I've recently learned that if a group or organization cannot exist without one person, it's not a group. It's not an organization. It's one person doing all the work and a whole bunch of other people just happened to be there.
Deadpan humor makes these comments tolerable despite their slightly harsh tone. In a nutshell, deadpan humor is delivering a joke or witty remark with very minimal emotion.
Deadpan humor seems more effective via text, where detecting the sentiment behind the delivery is more difficult.
My husband struggles with subtitles... he's dyslexic. As around one in ten people are, that's going to be a lot of people who struggle with subtitles for very good reasons. Though personally I like them, but then I'm a bit deaf!!
I love subtitles because all the new shows don't know how to regulate volume. One minute it's super loud, then the dialog starts and everybody's whispering.
Load More Replies...My husband used to work for a subtitling company and we were so excited to find out that I watched the shows, movies he worked on almost 7-8 years before we met.
I am a bit deaf, so i like subtitles. But i just watched a British show based in Edinburg. They must have used AI because there were lots of mis- captures and some "[unintelligible]". So now you know, when the machines rise up, we can all speak with Scottish accent and they wont know what we are saying.
I would pick up a Kindle if I wanted to read. But I didn't; I picked up the TV remote.
Load More Replies...I'm sorry, my Turkish, Russian, Norwegian and German are all a little rusty.
Bilingual here, subtitles helps me understand every single word is said. It's very useful when you don't want to miss a single detail, especially with complex movies
I have to have subtitles on even when I watch any British show because some of their accents are unintelligible.
Derry Girls from Ireland. Can't understand those girls with out subtitles but I love em.
Load More Replies...I have bad eyes so I only use subtitles on YouTube (unless there's only autogenerated ones)
I can't read fast.. and reading subtitles I'm always focused on the words
Imagine TV and movies having dialog that's intelligible and isn't buried under the music or sound effects.
Closed captioning is why I was reading on my own at 4 years old. I have subtitles on for my daughter so she can learn to read. Also sometimes they talk quietly and you don't catch what they said so it's better then rewinding
subtitles distract me, i can read them fast enough but if they're on i'll spend the whole time reading them an not watching the show
I have the suspicion that some languages (including English) have pronunciations that naturally are hard to discern. Especially when heard on tv and in songs. The words are pretty similar necessitating the use of sub-titles, even for native speakers. Some languages seem not to suffer from this problem.
I am convinced people who don't like subtitles can hear, what sounds to me like Charlie Brown's teacher, and understand people with marbles in their mouths as well!
So you only watch shows on your own language then? I pity you as sometimes best shows come from all around the world.
I can't understand the English language sometimes. It's my first language I just occasionally struggle with it. I love subtitles but my sister hates them lol. She has to deal with it tho.
I love subtitles. You will often find extra information in them. And it helps me remember character names.
I have hearing loss. I am so thankful for subtitles. And, not to sound snarky, but I'm an avid reader and read 2 or 3 novels a week.
I mean.. How else would you watch a movies in language you don't know? There is NOTHING worse then dub so what is left are subtitles.
My husband and I agree on YES, subtitles. We're both pretty fast readers, and current trends in sound mixing have too much "background" noise drowning out dialogue. Doesn't help that actors don't seem to enunciate any more, either. Neither of us has any known hearing problems, I'm nearly 55, he's 61.
Subtitles are required for shows like House of the Dragon where there are 456 characters and all the names are similar
Whenever I'm watching tv with my family, I have to hold back on asking "Can you put the subtitles on" because I know words on screen irritates alot of people. I can hear just fine, but I LOVE reading along.
I don't like them because I find them distracting - I'm so busy reading them I don't watch the screen.
When my oldest was a wee toddler I started using subtitles as an aid to his reading education. I figured if we were watching something he may as well see the words too. It worked with both my kids, they both were reading well before there peers. Howevw we ended up with the unintended result of none of us being able to watch TV without subtitles to this day. (21 years later!)
Also somewhat deaf, subtitles save me from cranking the sound up to earthshaking. Some subs are still too fast for someone trying to hear and read at the same time.
I watch everything with subtitles! Sometimes you can't understand the actors.
I could never understand those who read movies whereas peeps just who don't like to read books says that they will wait till the movie comes out.
Please stop showing messages on mobiles, I can't see it. If I go to the TV, message gone. Cruel
I like closed captioning because actors don’t enúnciate and half the time I’m asking what’s he say?!
I love subtitles. I use them because sometimes i just find the fluctuating sound of the TV awful.
In this age of sound effects being MUCH louder than speech, they're almost a necessity. Especially if you're hard of hearing.
My wife's lost some hearing in the lower registers and so uses subtitles to help. I watch foreign films with subtitles because you lose so much nuance if you can't hear the actors delivery.
English is my second language. I often use subtitles so that I don't miss anything.
I'm neurodivergent; I read fast, but sometimes my auditory processing lags, especially when there are big differences in the volume of characters' voices vs sound effects. My boyfriend is a film buff; he is very particular about visual effects and sound quality, prefers certain types of movie theaters over others, and talks a lot about the technical aspects of film making. He cares more than most people about the experience of watching a film, but you know what? Anytime we watch movies at home together, he puts on the f*****g subtitles. He has offered to do so for me ever since I first explain why I like them. Subtitles are also great for understanding actors with real or fake accents, knowing how to spell names and fictional places, catching time period specific slang, in universe only terms, or unfamiliar jargon (i.e. military terms in action film as someone with little other experience with them). Subtitles are great.
I hate subtitles for exactly that reason. I can't watch the picture and read the words, it's one or the other, never both.
I'm bilingual (Greek English) and I never "learned" to read subtitles as a kid because all the films I watched were either in Greek or in English. As an adult, it took me a while to get used to them, although I do read really fast.
I struggle with languages I don’t understand, so subtitles are great. I can read and look at the same time too.
Where I live, dubbing is only done for TV shows for children. Everything else comes in its original voices with subtitles. Where I was born and raised, everything is dubbed. Every time when going to a visit, I realize how awful even excellent dubbing is, and how much background noise vanishes.
I keep the volume down when streaming movies and shows... Like subtitle option.
I hate subtitles, why do I want to be looking at the words instead of the action??
You can do both. What i do is getting a quick look at the subs then i focus on the scene. If you train yourself to do it you won't miss a single scene.
Load More Replies...I hate subtitles because I end up focusing on the stupid words and miss 97% of whatever I'm watching.
What a bizarre comment. Subtitles as a relationship dealbreaker? I don't read fast due to failing eyesight. It also distracts me from the video action. Then there are the subtitles that can't be read by anyone because of the font color blending into the scenery.
Thank goodness we all find different people attractive. Chances are you’d die in the crush or die old and single otherwise. I’m still going down the old and single route anyway!
Unlike slapstick or topical humor in sketch comedies, deadpan humor is about wit and wordplay. Through intellect and irony, it urges its viewers to think beyond the obvious.
Some famous names who have incorporated dry humor into their comedy acts are the late great Norm Macdonald, “Mr. Bean” Rowan Atkinson, Sarah Silverman, and Aubrey Plaza.
get into a large cardboard box and ship yourself to the seychelles, duh
at least half of all anxiety/depression is caused by not being financially stable
That's why one should not take their teenage crush/love seriously
Deadpan humor isn’t for everyone. According to an article by Tampa-based comedy club Side Splitters, it tends to appeal more to people with an intellectual and witty outlook.
These people are known to have a keen sense of irony and enjoy juxtaposing life’s mundanity with sharp-witted observations.
However, the unique flavor that dry humor brings can also be the source of its potential risks. As the article points out, the subtlety of delivery and the irony may lead to confusion. Some people may even take offense.
Dry humor may also be overused, creating a disconnect with the audience. For this reason, veteran comedians vary the delivery of their jokes or switch up their comedy styles to preserve the effectiveness of their punchlines.
i dont need money, just a few thousand kilograms of solid gold thanks
Let’s switch the conversation to you, readers. Which of these epic top comments were the funniest for you? Would you read through the comments section if these were the replies you’d find? We’d like to hear from you!
Taking the joke to the next level: By using ticks as their weapon, the vegans are exploiting animals for their own agenda, thereby violating their own principals. The vegans are no longer vegans. Edit: violating principles, of course. Autocorrect thought that violating principals was the more likely option 🤔
I don’t keep my phone on silent because I’ve just never been able to feel phones vibrating. But I do have it set to automatically turn on do not disturb when I should be in bed. Edit: Well, I’m stupid. Of course silent or vibrate are different. I wasn’t thinking at all. But yeah, still don’t use silent except when I actually need to because I want notifications???
Can there be a third option where you push your ex down the stairs as a distraction? 🤔
I literally said "oof" out loud when I read this.... That's rough.
*gasp* People spend time with their friends doing things they enjoy?? /s
They wanted you to have a really good cake, and you know, you are the very best cake-baker they know! You don't want a 2nd-rate cake, so who else would they ask? (Come on, I'm doing my best here!)
I think the yellow one should be Selena Slowmez, but maybe that's just me
A car does not make up for sexual assault as a child, 25+ years of abuse, or attempted murder. So I would probably just kick him in the balls and walk away.
I can do stupid better.....As a kid, I used to watch prehistoric programmes (walking with dinasours/monsters etc) and actually thought the cameramen figured out how to go back in time to film them.
It's all fun and games until you realize someone has to make the bed...
As much as I detest him, he takes his stunts seriously. When they made MIssion Impossible 4, it is said that they had a perfect copy of the top of the Burj Kalifa tower ready in the studio for a scene, when Tom Cruise suddenly insisted on filming on location and doing the stunts on the actual building.
if me and my best friends worked together we wouldnt even make it to work
whoever can afford to buy a house tall enough to house a giraffe can afford a giraffe as well
I can't help but read it in my head in Lil Wayne's voice (he says basically the same line in the song Down)
I look like trash either way.......but atleast I don't hide behind make up or image filters
Blurring German(?) words in the background now for being swears, oh dear
Normally, these are funny but I didn't find many of these funny. Also, some of these are easily from 10 years ago!
Every single list on BP, top overall comments, "I find this list to exude an aura of 'firmly meh' and did not find it funny AT ALL! AAAnD tHeYrE oLd!!!" We get it. If BP isn't robbing random Redditors blind, then they are rerunning a stupid list. We all know. No need to repeat your comments on the next rerun.
Load More Replies...It's far easier to make a comment on something that someone else wrote, than to come up with original content. Look at me, I'm doing it now.
First time seeing some of these for me, and they made me laugh a couple of times. I am so freaking grateful for reasons to laugh, the world is one tense freaking place right now. We have a lot of “oh, hell no!” Stuff going on with armed conflicts. Even the briefest of chuckles is super welcome at this time
I have a limited internet s9 and NOT ONCE have i experienced page loading problems or awwsnap cheeseburger re-meme-loads or having to watch the myriad of text and color formatting changes when a page is loading or Especially running out of allotted bandwidth because of a page creators indecisive people-pleasing tastes where each fully loading edit counts against my 4 to 10 gig limit, NO.... BP has none of those things and.. IT PLEASES ME!! Computer on old star trek after providing the captain his answer,,, "That Is All"
Snarky, s****y, wise-a*s sarcasm lightly veiled as "funny." Now I need to scrape this c**p off my shoes. Yuck.
