'Charleston Chew'
'Nutley'
'Manwich'

You can kind of tell these jokes kill in the writing room.
I guess on some level I enjoy how frustratingly unfunny they are, but that aside I find them frustratingly unfunny.

I'm finding this whole episode tedious. It's badly written and relies on a LOT of repetition in the jokes. From the amazing Bender in time episodes to this. I'm disappointed. The quality has dropped with each movie.

but people don't want to see something original.we want to see same stuff over and over again.

whatchu talkin' about darkspark68 ?!

[–] Darkspark88 15 years ago

Don't get me wrong. I like seeing the same stuff again and again. But I'm opposed to watching crap repeatedly.

I thought they were pretty funny.
Still do.

I've always wondered what the deal was with Charleston Chew. I thought it must be some sort of Nixon reference that I'm not old enough to get. I'd actually really like an explanation about it!

I like Nutley, though. Not so much the word, but the old woman who says it is a funny character to me.
