yes, or at least most of it. Still don't find him all that funny. I did enjoy The Truman Show, Eternal Sunshine and Bruce Almighty (only one of those 3 that he sort of tries to be funny) so its not like I despise all of his work, just the more traditional comedies. Which is weird, b/c he should be right up my ally. I love a lot of stupid comedies that would be of similar ilk to Ace Ventura, Dumb and Dubmer, etc... Fletch, Spies Like us, Role Models, Tommy Boy, etc..
You mean sections like this might hit too close to home for some:
orCUT TO: INT. JOSH'S OFFICE - DAY
JOSH
They don't seem to be taking my response in the spirit in which it was
intended.
DONNA
Yeah.
JOSH
Seems to be a very unusual social structure. For instance, there is leader
who seems
to pride herself on her organizational skills and a certain amount of
discipline.
DONNA
Right. That's what's called a control freak.
JOSH
[getting visibly upset] Well, she does seems to do an awful lot of
scolding. "You've
posted in the wrong place. Stay on topic people. Don't use capital letters. I
don't have
time to tell you twice," when clearly, she does have time to tell us twice. But
that's
not the problem.
orDONNA
I think you've gone 'round the bend.
JOSH
I'm dictating now. I don't think it falls under the category of "outrageous"
to suggest
that I might have friends on the other end of the Avenue who have the phone
number of
the GAO. Let me put this more plainly. The White House can get a GAO review
of anything
it wants without posing a threat to the separation of powers. And I believe
I'll use
capital, lowercase, or Sanskrit, right up until the moment the font police
cuff me and
read me Miranda!
DONNA
That'll show them.
JOSH
See, I think these are good people, by and large, but they've come under
the thumb of a
dictatorial ruler. So, as with a small, Central American country, my role
is to incite
the people to topple her
DONNA
You're way round the bend. Can I get you a damp towel or something?
JOSH
No, but do we have any Yoo-Hoo?
DONNA
Yeah.
JOSH
I'll take one.
DONNA
I'm on it.
"You posted on a website?"
". . .C.J., it a crazy place. It's got this dictatorial leader who I am pretty sure wears a muu muu and chain smokes Parliments. . ."
"What did you go there for in the first place?"
"It's called LemonLyman.com."
"Let me explain something to you, this is sort of my field. The people on these sites: they're the cast of 'One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest.' . . . I'm telling you to open the ward room window and climb on out before they give you a pre-frontal lobotomy and I have to smother you with a pillow. . . .

Things that make me laugh.
-Absurdism (Python, The Bugle (which is why I knew John Oliver would be a hit), Comedy Bang Bang (and that whole genre of comedy), Good SNL
-Clever Word Play - Marx Brothers, Abbott and Costello
-Smart Stand-up - Patton Oswalt, Louis CK, Pryor, Carlin
-Musical Humor - Weird Al, Jonathon Colton, Randy Newman
Things I know are funny but have a hard time watching because I squirm too much and need to leave the room.
-Seinfeld (mostly George), anything with Ben Stiller, Curb
Things that don't make me laugh much
-Pure gross out humor. Some is good, too much is too much.
-Gotcha humor, Prank shows, crank calls (most of the people on the other side don't deserve it, it is much funnier to laugh at ones self than others)
-Bad SNL (which is unwatchable), MadTV
Variatio delectat - Cicero
