: 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.
so you think this is fresh or has novelty? banal works
i’m going to go write a haiku with some alphabet soup
#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.
😉
Twitter me right now
Now with details of your life
For mine is empty.
((and even worse, well rested.))
Boredom, my Dad Said
The product of a dull Mind
Hard to think thru it.
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.
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
Id rather eat my own lungs than watch a video of people discussing twitter.
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?
Ah crap===you can’t say Hi to Jack on a plane either. Go figure.
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.
Large, challenged by small
Can’t be seen, killing us all
Hubris negates Science.
Na, the limerick really is better.
#9 I’d rather eat your lungs as well.
#11, Mr. Bobbo, the Racing Mind,
But, you could show your good intentions and help Jack off a horse.
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.
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?)
If you’ve bedded the Hollywood beauties that Mickey has, twitter would mean nothing to you.
cu ltr
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!
How do I Twitter my Flickr photos?
