The State of Bro Comedy in 2k9

We are all searching for media that ‘makes us laugh’ without having to think about ‘why we are laughing at it.’ We just want something that isn’t ‘trying too hard’ and isn’t ‘too bitter and self-aware.’ We want comedy that is smart and a lil bit dumb at the same time. We just want to relax, but feel ‘progressive’ and ‘current’ with what we find humorous. The ’stuff u find funnie’ is just as important as the mp3s on your iPod.

This is a post about Bro Comedy in 2k9 that is kinda disguised as offbeat comedy which is lumped into an alternative comedy genre. (Tweens love bro comedy because it makes them feel like they ‘fit in’.)

Yall. I’m just wondering if yall know if 2k9 is gonna be a good year for zany movies with zany characters. If u think about it, we haven’t had a movie that resonated deeply with Gen-Y since the hit film Napoleon Dynamite (aka NAPPY DYNABRO).

n e ways….
I recently saw a trailer for a film that looks kind of zany with one of the zany bros from FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS

Does this movie ’seem funny’ 2 u? Does something inside of u feel like u need 2 see it because of how it emulates popular comedic aesthetics, looks sort of meaningful, and has a character/actor from a popular TV show who is playing a different character/actor? I wonder what type of bro is inside of the ConchordBro from this movie. What inspired him to play these ‘oddball characters’? Does he think that he is making the world a better place by delivering a message through these quirky characters? Should we all just lighten up and laugh a lil bit? Do we really need to see another movie about ’sad, dumb people’ to realize that life is precious in a meaningless way?


What’s the deal with the Flight of the Conchords? Are they supposed to be ‘funny’? I remember I watched an episode, and it wasn’t very funnie, but there were quirky characters who wrote songs about zany stuff. The songs borrowed popular aesthetics from music over the past 50 years, sort of ‘parodying’ these genres while musing about the dilemma that the characters found themselves’ in. Not sure if I should ‘respect them’ for writing their own songs that sound like old songs, or if I should find them to be inauthentic.

This is a funnie song by them where they are being kind of zany.

Does any 1 ‘get’ why people find comedy in music format to be ‘funnie’? Do you appreciate the craftsmanship + innovation of some one who can ‘play a guitar’ while singing funny things? Is that more valuable to society than a guy who plays guitar and say serious things about relationships/life ?

Have u heard of this group of bros called THE LONELY ISLAND?

I feel like the Lonely Island bros are sort of like ‘class clowns who were also jocks/alpha mainstreamers.’ There is an expectation for comedy/comedians to be ‘progressive’ or point something out about how society is sooo messed up and how ur perspective is different. But not with Funny Alpha Bros. Because they choose to be 50% zanier than they are expected to be, packs of mainstreamers feel comfortable ‘laughing at’ the zany humor presented by a group like the Lonely Island Mainstreamer Bros. Laughing at the relatively safe, non-progressive humor of a Lonely Island bro makes you ‘belong’ a little bit more–but you also get to feel like you are sort of rebelling against the standard alpha bro. Even though alphaBro humor is usually ’shock humor’, it isn’t the kind of ’shock humor’ that is like taking a shit on an American flag. It’s more like ‘poop+curse+reference from the past+extreme sexual innuendo.’

The Lonely Island kind of remind me of WEIRD AL except a bro-version that appeals to the type of people who ‘buy complete seasons of DVDs’, watching them multiple times while ‘getting stoned’ and ‘chilling with friends.’ Just the kind of people who aren’t very fascinated with ‘being alive’ and would rather be able to carry on conversations with other people about popular mainstream media in video+audio format. As you grow old, you can compare various media and rate them historically. For example, “The Simpsons in its prime is way better than _______(Adult Swim show).” <3 the Bromedy demographic.

Is there something inside of alts that feel the need to 'fit in' and find this humor 'funnie'? You can also see that Alts like the Arcade Fire enjoy cobranding themselves with the Mildly Alt Comedy Jocks.

I suppose that these bros have ‘worked hard’ to ‘be successful’, but kinda makes u wonder if they should be doing more with their ‘platform.’ Or are they being ‘progressive’ since they are doing something kind of zany when everything else is ‘conforming’ to previous concepts of comedy? It’s just hard for me to take them seriously when I feel like they seem like the type of bros who are only capable of feeling validation from things like ‘performing a skit that made fun of the teachers at our high school’ or ‘my mom thinking that I have a funny personal brand.’


Does n e 1 else find ‘comedy albums’ to be kind of weird and uncomfortable? I feel like they are purchased by people who don’t ‘get’ the memesphere. Like of course you can see something ‘oddly delightful’ in a zany song the first time you hear it. But should it inspire a sane person to buy an entire album full of lil sillie songs. Do you plan on listening to this album for the rest of your life? Or will you just put it on when you feel like having a laugh? Or is there something inside of you that wants to create bro-humor + be an alphaBro who makes the ppl laugh?

Anyways, yall. What’s the deal with BRO MAINSTREAMER BUTT BUDDY FGGT COMEDY? (this is a new genre term that I invented)
Everything has changed since Weird Al ’sold out’ and got a nose job.

Should I only value altComedians like David Cross and Bob Odenkirk?
Is Will Ferrell the #1 comedian of all time?
Do u miss Phil Hartman?
Is Steve Martin overrated?
Was George Carlin overrated? Should I eat pizza until I die while watching reruns of Seinfeld/Curb Ur Enthusiasm?
Was ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT overrated?
What type of comedy do u respect more: College Humor or Lonely Island Bros?
Do comedians owe it to themselves to do more than ‘mock’ popular aesthetics, and try to change the world by pointing out what’s wrong with it, and helping us laugh through troubled times?
Is Chris Rock better than Eddie Murphy better than Richard Pryor?
Is there like some sort of ’science’/'psychology’ to what people find ‘funnie’? (can some1 who went 2 college please answer this)
Has the meme economy cheapened ‘comedy’?
Is it easier for nonfunny comedy in non-sitcom format to thrive simply because it’s not in ’sitcom’ format? [this question is trying 2 say that the Office sux]
Do yall wish we could just appreciate sitcoms again?

What makes something ‘funny’ and ‘authentic’?
Just trying to preserve my personal brand, yall.

    Carles, when you made that post about watching AnCo “grow up” on the Internet, I thought of the Lonely Island dudes that I have been a fan of for around 5 years and how they were the comedy version of that for me.

    That said, I think your analysis of them is way off base. And yet I still see how you could form that opinion and I realize that they are open to that criticism because of “blowing up” or “crossing over.”

    Anyway, I think the Lonely Island pretty much always have a clever concept or twist on things that goes beyond “funny because white people are rapping.” But they often do not go beyond mocking the OC, hollywood movies, MTV and arguably heterosexism.

    No bro comedy post is complete without mentioning Tom Green.

    As far as comedians challenging the more substantial things in the world, the discussion there goes back to Bill Hicks and Lenny Bruce.

    Yes, the “meme economy” has cheapened/”democratized” comedy.

    That movie with Jermaine looks good. Arrested Development WASN’T overrated–even though it won numerous awards–because NOONE watched it until it went to DVD. AD is a brilliant show. Also, you losers should have been watching Trailer Park Boys, but I believe after 7 or so seasons it is ending. They are filming their last movie.

    whish u would make a post abt this (s0 confused)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFnupeF6uvU

    is the guy singing this supposed to be alt? or just a regularbro dressing up as an altbro (costume for halloween 2k8) making fun of what he thinks is ‘alt’? all the ‘altbaguettes/’art school girls’ in this video just look like normal girls. the most ‘alt’ one (via big glasses) looks at best like an entry level alt whose mall just opened up a new am appy store

    You referenced Arrested Development w/o giving an opinion. ‘Good job’ keeping your brand ‘clean’.

    But Arrested Development is the epitome the ‘real’ or ‘alt’ ‘comedy’. It was just too ‘alt’ to survive; it wasn’t ‘relatable’ enough.

    I think you should draw more attention to the them; Help them make make that movie. Making the un-genuine alts believe in something they don’t understand…(giving away the show’s obscurity), to me, is a small price to pay to rehash this master piece.

    Oh and by they may, I think your doing the right thing by ‘putting out’ this ‘LP’ or ‘album’. I’m equally questionable as it’s a ‘good idea’ or a ‘bad idea’, edgy, very alt (that’s you)., never let us down Carles; you have a ‘duty’ to your audience.

    Carles, you are totally on the money with ‘musical comedy’.

    Music is a mask for crap jokes.

    BUT go to any comedy festival and you’ll see the masses creaming their pants when someone plays a shit tune on the guitar and sings some ‘funny’ lyrics. They think it’s genius.

    As for FOTC, they aren’t shit cos they do musical comedy. they are shit cos they are ‘whimsical’ and ‘awkward’. being whimsical is just another way to distract from the fact that your jokes are crap.

    another genre i would add to these is “mockumentary”. the most lazy form of humour ever.

    There are a lot of commercial people who read this site, because hipster is a commercial word. Commercial means you were tricked by the corporations to defend their products targeting the high school market because that is the biggest consumer market.

    The purpose of this site is to help you all realize that you were heavily marketed to in your biggest developmental stage in order to get you to buy all the crap mtv and 7/11 sells because you’re rebelling against the rules imposed on your parents to impose on you by the same corporate system resulting in you having no idea what to do after school but rebel and try to feel different than your parents who are less valuable because of their age.

    These comedy shows are obviously teen oriented and become evermore powerful when the people defending them on this post realize they’re growing older and have been taught that’s a bad thing.

    So let go of your fear of getting older, let go of your interests, they are not your own, you do not own them nor are you committed to them. Finally there are plenty of murderous conniving organizations to rebel against and rectify the time you wasted rebelling against the rules your parents were taught to impose on you.

    The most sickening thing of all this is the “sell outs”, to establish the true meaning of that phrase, who understand the wrongdoings of the corporate/governmental system who initially appear to offer an alternative but really work for the same system: Doritos, coke, american apparel…..anything that is a corporation is bound to their shareholders before they are to the public, health, or the environment. It is law. The result of this law is the undeniable potential in creating unethical and unjust business and marketing policies.

    I have not attacked anyone but the corporate/gov. scheme, so please do not reply out of anger unless you want to be an example of the anger and rebellion you never settled against your parents/the system and prove you are still committed to working for free, being bastardized taken advantage of by the corporations you now work for. Please no racial, sexual, or disability related insults, unless you work for american eagle or some other indie org gone corporate.

    Finally finally, if you do go against the previous paragraph, I will explain why you do and how it helps coke and corona get more money. (Interesting because carles sells advtsng to them)

    Negative, sex, and negative sex sells because anytime you can be motivated by your fear of being rebuked by the community because of physically, sexually or stylistically (appearance) weak, or you are most likely to try to buy something besides therapy or a trip to be alone in new hampshire like jack kerouac said to do to find yourself, in order to assure yourself you will not be cast out. So any time you feel you’re acting on that fear, of scarcity or not fitting in, you were successfully marketed to as a child or adult, and you need real human exchange of ideas and emotions to solve them.
