pic related is turbo-autism, not funny at all. Not creepy or anything, just plain dumb and unfunny.

Fuck me, that pic

>>6241877
I don't have a problem with funny books to a degree. But after a while it gets old. That was my problem with A Frolic of His Own by Gaddis. It's absolutely hilarious, but it's 800 pages of hilarity, and nothing else (although the play gets boring). I think there were only 2 or 3 moments in that book that gave me feels. I have the rest of his novels and get wait to get into them, but I really hope they're not the exact same thing.

Also that pic made me lol. Thanks OP.

>What's your opinion on "humorous" books /lit/?
I love everything Kafka wrote.

I found Crying of Lot 49 very funny.

>>6241877
I'd say you have some sort of personality disorder posting that comment. Either that, or you're just incredibly stupid. How could you ever think posting that on the internet would be a good idea?

>>6243326
The reason he did it was because there's a bunch of screencaps of similar situations where random black people describe someone else's baby in funny black vernacular. But that's the thing, they always do it to random people, never someone they personally know otherwise shit like OP's pic happens

>>6243326
are you talking about OP's pic? Looks like it's from /r9k/

>>6243326
It's from /r9k/

>>6243336
ah I see. Still seems to be in bad taste and a poor imitation of the vernacular.

>>6243391
Yeah I hated that chapter of Infinite Jest too

>>6241877
>trying to mimic black twitter culture
>can't into modern ebonics and slang

fucking cringe OP

>>6243426
Black internet 'culture' makes me cringe on its own.

>>6243446
you're just jealous that they are successful in using it to get laid

>>6243446
Why, It's funny.

>>6243446
i think some of it is actually hilarious

>>6243490
No, I don't think it is funny and it makes them seem even stupider. Besides, anon, I'm not American.

>>6243507

no wonder you don't get it
African American culture is a distinct phenomenon

I just don't see how it is in amy way funny. But Americans will laugh at anything.

>>6243517
I'm not American, you prick.

>>6243527

get rekt scrub

>>6243525
Then stop acting like one. How is a combination of 'bitch', 'ass', or 'nigger', coupled with a poor grasp of the English language, funny? I could only imagine hearing it in real life, with those annoying accents.

Why is anything funny? Silly reactions to silly situations are amusing.

Not that guy, btw.

>>6243575
>silly things are funny

>>6243587
>silly things aren't funny

>>6243538
wow I think you legitimately might be underaged

>>6243606
Why is that? Because I don't find buffoons funny?

>>6243587
You're a retard.

>>6243617
You're an Amerifat.

OP here. I obviously regret posting that pic, but can anybody reply to my original question?

Thanks

>>6243446
You have no sense of humour

>>6243612
>on 4chan

>doesn't find buffoonery funny

>calls people buffoons in 2015

What do you find funny anon?

Do you look like this by chance?

You'll fit in better there, kid.

>>6243637
I'm not though. I already told you that, retard.

>>6243670
Then you're just an idiot laughing at other idiots. And here I was thinking /lit/ at least tried to be intelligent.

>>6243651
>another inane comment

You're the worst type of person.

Ratchet Zone humor is funny sometimes but just plain stupid in general.

>>6243709
I'm not the kind of person who likes Afro-American 'humour'.

>>6241877

I think humour and comedy are the highest forms of art. It makes you feel good (which is the best way to feel), and it's purely a product of intelligence. I have much more respect for a writer who's going to try and make you laugh rather than sell you some second hand emotions or pummel you with some half baked sermon.

That said, humour alone isn't enough to carry a story.
