FYI: Things That Are Not Funny
From the Department of Get a Clue

Attention. The following things are not funny.

1. Monkeys, Chimps, Whatever.
Dress them up, give them bananas, make them screech, it does not matter, no matter what you do with a chimp/monkey/whatever, you will not succeed in making them funny, you'll just give me that creepy uneasy feeling.

2. Talking Babies
Again, not funny.

3. Farting/Burping
Embarrassed laugh acceptable. "Wow, that was hilarious" laugh, not okay.

4. This Joke My Mom Got On Her Popsicle Stick Today
Q: How did the soldier get his tank to fit inside his house?
A: It was a fish tank.

Q: How lame was that joke?
A: REALLY REALLY LAME.

Those commercials where the guy works in an office with all the monkeys in suits, and he comes into the board room and they set a whoopee cushion on his chair, and he sits on it and they all freak out laughing... that's hilarious. Also a combination of numbers 1 and 3.

That's actually the commercial that prompted the whole post. Men who are half-monkey, half-human? Not funny. Creepomatic.

The one where the people look like monkeys inside the coffee shop, I agree, is scary and weird and makes me not want to buy whatever it is that they're selling.
