Today's is brilliant, can't show it though!

Today's is a new short, absolutely brilliant, so wrong!

Make sure you watch through the credits too, there's a little bit in the middle...

[Beefmeister]

Loving the new shorts!

[Beefmeister]

It was just meant to be a bit spooky. For Halloween. Geddit?

[Beefmeister]

Hmmm, I know it's depressing comic week but today's crossed a line for me. Try harder chaps, you can make depressing funny as we've seen, but not this.

Note: I have a young baby so maybe that's why I don't approve so much.

Well I have one as well, but I'm not sure what you expected from C&H. There are no lines.

Thing is they do still normally have a slight element of comedy to them even in depressing week.

This is just a baby in a incubator, dying.

Monty Python had a sketch about someone taking their dead mother in a bag into an undertakers. They went through various options and then decided they were going to eat her.

The very fact that someone wrote a comic about a dying baby has a hideous comic irony about it.

If you don't like unbelievably dark, this probably isn't the thread for you.

I clearly like dark humour, and C&H, I started this bloody thread!

[Beefmeister]

As much as I love C&H, I'm struggling with the new shorts. Some of them just aren't very funny.

This week's one barely raised a smirk - is it just me?

[Beefmeister]

I kinda hoped that they had a big list of ideas and scripts for hilarious shorts, so they decided to do the Kickstarter campaign to get them made.

But it appears that they thought "Ooh, lets see if a Kickstarter campaign will work and we can make some shorts" then when it worked went "Oh crap, we'd better get something made".

[Beefmeister]

Agreed.

[Beefmeister]

I do have a rather childish sense of humour sometimes, so this made me giggle:

[Beefmeister]

That was brilliantly bonkers. Love it!

[Beefmeister]

No, not just you. A couple have made me laugh, but the majority are just entertaining to watch, nothing more.

[Beefmeister]

Holy fking st. I nearly peed myself.

[Beefmeister]

So, the first of the C&H Show is up. 10mins long.

And I laughed, maybe, once.

Oh dear.

[Beefmeister]

Hmmm, week 2 of the long show.

Actually, that should be WEAK 2.

Jesus, I've had funnier sts than this.

[Beefmeister]

Jesus, you lot know how to suck the humour out of a funny thread don't you!

[Beefmeister]

As soon as someone has to 'explain the joke' it is by default, no longer funny.

[Beefmeister]

Yeah, after a seriously weak start the 12min shorts are definitely getting better. I've had some actual lols which is a lot more than the first ones.
