The Fifth Hyuck
This is the 5th in a series of Hyucking Hyuck threads, for riffing, joking, and misc. non-hollerin' overflow from politics discussion on the blue. If it breaks up the flow in a politics discussion, this is a better place for it. [more inside]
Hyuck To The Future
Time to kick open another Hyucking Hyuck thread, for riffing and jokes and misc. non-hollerin' overflow from politics discussion on the blue. [more inside]
"See if you can start a filibuster"
"Life is like politics: 10% getting things done. 90% exploiting loopholes." That's the summary of a classic Peanuts strip, now colorized. This is the latest hyucking hyuck thread.
Is there a collection of "This is just to say" poems by MeFites?
I ran into yet another of these in the 2017 post about Truck Nutz, and realized I've been seeing them for years. Didn't see anything about them on the Wiki, but is anyone collecting them somewhere? Obvs. not an easy phrase to search. [more inside]
Political Humorizing Thread
I saw this cartoon today and needed a place for it. Laughing at politicians, as opposed to laughing with them, is a much needed function of democracy; I mean, really we can't all hang out at the bank, all the time. Any way,
Pat Bagley does it again!
2 Hyuck 2 Hyucking
So our first experimental Hyucking Hyuck thread worked out pretty well, and then a month went by and it closed. So: here we are with round two! This is a dedicated space for riffing and jokes, designed in particular to take some strain of the overcrowded US politics catch-all threads. [more inside]
Hyucking Hyuck
It's experiment time! We're going to try to have a parallel thread to the Fucking Fuck series, where people can post their politics jokes, one-liners, favorite Twitter snark, etc. [more inside]
Featuring MeFi's own MetaFilter
The American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress has announced the creation of the library's Web Cultures Web Archive Collection. Archived sites of note run the gamut from Urban Dictionary to ¡Cuánto cabrón! to creepypasta to MeFi's own Metafilter. [h/t]
Jokes, as far as the eye can see…
Please help me find a fantastic thread full of mefites' best jokes!
That is unfortunately all I have to go on. I don't particularly remember the timeframe, and I assume the question was something like "Tell me your best joke," but my search is not turning up anything useful. [more inside]
FPP titles that made you smile or laugh
One of the more splendid attributes of the MetaFilter community is the regular ability of MeFites to write titles of posts that are offbeat, witty, hilarious or smart. A few recent ones I've enjoyed include this and this. While Y(humor)MMV, what post titles have you particularly enjoyed?
I originally thought this was a site about Meat.
I don't care about your misreadings. [more inside]
GSOH post - satire?
Claim your keyboard here folks.
Ok, what Mefite owes you a keyboard or monitor because they wrote something that was so damn funny you lost bodily control for a moment? Extra credit for graphic descriptions of the mess :)
Doesn't Do President Well
Metafilter's own Avery Edison on our (hypothetical) thread with Obama: Thread is immediately deleted for being too similar to a recent post (“The Wire and the White House: Grantland asks ‘Is Obama All In The Game’?”) [more inside]
throw apologetic in there
Comedian Myq Kaplan has joined metafilter to comment about our comments on his latest project! [more inside]
Caddyshack is not in the top 25.
My FPP this morning supported legitimate outrage against a clearly terrible list of movies. This deletion is totally unwarranted and should be reversed.
Thanks
Thanks for deleting my irritable response to a question about how to succeed at writing. I guess it punched a button of mine.
I can't believe I'm actually asking this.
I'm looking for a video I'm pretty sure I saw linked in a comment either on the blue or the green. It was a humorous music video about the singer's dislike for vanilla sex and their preference for loving of the anal variety. [more inside]
It's not you babe. It's NAV.
Since this post about Bob Dylan lending his voice to a GPS box was deleted (for a good reason, let's face it), I'm putting this up for all the jokes we're missing about it. [more inside]
Does favoriting a post count as a binding contract?
Hermitosis, you got some 'splainin' to do! [more inside]
Top or bottom?
This post has had me giggling like an idiot every time I see it in my recent activity feed. [more inside]
Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to MetaTalk callouts
Why is talking like Yoda "funny" in this post?
So a murderer walks into a bar...
The filesystem jokes in this Reiser trial thread struck me as being in particularly bad taste. [more inside]
Not funny.
This post on breast ironing has turned into a nightmare of inappropriate comments, jokes, and general trolling. [more inside]
Why was my reply to post 78716 removed?
Why was my reply to post 78716 removed? All I did was complete the quotation used by the original poster. It was from the Young Ones TV program. I really am not a fan of censorship, and AksMefi is not where I expect to encounter it. [more inside]
Farts = not funny; Nuns = hilarious!
Feature Request: MetaSnark
Crawl over the grass at a moderate pace, beating your forehead against the ground at one-second intervals. The place where your head rests when you lose consciousness may be the approximate location of your septic tank. Or it may not.
OMG CHEATING!
This is why jokey answers are bad in AskMe.
Ads
Because only "Dude, that's f*cked up" will do.
What if sometimes wisecracks do help people find answers?
It's a joke frchristssakes.
Y'know...I can handle bad April Fool's jokes from tech companies (or others). Yeah, they aren't great, but megacorporations aren't really known for their great sense of humour.
What I hate is that people feel this is there opportunity to bitch, whine and complain about someone else's attempt at humour, how much they hate AFD, how it should have been funnier, or how they would have done it better.
It's a joke frchristssakes. Laugh. Or don't. Just don't whine.
Ironically Non-Descriptive
A thread in which someone who browses AskMe via RSS, annoyed by people's tendency to post inadequately descriptive "Headline/Title"s, but aware that this has been discussed before, illustrates his displeasure by composing alternative questions to fit some recent titles, in an attempt to encourage others to submit titles that better describe their questions.
Unhelpful link text in Wired editorial
"Humorous" titles give no clue on content by rss
I find the MetaFilter font page unreadable. And I mean that in the best possible way. I joined MetaFilter so I could participate in its well-above-average discussions that kept turning up in my Google searches. But now that I'm here, I can't find posts I'm interested in on the front page.
I use an RSS reader, and often the jokey headlines give no clue of the post's content. This is just a bad idea. And I understand that links are encouraged, but the visual distraction of link-overloaded posts, compounded with the 15 minutes minimum it would take me to digest them all, leads me to move on before I'm even sure what the post was about. If I only want to click on few, how do I know which of the ten are the best? And where are they going?
Maybe this is just my problem. I'm not dedicated enough to enjoy M.F. But I think it would be better to have a style guide that encourages clarity.

I also like email forwards
Her banshee howling has me very confused, and yet wanting to laugh at the same time. I dare NOT. This whole time I have held laughter alternated with concern.
The funniest post I've read today. Deleted. Is it really a famous story I've never heard before, or is that an extremely itchy trigger finger on the deletion button?

Even if the question is answered, AskMe is not for jokes.
I'm about to post about a bug. This little AskMe bug. The question was already answered, nailed immediately by lekvar, so the conversation was drifting pleasantly, and lekvar says:
How can you think they're ugly? They have cute little accordion butts!
posted by lekvar at 7:27 PM PST on June 14
So I reply: "The accordions are necessary for the polka dots."
Now my little pun is deleted. There follow three extremely complimentary references to my pun, none of which is on topic, none of which is deleted. So now it looks like theperfectcrime made the pun. Now I don't mind deletions; I've had my share. But this is eerily selective, isn't it, jessamyn? Almost the perfect crime.

Why are some goofy threads deleted, and not others?
Just out of curiosity, how is it that some posts get deleted because the thread is full of the same animated gifs we always see, and some posts continue to live way past their prime? Is it the presence of ceiling cat?
I understand some of these are left in for humor value; such was the case with the infamous Mushroom post. But when the only thing that's different is the original post, and there are no actual responses anyhow, what's the criteria?

I'd like to apologise to the Australlian Nation.

Why is an answer in AskMe deleted when it contains an informative comment, followed by some humor?

This seems a tad unfair, since lots of comments are not deleted which contain exactly the same mix of a comment, followed by humor.
I'd link to my answer, but I don't know where it is.....Here's the question.
How do I know who's deleted my comment? Appeals? How does one gain such Godlike powers?
Also: is there a place to find deleted comments on AskMe so at least I can save my late night ramblings

Should including long humorous tags in AskMe posts be frowned upon?

Tasteless Humor
Is humor verboten in the Green?
This certianly isn't a question that impacts the stability or sanity of my life, but: Is humor verboten in the Green? Over on this question, as people got worked up in one direction or another over the topic, I posted a humorous comment placing the question on the Bridge of Death from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
I notice this morning that it was deleted. Are we so high-strung here that people can't take a joke?

Can we get more of this?
This is why I love Metafilter. Can we get more of this?
Thanks for the laughs
Ass buttons. And lick spots. Thank you for making me laugh, and teaching me something new.
Answering a question with a joke, then the "well, seriously.."
The "Hollywood Squares Thing": Answering a question with a joke, then the "well, seriously.." bit. Is this bad? In defense, you are providing some "signal"...
Great FUNNY DVD recommendations
You made me laugh. Thanks.
Collectively smarter than all of you put together
It would appear that Metafilter is collectively smarter than Scott McNealy, Mitch Kapor, and a lot of other people ... and quicker than Snopes (as least in this case). Collectively is the operative word, of course, but I thought this was worth a chuckle.
hope him, admins
filmgeek seems to want to do the right thing here, but he needs admin hope to do it.
the wry wit of fellow MeFites
I come for the FPPs, but I stay for the comments. Articles and whatnot are dandy, but nothing compares to the wry wit of fellow MeFites. What are some of the gems you've come across that have shone so brightly you couldn't help but archive (or even bookmark) something so poignant that a fellow MeFite has shared?
.... with/by Ask Metafilter
I note from the sidebar that a number of people have been inspired by Ask Metafilter. Did you know that even more people have been killed by Ask MetaFilter? Or that, for every two people inspired, there has been one person who has had sex with Ask MetaFilter?
