this will probably get ignored, but growing up I never saw the point in irony, sarcasm, satire, or subtlety. parody was an exception, because I liked Weird Al growing up but I never found any work, in any medium, that smacked of irony, sarcasm, satire or subtlety to be comedic in any manner of form, not sure what was wrong with me but its probably why things like slacker humor, movies like The Big Lebowski, or the mannerisms of most modern women struck me as unfunny, grotesque displays of ingratitude rather than a form of serious comedic relief. I remember in 9th or 10th grade instead of writing a book report about Johnathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" I wrote a 20 page screed on why satire wasn't funny and failed the assignment. its probably why Immanuel Kant's ethical system seemed so logical to me, considering I started with him and not the Greeks with philosophy. I've grown up since then but what the hell was wrong with me?
