Then why don't I find some things funny yet other things funny?
Because humour is objective, yet whether you find it funny is subjective.


I are pagetopper overlard.

There are comedians who I think are trash but are filthy rich. Dane Cook, Carlos Mencia, etc.
Mencia's material is often not trash, because he steals it from some of the bettter comedians, like Bill Cosby.

Dane Cook's material is objectively unfunny. "If I got to choose a superpower, I'd like an ability to shoot macaroni from my fingernails". What's up with that?

It's the delivery his fans are there for.

Oh, there are certainly rules of humour, and things that are more or less important. Comedic timing, wit, irony, lots of stuff like that. But all of these rules can be applied to different styles of humour, and those are extremely subjective. Which means that no, Fran, humour cannot be objectively measured.

Probably, but it's funnier to think of her as a dom.
She might be a dom towards mares and a sub towards stallions. Or vice versa. Been there / done that

My knowledge of English horse-related terms is shit. Disregard that.

I think he meant submissive in the literal sense, not sexually. At least I hope so...

Edit: or not, just language screw ups. Damn ninjas

Been gone all day; didn't hear about the new episode announcement until a little while ago.

The Flim Flam brothers, huh?

Also, some cider clarification from layout artist Nayuki:
Cider in North America is non-alcoholic unless it's stated as either 'hard cider' or 'alcoholic cider'. The show is made in North America. Expecting alcohol in a kids show is silly.

Fran, adult horses and ponies are called mares and stallions. Young ponies, called foals, can also be divided into fillies (for mares) and colts (for stallions).

Pff, like that's going to stop us. If nothing else you just know that she's got a hard cider business going on the side.

Also in before 'Red you ignorant slob that's not how fermenting drinkable cider works'.

Yeah because the "Spiking the punch" pun makes a whole lotta sense if there's no such thing as alcohol -_-

Is this world's version of spiking a drink just throwing salt in it or something? [lol]
