Which popular comedy shows do you just not find funny?

>>146925167
Pretty much every. Guess I just don't like japanese humor

All of them, my tastes require pretty high standards and there's nothing out there that can really make me laugh, certainly not nonsense from Japan.

Nozaki-kun

>>146925167
All of them except for nichibros

I don't even watch anime lel

Cromartie

>>146925167
literally everything, nips fucking suck at comedy

Seinfeld

>>146925167
Nichijou. Pretty much an embodiment to why Japs are stereotyped as unfunny slants

>>146926952
Nichijou is about the animation, dummy.

Except for Seto no Hanayome, of course,

Ones that rely on sex jokes

>>146925167
Gintama. Such low level humor, but I guess most people watch/ed it when they were teenagers so it works for them I guess.

>>146926952

It also sold like shit in Nip Land so really, no one found it funny.

>>146927061
Seitokai Yakuindomo is so boring. The awful visuals are big part of it tho.

One Punch Man.

It falls into the trap of becoming too much like the very generic bullshit it parodies, and the sad thing is One Punch Fans will defend it because it's satire that elevates their self-worth because it allows them to think they are intelligent for "getting" it.

This makes the fanbase much more voracious than normal in it's defence, because they have wrapped up their own ego in it. Like Asuka with her Eva piloting skills, to use an anime-alogy.

Lucky Star

I want to bang Konata hard though.

>>146927229
It's not even remotely close to satire. It's a lighthearted comedy/action series with ELEMENTS of parody that's defined only by its creativity, not by some lofty artistic goals you think it's trying to set. I know you're probably old or stupid since you still can't seem to differentiate the proper usage of its vs it's but stop trying to overanalyze everything. People like OPM because it has great animation/art, the side characters are interesting, and because the gags are pretty funny and fresh at the beginning.

>>146927229
That's a pretty autistic over-analysis for a comic some rice picker draws as a hobby.

Do I sound like you yet? There are kids and idiots who like OPM and there are older or smarter people who like OPM but look, NOBODY fucking thinks that. I can argue about other elements in the manga but what "depth" is there exactly in the plotline?

>>146927967
>>146928056
You are just as bad as the people who think the webcomic is trash because OMG LOOK AT THOSE DRAWINGS HAHAH!!!

The manga adding a pointless tournament arc was absolutely retarded but otherwise the anime and the manga are FAR from bad adaptations. If you really believe they are, then you need to experience more of your series being ruined, or just kill yourself.

>>146926952
The worst offender for me. The jokes were so unfunny it was almost making me angry.

Yeah I knew exactly how you'd respond. I guess you surpassed my expectations by adding a pointless reaction image.

How about you try actually reading and responding to >>146927883? Or would you prefer to maintain your delusion that OPM is some sort of pseudo-intellectual effort?

NGE was rather unfunny.

>>146928607
So what point are you making anyway, that the gags are unfunny or that it fails as a satire because it's too similar to what it's parodying? Make up your mind.

Okay cool, you didn't like the grocery gag, it didn't make me laugh either. Not everyone likes OPM for that reason nor is that what's being debated. It's your view that One Punch Man is popular because its premise is viewed as the most intellectual thing ever, which is completely idiotic.

Judging from your posts, your strange choice of vocabulary and your images, I think you're a pretty clueless person. Your points are all over the place. You can always rewatch Eva instead!

>You can't make multiple criticisms of a show

Not only is the show devoid of wit, drawn with an atrocious art style, but it also completely fails as a mockery. All at once.

If your goal is to mock the stupid scenes in Dragon Ball Z where they fight for a half hour, having scenes where they fight for a half hour identical to them is not the way to go.

At least in Dragon Ball Z fights, there's a chance the fight might end unexpectedly. Not so in in Mr. Punchman. Every episode has the exact same punchline. It's a tired gag before it even begins.

And you don't think I know I can rewatch Evangelion? I know it, I don't need you telling me. They are capable of comedy.

What comedy shows are actually popular though.

Nozaki-kun is the only series that has legitimately made me laugh. I don't even know what about it cracked me up but I smiled from ear to ear watching every episode.

Nichibros

Some of the gags where ok but it just seemed like they where relaying way to much on the whole manzai style of comedy and it became really grating instead of funny

Oddly enough I really enjoyed Nichijou even though it did the same thing much of the time

I thought Ouran High School Host Club was boring but maybe I'll give it another try today.

Also Space Dandy was meh. I feel bad because I mentioned it to people when it came out and they loved it and I was just like "yeah it sucks"

>>146929761
Dandy's so unique that I feel bad for not enjoying it more. It clearly had a lot of love put into it.

>>146929173
Gonna write a wall of text whether you care or not.

Again, OPM is not a satire and anybody who believes that it is is fooling themselves. The only true parody is Saitama, whose existence kills the potential for traditional battle shonen formulas. Other than that, the series generally revels in what some would call typical, such as power rankings and big baddies.

The series is beloved by many because it takes a fresh approach to everything it handles. Even if the premise has been seen before, ONE's style and the nature of a webcomic allow more free rein and creativity. The panel composition is some of the best I've seen, rivaling IMO that of Togashi who has one of the best in the business and decades of experience. And battles take on different meanings because Saitama's absurd strength leaves no room for ideological clashes. It doesn't matter who the opponent is or what they're fighting for. And if this gets old, there is a host of characters besides Saitama to interest the audience. I can go on, but my point is that there are other appeals.

By the way, fighting for half an hour is not long at all. In most battle shonen the main fights are expected to take an episode or two at the least. DBZ in particular was criticized for having not only battle sequences but the BUILDUP to them take several, sometimes tens of episodes. Not relevant here.

I've only encountered your view once before and that was on some YT video where people are paid to make long extrapolations on bullshit. Think what you want, but no one watches OPM and goes "wow this show really illustrates the faults of shonen fights, genius!" It takes elements FROM shonen and plays with them, but never shying away or rejecting them. I mean it's fucking published in WSJ, what more do you want? Also Eva is good but it isn't funny.

>>146927229
I watched one episode, and couldn't get into it. The "haha he killed him in one shot" gag gets old really quickly and there's no story to speak of. The only saving grace was the animation quality, but I can't watch an entire anime for the occasional cool fight scene.

Konosuba and Shigatsu wa kimi no uso (manga) are actually the only ones I laughed at.

The ones like nichijou, bobobo etc...nah, stupid humor is fine when it's clever made, not when you abuse the "random" factor

Nichijou and Nichibros come to mind.

>>146934767
I lasted a while, at least six episodes, so it had a fair chance. The concept is good, but they just execute it poorly, like the purge.

There's an episode where he can't kill a mosquito or whatever, and I thought to myself: Oh, he can't kill a bug, that's kind of funny.

But I don't laugh, I just stare stoically.

>>146934899
what did you find funny about konosuba?

>>146937272

I like almost all of them. Sucks to be you guys.

>>146925167
most

lucky star and nichijou in particular have gotten praise to no end but turned out to be terrible with shitty dry humor I doubt even a kid would think is funny

I guess humor just isn't japan's strong suit

Most comedy anime are pretty bad, not just the popular ones.

For the last couple years I've watched anime pretty much exclusively for comedy and, having seen well over 50 comedy series, I can say that about 8 of them were good, and like 3 were good enough to recommend to someone without a huge "by the way most of it fucking sucks" disclaimer.

>>146925167
Gintama, can't for the life of me understand what people find funny about this shit.
Generic lesbian jokes in seasonal kirara CGDCT adaptation have more chances to make me smile than any gag in Gintama, that shit is just retarded.

Japanese humor may not work for you because you don't understand Japanese, not because the humor is inherently bad.
Even if the translations somehow weren't as shit as they usually are you just can't convey some things with subs.

>>146941997
A fuckton of comedy anime (especially the most popular ones) are based on manzai and/or lolsorandumb types of humor without much wordplay though.
Series like Joshiraku and such are pretty much a category of their own.

>>146942370
I'm not even talking about wordplay, all that shit just became funny to me after I learned Japanese, it's hard to explain.
Yes, even manzai.

No Game No Life is pretty funny.
