this, you might as well have laughed at Stephen Conroy for being intelligent.
- In the Venture Bros., the Monarch accidentally brings cigarettes to King Gorilla's welcome home party.
- While The Nostalgia Chick does plenty of Rape As Comedy jokes which are funny and completely accepted as Crosses The Line Twice, her "Rapping About Rape" video was disliked by both fans and other contributors and it was pulled shortly afterwards.
- The extremely violent "No Pressure PSA by the 10:10 campaign. Appearantly the creators thought blowing up people (including children!) who were global warming skeptics was hilarious.
The image...are people just over-sensitive or something? Because that's not Dude Not Funny...
For some reason, the title reminds me of Data pushing Crusher into the ocean. Granted, that's not a full trope eliciting the response.
Couldn't we list examples where characters are offended by a joke in-story, like with Incredibly Lame Pun? That is not subjective.
Removed Take That. It seems to just be there to fulfill the wiki's desire for Arson Murder And Jaywalking.
At the top of this page, it says, "Please don't list this on a work's page as a trope. Examples can go here, on one of this page's subpages, or the work's YMMV tab." - Except there are no examples listed here, and this page has no subpages. Am I missing something?
I think this should be a punctuated title. Probably as "Dude, Not Funny" or something, just so it looks better.
I'm guessing we're going for No Real Life Examples Please here, right.
