Hey guys, why English jokes are so much fuckawesome then Japanese jokes?

I want to say because they don't rely on wordplay as much, but then they use randomness and absurdity as a crutch and it all falls down from there.

Plus there's the fact that when you don't get a japanese joke, you can blame a clunky translation or cultural differences, while in english all of the bad comedy comes through crystal clear.

Overall, I think we judge more harshly the western attempts at comedy, while dismissing the bad foreign ones as "I don't get it"

You guys can't be serious?
