Is it funny? Does it suck? Did I waste my time posting it?
« on: June 17, 2008, 02:23:20 AM »
Came across this reading the Daily News today...couldn't help but get a chuckle out of it.

Also, probably despite my better judgment, I decide why not post it here and see what everybody thinks of it.

Monday's Chuckle Bros. strip, with a not-so-subtle reference to a classic show...

I didn't think that was funny at all.  The set-up was too obvious.  If it was a bit more subtle, I can understand, but "sigh", no good.

I got a good laugh out of it, but to be honest I think they could have skipped the logo and it would have been slightly more subtle.

Just sayin', that's all!

I chuckled. Unfortunately, Lemon's right.

Yes, he is.

I think if you left the other sign in, you might still be able to get the joke across...but it would require a little too much thought on most people's parts.
