You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
Today is boring. I will de-encipher one of my old cipher posts. Because angry 2014 Aliroz needs to be let loose on the world.
Things I hate:
That awful musical that Parker and Stone did and named after the Book of Mormon. (Ugh, Parker and Stone. Can someone please murder them?)
That awful musical that Andrew Lloyd Webber did (okay, that's all of Andrew Lloyd Webber's stuff, but here I'm referring to Jesus Christ Superstar).
That awful unfunny Monty Python thing (okay, that's all of Monty Python, but here I refer to Life of Brian). Oh, but all of these things are apparently secretly pro-religion despite being offensive as all get-out, so I can't complain because freedom of speech. I hate freedom of speech.
Seriously, 2014 Aliroz? Webber did Cats, and that was not-awful. And Monty Python was sometimes funny. You've never even seen any of the things you hate in this list. I know, because I've never seen them.
And not liking what someone says doesn't mean you have to dislike freedom of speech.
I share your rage, 2014 Aliroz, but have learned to put it to better ends.

Word of warning: you'll need to install Ruby, and setting up the bot requires some level of familiarity with command line stuff. (I did mine in Linux, but there's no reason it didn't work on Windows.)

Update: they finally managed to put a sign outside 140 W. 19th Avenue with the proper address
(Last week they briefly had it signed "151 W. Woodruff Avenue", which properly belongs to the building next door!)
Monty Python strikes me as basically just kinda "random" absurdist humor.
It's not all that funny to me, but I surmise that it's very memetic because the jokes are very specific and easily communicatable.
I actually did not know it was possible to think Monty Python isn't funny.
It's not all that witty.
It's just sorta random. And blatant. It's kinda like shitposting, come to think of it. Which is honestly not that funny either. It's amusing for about five minutes, but not really all that memorably awesome, in my opinion. It's like if I were to be talking about something and then sudd--HOLY SHIT IT'S AN ELEPHANT THAT HAS A SMILEY FACE PAINTED ONTO ITS SIDE TEN FEET AWAY FROM ME AND IT'S STANDING ON A ROBOT.
My favorite styles of humor usually involve a little more...well, for lack of a better term, "elegance". For example, Look Around You and its deadpan subtlety.

Monty Python is the reason that "random" absurdist humour exists in the first place.
ehh, I'm pretty sure it has existed without it. though maybe it popularized it and so we have stuff like SNL today? (which incidentally i'm not much a fan of either)

and if you're going to have an elephant with a smiley face painted on it standing on a robot, the funniest way to deal with that in my opinion is to go on with life as if the elephant being there is completely normal
not to make A HUGE EXAGGERATED SCENE ABOUT IT HOLY SHIT THAT ELEPHANT WITH A SMILEY FACE PAINTED ON IT STANDING ON A ROBOT IS IN THE SAME ROOM AS I AM
More, the things you are criticizing Monty Python for do not make any sense to me.
I guess I just feel that their style of humor feels forced and doesn't flow very well, and I feel I'd enjoy them more if they used subtlety more often.
I don't hate them for it, and some of their jokes are actually pretty funny.
That said my original comment earlier was that the biggest quality of their jokes is that they're very memorable.
Comments
crossing them doesn't make much sense
I do a think that classic Hanna-Barbera and One Hundred and One Dalmatians mesh well simply in part due to the 1960s roots and mid-century aesthetics
Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
Try this one

okay?
y'know, there's a thing called "taste", and it varies from person to person. this is normal.

but again
matter of taste.

absurdist humour definitely existed before python, though python is good and did a lot to popularise it further
there is no such thing as good taste, but actually, there is such thing as good taste. i thought this was goin to be silly job interview from the thumbnail (also good) this is a good 1
