Charmed is funny. But more in a laugh-at sort of way.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Heh, I don't mind Friends actually. Although they did kind of run out of plot after about 4 episodes, becoming the magic roundabout of story lines.
It's airs on Channel 4 in the mornings and evenings each day. And on E4 during the evenings and early hours each day. And on T4 on Sundays. I remember Zach Braff visiting London during his Garden State promotional work, and saying how every other show appears to be Friends.
Having said that, Scrubs is fast catching up with Friends here - it's now averaging 6 episodes a week here across two networks.

A One that isn't cold, is scarcely A One at all.
A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend? This smacks of censorship to me, which is unwise at best on the innernets. In plainer english, allow us grownups to decide for ourselves what's funny, thanks. That came out much more polite than it was in my head, which I regret, but that's typing for you.
I make the statement full well knowing that I have no authority, no one ever listens to me and that more than likely somebody would try and prove me wrong possibly incurring more unfunny.
I saw an opportunity to air a pet peeve and went for it. So by all means decide for yourselves. No antagonism intended, just a friendly reminder.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You have a pet peeve about people not sharing your sense of humour? Isn't that a bit tiring?

So remember, kids: don't post incase it's found unfunny.
Oh shit, I did it again.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I laughed, Kevin.
Although, admittedly, it may have been the qualifier that did it. Curses!

You have a pet peeve about people not sharing your sense of humour?
Put that way it's kind of funny. Like the guy in Truffaut's Stolen Kisses who hires detectives to find out why he isn't well-liked.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'd just like to state for the record that I am fucking hilarious, and anyone who doesn't think so has no sense of humor.
I know, it's a bold statement. And yet, completely true.

If I only had a brain...
Though, I've driven past Tim's block many times and saw no signs of these Jiffy Lube mechanics with no Y chromosomes lined up with socket wrench in hand.
What a pleasing image. "Oh, sir, I admire your work so much -- may I check your windshield washer fluid?"

Betsy, being jealous never helps. Much.
