Things that should be buried with the last decade

[Christina]

I would like to retire the following lazy jokes:

Anything fake sequel followed by "Electric Boogaloo."

The thing where people go, "I know that he knows we know, but does he know that I know that he knows we know?"

Shitty nerd references where the guy pushes up glasses and goes "I EQUIP MY +7 DAGGER OF BLAH BLAH BLAH." I'm lookin' at you, Big Bang Theory and/or every improv group in human history!

Ninjas/pirates/zombies/vikings etc.

Anything that's ever been on a Threadless shirt.

I vote for all of these too.

I've been trying to popularize "The New Batch" as funny fake sequel name, with no success. Maybe "Port of Call: New Orleans" will catch on?

Ed Hardy, and Ed McMahon.

Anything that's ever been on a Threadless shirt.

I own a Threadless shirt that is just a bunch of line drawings of old boomboxes and radios and such. It's nerdy, but at least it is an honest apparel-based appraisal of what a dork I am for/about music. That said, I've started to wear button-ups more often, because I am A Professional.

I'm really sick of unfunny but raunchy statements being passed off as jokes.  I don't like it when men or women do it, but I especially hate female comedians doing Sarah Silverman knock-off acts.  I think women can be just as funny or funnier as men, that goes without saying, or should.  But just because you are under 40 and reasonably good-looking does not mean that talking about your "twat" or whatever is a moment of hilarity.

OK, Gallagher.

Actually, I agree with you.

And Gallagher.

I am a lot like Gallagher, aren't I?  I've definitely got the beginnings of a Skullet going.

I don't actually mind the raunch, as long as it's funny -- Zach G. sometimes goes there, and Sarah Silverman can actually be funny when she makes the effort to think up jokes.  I just hate it when it's lazy.  Also, there was someone like that at the Adult Education thing I just did and on top of being unfunny she was kind of an incredible jerk, so like all of my taste preferences, it's partially grudge-based.

Hey! I've been using "The New Batch" for a while myself. Once "The Legend of Curly's Gold" got played out, it was time to move on.

More like Gallagher 2: Electric Boogaloo

"The New Batch" is alright, but c'mon - I think people are clever enough to customize their hilarious sequel names. Do we really have to rely on pre-written, plug-and-play jokes? Tom came up with Casino 2: Back at the Table on the spot, you can too.

Dare to rise above, FOTs.

I hear more and more people saying "awesomesauce!". Actually, I don't know what decade this started but it should be buried just in case. It's like the "cool beans" for the '00s.

'The new hotness'

'The best ____ EVAR'

General Internet inspired ironic stupidity. Now millions can't stop themselves from doing it. It's like the funny voice you do that turns into your all-the-time voice.

I hope we see a lot more movie Squeakquels, I will say that.

[Reeleyes]

Jeff Dunham and all of his racist puppets.
Contrarianism
America waging war on concepts
TMZ
watching "reality" TV ironical

[fonpr]

all  puppets.

America waging war on concepts

 "reality"

Agreed!

[JustSheaNo]

Please retire the following:

"____ is a hot mess."

Never got (or used) this one although I do refer to gross food as hot garbage, does that count?
