The Contest - A question

Shiosai

Ok, most people have seen this classic episode of Seinfeld and know exactly what I'm talking about. For the people who don't know, there's even a wiki article on it.

So I seem to recall this forum (I can't remember if it was SE++ or D&D) had this contest though the search feature has failed me and perhaps the thread was pruned or my variables suck.

At any rate, I was planning on creating this contest with some friends of mine, but we noticed the episode is unclear on how sex factors in. Does an active sex life disqualify you from the contest, or does sex != masturbation and hence fit into a different realm entirely.

For this question, I decided I must consult the denizens of SE++

It was D&D, and their rule said any sort of sexual activity like that meant you lost.

A) bad thread.


Every retard knows it is absolutely no sexual gratification of any kind, be it involving another person, or doing it yourself.

Because, and here's the thing, people's sense of humor is a lot like their sense of taste.


Different things make different people laugh.

Hold it! I would like you to consider that an active sex life might put one at a disadvantage in a masturbation contest.

Are you going to fault him for telling jokes ten years ago that you don't find funny today?

Seinfeld was a funny show
It's one of those things that now people will be like, oh man fuck that show wasn't even funny, yet when it was on the air you chuckled away. But the jokes are old to you now, so you think it lacks the funny.

I was watching a Friends rerun yesterday and damnit, that was some funny shit, even if I've already seen it.

So in conclusion
that would be an easy contest here since none of you faggots are getting any anyway

Huh? I didn't find them funny ten years ago, either. I admit the show had its quirks. I really enjoyed Jason Alexander on it. But c'mon. I read Jerry's stand-up one-liners book and it's the goddamn dumbest piece of shit "comedy" I've ever had the unfortunate displeasure to scan with my eyes.

but damnit Defender why don't my dvds of old shows update themselves with contemporary information. I can't stand these jokes they made years ago. I can't even stand reruns, I mean I already saw it once why do I need to watch it again. And on that notidfhigapharfhghdohfashdiaoj

Friends was wildly uneven and had a lot of mushy bullshit padding the funny.

yeah, not nearly as funny as Blue Collar TV, huh

Drez

I never liked Curb Your Enthusiasm too much either, so maybe it's just me. Isn't the guy that did CYE the main writer for Seinfeld too? Or they're just similar or something. I dunno. Same kind of nonsense.

The problem with Seinfeld is that it has some classic moments which are just top-notch, I agree. None of them, though, involve Jerry himself. He's a big, dumb retard. Most of the funny for me involved Elaine and George.

[Tycho?]

I started one of these in SE a while ago, I think I was one of the first people out. Pro-tip: dont look at porn while doing this contest. It can seem like a good idea at the time, but its really not.

My suggestion is to watch things which are of merit and are more or less timeless.

One of my favorite things about the Super Mario setting is that it's totally timeless; it's not sci-fi, it's not medieval, it's not modern, it really doesn't attach itself to any time period. I am referring to the Mushroom Kingdom, of course, not to the "Mario is a plumber in Brooklyn" part.

NERD ALERT

Drez

Friends was funny for a few years. Then it went to shit.

Also, I never liked Simpsons. Except the Halloween episodes. Everything else past season three (like, the last seventeen years or so) is crap.

Also, I never liked Garfield.

Also, Peanuts is kind of lame.

oh my god drez



do you hate peanut butter sandwiches and air too?

"The contest" was not a masturbation contest. It was a "no sexual gratification" contest.

Yeah, it's Larry David, and he was on Seinfeld. He sometimes wears his Seinfeld jacket on CYE.

I'm not sure if Defender is disagreeing with wombat, me, or both of us simultaneously.

What you are basically saying is that you don't like mashed potatoes.


Well, dude, some people like mashed potatoes.

Yeah I wasn't a big fan of Jerry Seinfeld all that much myself. Mostly I liked the eccentric third party characters.

Curb Your Enthusiasm is fucking horrible. People are all like, "Oh it's so funny because it's cringe humor." But it doesn't even make me cringe, it just makes me think, "Hey, Larry David's pretty unfunny."

Pretty much everyone on the show except for Jerry was one of those people.

I don't like jelly, so PB&J sandwiches are for the birds (not literally, I wouldn't feed that shit to birds), but straight up peanut butter is fine.

I think human reliance on air is something I wish we could distance ourselves from. I dislike our reliance on this colorless bullshit.

No it wasn't. If you watched the episode or read the wiki link you would know this.

Also, what did you guys do for prizes? I mean what's a good enough thing to win that's worth trying in this contest, but isn't too god dammed expensive?

Jerry is not mashed potatoes. He's more like, I dunno, brussel sprouts.
