Why were the '60s so unfunny?
>>216025723Movies back then weren't made to pander to the sensibilities of thirdies who should never have been taught English in the first place.
>>216025723its funny because the general is cavorting with his bikini clad secretary. The bikini having been named after the island where the US was testing nuclear bombs.
pic pretty fucking unrelated
>>216025723>>216026037Scott's performance is pure genius in that film. Amazing comedic timing, especially since he was playing it straight and not comedic.
>>216026753>Scott's performance is pure genius in that film. Amazing comedic timing, especially since he was playing it straight and not comedic.ok, but the movie isn't funny
>>216026809what would have made it funny to you, a pie fight?
>>216026833i don't know of a funny pie fight but ive never really watched the three stooges
>>216025723>Why were the '60s so unfunny?Because all the (((comedy writers))) were blacklisted in the '50s.
>>216026809You're just low IQ.

>>216025723How Kubrick found the idea of mutually assured destruction to be funny I'll never know why.
>>216027021it's a good movie but come on, a high iq is not a requirement for enjoying it
>>216027598A high IQ? No. But you need to have at least a close to average IQ to appreciate it. You have to appreciate irony and intentional stupidity. If you're too low IQ to appreciate how ridiculous they're being, then you're not gonna laugh. Plus you have to understand the culture back then to an extent too. If you don't know the history of it you're not gonna appreciate how retarded it is. >>216027498Because it's so ridiculous that the entire human race could literally get wiped out over a mistake. It's a "you either laugh or you cry" kind of situation.
>>216025723I don't think they were unfunny I just think the sense of humor was different. Something you and I probably don't get.
You people lumping Dr Strangelove in with 60s comedies should probably understand that nothing Kubrick did was typical, and Strangelove, while the cold war plot was prescient in the early 60s, as a film its style is not at all typical of the 60s or any era for that matter.
>>216027598I didn't say you had to have a high IQ to enjoy it. Your reading comprehension is poor, another trait of a low IQ. You're saying Dr. Strangelove isn't funny. I'm saying you're too low IQ to get the humor.

>>216025723I wanted to argue, but you're right.
>>216025723Because Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, and Woody Allen were still writing for TV. The funny TV writers of the 1960s make the comedy of the 1970s.
>>216028232>The funny TV [...] of the 1960sEven Looney Tunes sucked then.
Political humour has never been funny in any decade

Pre Monthy Python becoming popular in America, you guys were still laughing at three stooges eye pokes like it was comedy genius.
