This show is simply not funny to me


I'm a fan of a wide variety of tv comedy...

The vanguard of comedic excellence and sophistication (or just plain artistic bravery) over the past 25 years:

- The Simpsons (S2-S9), Kids in the Hall, Arrested Development, Mr. Show, 30 Rock, Louie, Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job!, Community.


The middleground, workman-like shows capable of providing, at the very least, great stories, occasional brilliance and steady laughs:

- South Park, The Office, Archer, The League, Bob's Burgers, Enlightened, Party Down, Parks and Recreation, King of the Hill, Futurama, etc.


And then there are the shows I'll watch at someone's house because it's not my place to turn the channel:

- I'm generally not a fan of modern laugh-track multi-camera sitcoms, because at this point in our evolution they fundamentally serve as physiological cues for mentally retarded people, or simply the overworked folks without the energy to think and laugh simultaneously (The Big bang Theory, Two and a half men, etc.), or 'modern' family sitcoms whose rip-and-repeat (heart / laughs) approach might as well have a laugh-track: Modern Family, Go On. Or those who are trying WAY too hard to be 'edgy': Legit, Flight of the Concords. But I'll still, like, watch them without much complaint and will laugh a few times.


Then there are the shows I simply do not find funny. Like, not at all. I think I must not get them. Someone explain to me what I'm missing in the following shows:

Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Wondershowzen, Crank Yankers, Mind of Mencia, The Sarah Silverman Program, Reno 911, Robot Chicken, Frankenhole.

Thx!

No worries.

Noone is requiring you to enjoy this.

I personally think it's the most underrated show AS has ever put out.
