The Most Unfunny Post Ever

There is a feeling deep within my heart that I have lived with for a long time. It used to be more of a secret, but it has become so strong that there has been the occasional slip to my family or even a friend or two. It is really hard for me to express this into words, especially since it could very well impact some of the most important relationships in my life. I cannot let that possibility deter me though; it is more healthy to just say everything and have it out in the open rather than keep it pent up inside. *sigh* Here it goes...

Charlie the Unicorn is one of the stupidest things I have ever seen in my life.

There, I said it and there's no taking it back. I mean, seriously...have you watched this crap? If not, save yourself the hassle and just live your life knowing that you don't have to endure it. Normally I am a fan of experienceing things for the sake of knowledge, but in this case I'm willing to make an exception. Recently I accidentally stumbled upon the third installment of this inane series. Of course, "Charlie" is one of those rediculous instances in which the thought sequence follows thusly: "Oh, enough people liked the first one, so I'll keep making more by using the exact same formula without any improvement." I call it the Superman Effect because this was the reasoning behind the "Superman" film series, and we all know how that turned out.

And now is the part where I get lambasted for attacking something simply because I don't think it's funny. I can only respond with the fact that it is funny. The thing is, when I watch Charlie the Unicorn, I want to laugh, but I cannot in good taste allow myself to do so. It is simply too stupid to justify its existence with laughter. It is the lowest common denominator of comedy; the Big Mac of humor. It's a cheap way to make someone chuckle. Shouldn't we be better than this? Am I saying don't laugh at it? No, no one can control what others find funny; it's part of the nature of humor. I do however request that nobody say that Charlie the Unicorn is, "the funniest thing ever," because it's not. It's like saying Burger King is the greatest food ever, and anyone who says that is in desperate need of some horizon expanding, but this should probably be done after Mommy gets you to use the grown-up potty successfully.
