With 1 being Jay Leno and 10 being The Jerky Boys, and five being somehwere in Carrot Top/Gallagher territory.

1. I really don't understand why people like that show

I think it's completely unfunny!

[Fenris]

2. Seven, but I'm being very kind

I think I've laughed once.

3. No really, which end is up in this poll?

I don't think that Jay Leno, Carrot Top or Gallagher are funny. I don't know what the Jerky Boys are.

4. Gallagher was funny in his time, Jerky Boys had me rolling

when they first came out so...

6. I actually find *some* of it to be funny

but then, I also find South Park and Beavis and Butthead to be very funny at times.

My sense of humor runs the gamut from completely juvenille to obscure and esoteric.

On my own personal scale of humor, I give it about a 3 or 4. Hit-and-miss.

7. Not at all funny, just mean.

8. I don't have a problem with the meanness, it's the stupidity and lack of

comedy.

9. I'm guessing from what I've seen of

Crank Yankers, that they put puppets to soundtracks of crank phone calls. Real crank phone calls. It certainly wouldn't be funny at all if these were scripted actors. And it isn't funny except occasionally as a real crank call. In fact it's mostly sick and humiliating to the innocent victim, which isn't funny to me.

10. i haven't seen that for ages

My sister almost dated a guy who wrote for that show. She was scared to give him her phone number :evilgrin:

11. IT IS UNBELIEVABLY F***ING ANNOYING

and not the LEAST bit funny. Just suffering through the last couple minutes to get to Jon Stewart makes me want to pull my hair out. x(

12. The Jerky Boys

are wickedly funny. I was skeptical...but a guy I work with brought in some tapes a few years ago. Hysterical.
