i think it's more fun to objectively claim that some things are funnier than others

serpent: did i ever get you to watch "Coogan's Run"? you'd probably appreciate that comedy series. (it is early stuff with Steve Coogan, you know, better known now as Alan Partridge)

Budbrain -- i think i very very vaguely remember this (it presented a lot of individual objects on screen?) but would have to watch again to remember

sometimes a thing is funny purely because it isn't funny (bc we laugh at things that are unexpected) -- like the long joke without a punchline. but yes, some things are just crap. there is also some area of overlap between 'humour' and 'good taste'
