Man, can you get any more banal than this? Well, at least it’s not Ernest Borgnine talking about making himself happy each day.




  1. bobbo, is it says:

    * ba·nal
    * Pronunciation: \bə-ˈnal, ba-, -ˈnäl; bā-ˈnal; ˈbā-nəl\
    * Function: adjective
    * Etymology: French, from Middle French, of compulsory feudal service, possessed in common, commonplace, from ban
    * Date: 1825

    : lacking originality, freshness, or novelty

    Well, its the first time I have ever heard a hip happening comedian explain in depth the communication revolution that is twitter embodies. Funny??–No. But not Banal.

  2. travis_ says:

    so you think this is fresh or has novelty? banal works

    i’m going to go write a haiku with some alphabet soup

  3. bobbo, everything is definitional says:

    #2–travis==well, what else is something you have never seen before? Saying that, I wouldn’t be surprised if Stiller did the same thing explaining how to set the timer on a vcr to some old guy. Maybe he has a whole series of shtick explaining the common place to old people.

    IF you agree its not funny, then I’ll say it could be banal as well but such comedy is appreciated by many. Seinfeld. Usually has to have a twist of some sort. Did I miss the twist.

    “C’mon baby, let’s do the twist!” Was that banal?

    Mr. Bobbo, the man in the details,

    Ah, another fine catch sir.

    😉

  5. bobbo, god I'm bored says:

    Twitter me right now
    Now with details of your life
    For mine is empty.

    ((and even worse, well rested.))

  6. bobbo, god I'm bored says:

    Boredom, my Dad Said
    The product of a dull Mind
    Hard to think thru it.

  7. bobbo, god I'm bored says:

    I think limericks are harder
    Not meant for the retarded
    More difficult rhyming scheme
    Structure more difficult to deem
    See? Can’t figure the last line.

  8. shinohara says:

    Mickey Rooney is like my dad
    Giving life lessons I already had
    Ironic isn’t it
    with condescending wit
    Professing “No one knows everything”
    in a manner implying “I know everything”

    —-
    Why can’t I say “bomb” on an airplane? Bom-bom-bom, bom-bom-ba-bom
    My dad was a bombardier

  9. Hugh Ripper says:

    Id rather eat my own lungs than watch a video of people discussing twitter.

  10. bobbo, god I'm bored says:

    Are YOU then like Ben Stiller
    Providing us all with Filler
    Have you no respect for your Dad
    Or just wanting to make him Mad
    With a closing line that is just a killer?

  11. bobbo, god I'm bored says:

    Ah crap===you can’t say Hi to Jack on a plane either. Go figure.

  12. bobbo, god I'm bored says:

    Poor old Hugh Ripper
    Not a fan of the Gipper
    Funny lines regarding twitter
    Had to relieve myself on the shitter
    Almost as fun as the Big Dipper.

    I feel my inspiration waning, maybe time to go check out Emerging Infectious Diseases.

    We are all gonna die
    And I wanna know why
    Many will be from lack of vaccination
    Too late to save from vacillation
    I won’t cry.

    Silly Hoomans.

  13. bobbo, god I'm bored says:

    Large, challenged by small
    Can’t be seen, killing us all
    Hubris negates Science.

    Na, the limerick really is better.

  14. zybch says:

    #9 I’d rather eat your lungs as well.

  15. Mr. Fusion says:

    #11, Mr. Bobbo, the Racing Mind,

    But, you could show your good intentions and help Jack off a horse.

  16. bobbo, not tickled by a compliment says:

    What good intentions? Got a link?

    Airport Security. Does make me reconsider any public option in healthcare. Thats how screwed up our for profit capitalism is.

    30 Million Tweeters, and not a single thing to say. Hah, hah.

  17. Robart says:

    There once was an actor named Mickey
    who thought Twitter was tricky
    He decided it was phat
    but then called Ben “Matt”
    His next internet lesson is the Wiki

    (Was it just me or did he call Ben “Matt” at the end?)

  18. RTaylor says:

    If you’ve bedded the Hollywood beauties that Mickey has, twitter would mean nothing to you.

  19. Faxon says:

    cu ltr

  20. chuck says:

    Which is more banal? Twitter? Or Ben Stiller trying to explain Twitter?

    Q; What’s the difference between posting on Twitter and writing something on a Post-it and flushing it down the toilet?

    A: There’s a better chance of someone reading the Post-it.

    Twitter is stupid….. and THAT`S IT!
