Sense of Humour

[Grandad]

This picture was posted on another forum with an invitation to give the picture a caption


These were the captions forthcoming:
1) Ooo ooo I can see the pub from here
2) Yea, we finally got that move down, The Flying Karamazov Brothers should be impressed.
3) Hopping Class 101... Up... down... up... down.
4) I must go, my people need me.
5) Whoopee! She said yes! More bunnies! Get down that burrow!
6) Now THIS is hip hop.
7) All seatbacks in the full, upright position. British Hareways flight 123 is approaching the runway.
8. What the heck did I do to make you THIS angry!

I would be interested to know what would be your choice of the best caption. I shall explain why I have posted this when you have all made your opinion known....

I like the second one Yea, we finally got that move down, The Flying Karamazov Brothers should be impressed.

I would have given it the caption: When Spring really puts a spring in your step

[Grandad]

I really couldn't understand that one LLL.

[Horus]

I can't understand any of them

@Grandad - the Flying Karamazov Brothers were acrobats soooo I took it that the rabbits were doing some sort of acrobatic move........yes? That is how I took it. Mostly I wasn't too terribly impressed with any of those answers.

To be honest my attention was drawn to the lower animal's back feet. I just had to enlarge the picture, to examine these tiny fur covered toes stretched to their fullest extent. Wonderful.

There are usually two such caption competitions on the other forum each month and most respondents are in the USA. The reason I posted this is because I can detect a different sense of humour between US and British contributors. There is never any double entendre in US humour and it usually seems bland to me and often I don't get the point.

Just something that occurred to me.

Must go! Thursday morning shopping and taxi has just arrived

@Grandad you're right.

Personally I do not like much humour that come from the USA. It is bland, often nasty and based on rude crude shouted at extremely high volume remarks that get a slight giggle (but more like when people are shocked or uncomfortable at the high level of rudeness however as this type of joke telling is so common this shock value is gone). There is rarely a play on words or anything terrible sophisticated about their humour.

There are a few American comedians I like with Jeff Foxworthy being one of them as he his humour comes from his observations of American life that he then exaggerates. He isn't mean or nasty either.

I also find African American humour to be so bad and profanity ridden I refuse to listen to or watch it.

British comedians are IMO the BEST!

I love Jeff Foxworthy some of his observations are brilliant, I also have an American friend who sounds just like him when he talks about Rednecks

[LovelyLadyLux]

Foxworthy's humour is geared to exaggerating all the flaws and foibles related to the Rednecks but it is also funny. He doesn't try to personally insult or drag them down or belittle. He takes a funny scenario and explains it in a funny way much like Red Skelton used to do and very UNLIKE a comedian like Don Rickles who was all about screaming, insulting, belittling, humiliating people. To this day I have no idea how Rickles ever gained the popularity that he had. I never saw him as funny in the least.

The Two Ronnies were my favourites.
