    A load of expletives gets it noticed, but it's not funny. By any stretch of the imagination.

    Curse words are used to accentuate comedy, not as a form of comedy itself. It's not funny.

    You see, that's what makes life so interesting, everyone is different, our perceptions of things are rarely the same.

    You state categorically that it's not funny, and you're right, but only from your perspective.

    That ad is amusing but it doesn't alter the fact that I do not have $600 to spend on a phone.

    Funny to some, not to others.

    People who don't find it funny say It's not funny! and people who do say: It is funny! and around and around we go.

    Subjectively I find it funny, but then I find Best of Craigslist comedy gold.....

    It would have been better if he had said wax lyrical instead of was poetic - the lack of attention to this detail sort of ruined it for me.

    I think curse words attenuate comedy, when uttered by unfunny comedians, Brendan O'Carroll etc.
    Whereas someone like Chris Rock uses 'curse words' to enhance the comedic effect of his 'already funny' material.

    I was only trying to be 'funny', ok I failed as usual, but in the words of Randle Patrick McMurphy:"But I tried, didn't I Goddamnit, at least I did that".
