It was a lot funnier back when it was a more unique flavor of humor. I'd say even by the time they made this adaptation it was already played out, but that shouldn't reflect badly on the original work which was rather pioneering at the time.
someone managed to pre-ruin douglas adams for me by pointing out every situation is him basically be pissed about something that happened to him. a no-fault divorce, getting overcharged at a restaurant, etc.
Once you realise that, it ruins all comedy for you to be fair. I tried rewatching Peep Show recently but it's obviously just David Mitchell self-inserting his opinions every scene
Oh no, a writer drawing on his own real life experiences for certain scenes. That has surely never happened before and is the ultimate sin for an author.

You sound like you quietly seethe under your breath constantly like the sad little pest you are yet still somehow see yourself in your head as this great stoic.
Pathetic!
Yeah and that particular joke had a few layers of irony/comedy to it if we're really gonna dissect it. We're not laughing at what they're saying, it's obviously not funny, we're laughing at the characters thinking that it's funny/the context/etc.
Imagine thinking this is supposed to be funny because it's "random" and not understanding the greater comedy in the fact this directly compares to our own absurd quests for meaning.
Then imagine getting mad enough about something that only exists in your head to make a thread about it.
That is not at all why it's 42 - Adams just thought it was a funny number with no real meaning. You are just as moronic as OP. The whole point - and joke - is that people finally got the answer to life the universe and everything doesn't make any fricking sense because they were too stuck up in their own c**ts to bother asking what the question even was. You're doing the exact same thing he was mocking by ascribing this absolutely myopic reasoning to it - there are TONS of wildcard symbols out there * has no uniquely special meaning, moron
This >tfw zoomers are too moronic to even get hitchhikers guide
The books were much better anyway
lmao so random panda xD wasn't as obnoxious back then as it is now. Speaking of, I recently decided to read some of the old webcomics I used to be into as a kid (eg: mac hall, dinosaur comics, 8bt, etc) and holy fricking shit, the standards for humor were so much lower. It makes me worry that maybe I've become too jaded to enjoy things anymore.
Forty-two is the ASCII code for the symbol * also known as the asterisk. This symbol is often thought to translate to anything or everything. In this instance, 42 = everything, the meaning of life.

They hated him because he spoke the truth
yes, it is

That sounds funny though
So is every episode of Seinfeld and that's a timeless classic.
>sitcom
>timeless classic
they're dated before they even air
yes, but they aired and you've never even dated
Once you realise that, it ruins all comedy for you to be fair. I tried rewatching Peep Show recently but it's obviously just David Mitchell self-inserting his opinions every scene
Except Mitchell didn't write Peep show.
Oh no, a writer drawing on his own real life experiences for certain scenes. That has surely never happened before and is the ultimate sin for an author.
shut the frick up david
you're a cuck and a laughingstock

Name a movie or TV show that you think is funny
south park
thick of it.

HAHAHAHA AN APP THAT THROWS GRENADES IN PEOPLE'S DREAMS. DO YOU GET IT? IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE IT'S RANDOM HAHAHAHA
OH LOOK NOW HE'S SWEARING EXCESSIVELY HAHAHAHAHA IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE IT'S JUST SO NAUGHTY HAHAHAHA
See? You can do this to anything, even a top-tier comedy like The Thick of It.
god tier patrician taste. funniest political satire of the 21st century
Yes and Ho!
People always talk about Malcolm but Peter was the best swearer in the show imo
alan partridge
winnie the pooh (the original)
Dumb and Dumber
Only Fools and Horses
Intolerance
I dont enjoy anything, I only derive enjoyment from shitting on others happiness
Reality tv moments that were not intended to be funny.
I don't get it, what's the context?
naked gun
airplane
police squad
kentucky fried movie
peak simpsons
american dad on occasion
>american dad on occasion
american dad (pre TBS) is better than peak simpsons and this is coming from someone who loves both
comedy wise I may agree, but peak simpsons also hits heart and family moments that american dad could never
>Hey Patrick.
>Know what's funnier than 24?
>...
>twenty-fiiiive
Tom Kenny's iconic delivery took a mid-tier line and made it an instant classic
Yeah and that particular joke had a few layers of irony/comedy to it if we're really gonna dissect it. We're not laughing at what they're saying, it's obviously not funny, we're laughing at the characters thinking that it's funny/the context/etc.
It's actually funny because they failed to specify the actual question.
The best computer is useless when it's a bunch of morons using it.

Can't you gays enjoy anything?
>IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE IT'S RANDOM
It's not random. Clearly it went over your head.

Comedy just ages like shit, especially more amateur comedy. It’s rare comedic stuff is still funny a decade on
the TV show was better
Hahaha 42, It rhymes with naughty poo! Hahaha custard creams
reddit before reddit honestly, absolute state of british """humour"""
This made gen xers piss and shit themselves with tears of pure jolly laughter
Saw this film as a kid in theaters and it confused the absolute he'll out of me
It was funnier back then. Retroactively bashing films for being dated is not impressive
Jews are random and very silly, too.
By your logic, they aren't funny at all.
Which is true.
42, if you know ASCII and comp science could be taken as "whatever you want it to be".
Adams and Pratchett both embody everything detestable about British comedy
That ain't funny?
Nothing is funny if you over-analyze it. Even the most hilarious thing you've ever seen turns to shit when you start to pick it apart.
Analyze dis before I analize you.
anal eyes analyze anal lies
Show me your brown eye, homo.
Doubtful
Some people figured out that 6 x 9 = 42 if you use base 13.
Adams said that was not the joke.
ABCD
AB

42 and the asterisk symbol
Forty-two is the ASCII code for the symbol * also known as the asterisk. This symbol is often thought to translate to anything or everything. In this instance, 42 = everything, the meaning of life.
moronic butthole
How is that funny
It was an inside joke for computer nerdies

The original BBC series was way better then the movie.
