The head dev is a dumbass, and too much monkeycheese "humor".

Because Reelism understands the core component of its fun isn't from trying to make people laugh, but because of what the player does.

Take this picture, Stupid LMS's winner and loser pic. It pretty much instantly defines Stupid LMS's type of humor, which is to slam stupid bullshit in people's faces because it's "funnay". There's no polish, there's no quality to speak of, it's just someone screaming out "JAJAJAJAJA" because he thinks it's funny.

Reelism is more subtle about its humor. It understands that humor doesn't come from blaring "PROTIP: The cockodemon just raped you while you were reading this protip", there's a specific structure to a joke--there's a build up and then a subversion of expectations.
Likewise, most of its gameplay isn't around throwing a player in a room and telling them the rules--in Reelism, the player has rules thrown at him, and he has to do his own shit in order to work around them.

Stupid LMS/Icon of Party has a lot of potential, but the sheer amount of bullshit bloats it down.
