I've been thinking after posting something that I found really funny on the funny images thread that quite a few others didn't think it was funny at all, one person even seemed offended that I posted it and commented "FAIL" - which I actually found funny.
Comedy is a very subjective thing and I thought to myself that I bet the person who wrote that would find Dave Hughes funny.
I find that comedians that use everyday situations in their acts crack me up the most! Robin Williams, Billy Connelly, Carl Barron, Jimeon...etc. but you're right...it's a personal preference thing. My missus can't stand 'silly' humour like - Southpark/American Dad/Family Guy/Little Britian/Flight of the Concords...or even one of my favs - Black Books!!!
I find most things funny...your vid didn't crack me up, I didn't red thumb you, but it is a "funny images" thread, so I guess that's where most came from.
Dave Hughes is Handy was on the tv after the comedy festival the other night.
Short answer, no.
When looking for a laugh he seems to just talk louder, whine, or say ****. I understand what he's driving at but he never seems able to follow through with a punch line.
PS I didn't get the humour of a video of a fat black guy with a cup. Nothing happened.
PPS. Yes to most of the other "star" comedians working in Melbourne, Flight of the Conchords, Tom Gleeson, the Umbilical Brothers, Tripod etc etc

Nothing was supposed to happen. It's a "living portrait" - an image in film, an arty thing a bit like performance art but even dumber. So I think it qualified as an image - but just not a funny image.
Went to one of his shows ages ago. He had some really funny moments but copped a heap of sh1t from the crowd who he ended up telling them to F up and "pretend your dead and in a library"
Badoom chsshhh!
