: No, BASEketball and Airplane! are both Nonsense Humour. So are The Naked
Gun, Kids In The Hall: Brain Candy, Monty Python (any), Young Frankenstein,
etc. Your examples are not nonsense humour, they're random humor. At
first glance, these two appear to be the same, but with one major
difference: Nonsense humor can be watched more than once without boring
you to the point of whacking your skull in with a mallet.
No, BASEketball and Airplane! are "screw-ball comedies", not nonsense
humor. I agree w/ the Brain Candy and Holy Grail statements, though. And, I
have formerly stated that watching DWMC more than once would be a mistake.
But, I didn't say it was the greatest comedy of all time. I said it was
funny...
: No, this is either a completely random moment, or they learned magic that
night. Also, the entire premise of the film is the stff that shitty films
are made of.
It WAS completely random. It happened for no reason. That's why I found it
so hilarious.
: It is, because THAT example is a rip-off of the, oh, let's say EIGHTY
times that this has been shown before in other movies and TV shows.
No, acually, I think you took it wrong. The fact that it landed on his face
was no mistake. He appeared to do it on purpose and then stood there
deliberately for a good 3 seconds after it happened. I suppose it's just
something you have to see...
: Explain the reasoning of the Spam sketch from Monty Python. Two people
fly in o a store, everything on the menu includes spam, vikings are sitting
at the table, and they eventually start to sing. The differences between
that and Dude, Where's My Car? are that Monty Python is funny, Monty Python
has good writing, and Monty Python doesn't star that guy from That 70s
Show.
Dude, I love Monty Python, and I'm not disagreeing w/ you. The Viking thing
is great. And, although you may criticize me to an even fuller extent, I
happen to like That 70's Show. Oh! I just thought of a Kevin Smith nonsense
humor statement: On the Mallrats commentary, Kevin states that at the end
they were going to have Gwen tap-dancing for no reason. Now THAT would have
been funny!...
