I laugh pretty much every single time I hear it
I think the reason I don't find it funny is that it's the embodiment of frustration borne out of shitty communication skills.
I know, I know. But there are whole areas of existence that are humor blind spots for me because I'm such an annoying pedant.
To prove that I do have a sense of humor, here is my list of Things That Never Stop Being Funny:
* Dick Cheney SHOT A GUY. In the face!
* "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball." (To be fair, the funny part is the dude getting clocked in the head with the wrench 2 seconds later.)
* The Nextel commercial with the guys dancing to "Push It". (Hint: for best viewing quality, let the whole thing load first and then play it.) I can watch it on an endless loop, and it's funny every. single. time.
The Animaniacs routine used band names also.
That Nextel commercial is hysterical.
The thing about Who's On First? You've not only heard of it, you've *heard* it. Fifty-something man who is unaware of its existence? Come on.
Whenever I see Jeffrey Skilling's name, I marvel at the thought that this man is the brother of my favorite weatherman (oops, sorry--meteorologist!), who just oozes intelligence, integrity, and believability, in stark contrast to his slimy corporate weasel brother.

That one does make me smile every single time I see it. I think it's the guy sitting there with the boom box on his lap and bopping his head that seals the deal for me with that one.

And they're just so *committed* to their horrible dancing, you know?
I swear, I may start watching
Studio 60.
The more I hear about it, the more intrigued I am. You know how it's interesting to look at that series of cat paintings by a schizophrenic? It seems like that. Not all that pleasing aesthetically, but fascinating from a psychological standpoint. I was just reading this Websnark piece about it.
he's writing Studio Sorkin on the Aaron Sorkin Strip Starring People Portraying Aaron Sorkin's Life
I was aware of some of the elements Sorkin was pulling from his life, but I didn't realize how extensive it was. He's fantastically crazy.
You know what never stops being funny to me? I mean, every time I see it, I think, "No, can't be that funny," and every time, it's funnier?
That scene in Harold and Kumar where they sing Hold On.
I'm cracking up just thinking about it.
"If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball." (To be fair, the funny part is the dude getting clocked in the head with the wrench 2 seconds later.)
Also still funny.
Hmm, I hadn't watched S60 yet but the wf is making me want to, if only so I can read the wf.
It's raining and my hair looks awful. If there were any justice in the world, someone would deliver firelogs to my door because I desperately want a fire but I can't go out looking like this.
