In Soviet Russia, the Pokemon chooses you. [1102111051]
I don't know if this is just me, but I've been noticing more and more how ridiculous our humour is becoming, and I notice it even more when I'm not sober. I just think it's incredible how our thoughts and ways of looking at things are manipulated so easily by what we watch, especially when more than half of it is really irrelevant to our daily lives. Just look at any show by Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, American Dad, Cleveland Show, etc.) with all its random celebrity jokes (most of whom the younger generation doesn't even know) and the way that once we hear these jokes, our own perspective on these celbrities could be drastically changed, especially if we know little to nothing about that person to begin with. For example, if we watched Stewie talk about a certain well-known but anonymous comedian (*coughdimitrimartincough*) and he made a joke about how unfunny he is, saying something like, "Oh, he's dryer than a 10-year-old bag of onions sitting open on a scyscraper in Arizona..." (wait, are there skyscrapers in Arizona? Perhaps that was a bad example...) some of us, even those who at first really enjoyed that particular comedian would stop and consider the quality of his jokes for a while. And even if our opinions on him were not altered, everyone else who heard that same joke that didn't know him before would still think of him from then on as "Oh yeah, that's the dry onions guy" and would be less likely to be interested in ever seeing his shows. Is this a flaw in human nature that should be improved? Or just something that should be accepted as part of human psychology? Or maybe I'm overanalyzing things because I haven't had enough CRACKCRUMBS! Here's a kitten.
