Ng Bbs Effective Humor Class 2

[TacticalShoe]

After the interesting experience that was my first class, I've decided to go to class number 2. This class will be on sarcasm.

Sarcasm is something that most people on the BBS do not understand and will never understand. These people will continue to ruin threads with their serious reactions to sarcastic remarks. More intelligent BBS users will understand sarcasm and continue to be funny.

And that's it.

Trying to explain sarcasm to the people of the BBS would be like trying to teach third graders quantum physics, so I won't even try. To those who recognize and understand sarcasm, thank you and keep using it. To those who don't understand sarcasm, keep trying and one day you may reach that pedestal.

Tactical Show is like that young white woman from a rich family who has to teach a bunch of inner-city kids how to read and write and overcome their racial differences.

Just like that movie thats been remade 3000 times.

Well, that's the thing. If I recall what Kevin Smith said in an interview, he stated that the best way to make movies is to make the movie for the stupidest person in the audience. Meaning, to make a movie so that even an idiot can enjoy it. And he is right. When you keep your posts simple, you get less misunderstandings by n00bs/b00ns and thus, less flame wars erupt over nothing.

Let me give you a personal example. On one of my older boards, we were discussing...disasters, I believe, and if we would be prepared for them. This was during the time of Katrina...maybe. I can't be sure. Anywho, the following is an excerpt from one of my posts in that topic:

"...Florida, Texas, and California have Hurricanes, Tornadoes, and Earthquakes, respectively."

Immediately following, some hot shot member showed up and posted the following:

"Florida doesn't have Tornadoes or Earthquakes, dumbass."

In response, board members who understood me got on said member's case, and started calling him an idiot.

I may have gotten off track here, but this is my point: When you type something out on a message board, sometimes it pays if you reach out to the biggest n00b out there. It's gotten to the point where you can't say anything sarcastic without adding a " </sarcasm> " tag at the end of your post, otherwise the dumbest posters will really believe you, which can lead to further misunderstandings and flaming.
