Funny

I'm not sure what else to do with this at this point. 1234 ~ 22:11, 5 January 2012

I'll take it. --Sir Oliphaunte (განხილვა)   04:53, January 7, 2012 (UTC)

II've almost finished, be done hopefully by tonight. This is just to let you know I haven't forgotten about this. --Sir Oliphaunte (განხილვა)   15:38, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

You're as bad as I am. <3 1234 ~ 19:39, 10 January 2012

No, I'm worse. Very sorry, I haven't been reliable lately. --Sir Oliphaunte (განხილვა)   22:50, January 10, 2012 (UTC)

Humour:	8	First off, sorry about this being so late. I like where you are going with the article as a whole. I've been spending most of my time re-reading it and re-reading it, trying to find something to critique, but so far, everything looks good. Jokes are well placed and your style of humour and sarcasm is showing itself like a peacock of full plumage...Yea, anyways, aside from some minor issues that are highlighted in the the rest of the review, good job. I did have some issues to point out though. One is within prose, but I left that within its respective section. Two is the "Your mom" statement in the tree section. I was a little confused about its purpose or reason for being there, seems a little random don't you think? Anyways, I would consider ejecting that line from the article, but it's your call. Now, let's see if I can try and help provide you with some ideas to expand your article. Make another short section like the "Stupid People" one, but about Germans. You could have a line like, "Germans are funny because they are not funny and seeing them trying their hardest to be funny makes them seem miserable, thus making Germans funny. This sort of thinking is what lead the Germans to give up with medieval puppetry and just flat-out invade Poland for a good international laugh. Sadly enough, this made the Poles look miserable, which made them look funny and the Germans look like asses, hence WWII." You could also add a picture here with Germans and a funny caption with it. It's in my head, but I'm not sure what it says, I'm sure you'll take care of it well enough. Have a section about Timing after the section about Situation. Talk about how funny is only funny when it is appropriate timing for someone, and/or inappropriate timing for someone, such as when one walks in one someone in the bathroom. I feel like you could use a good amount of misdirects within this section and you could definitely manipulate the line "humour is all about timing." I think, I dunno, maybe....Moving on! A section about Behavior. You could talk about how people who act strangely in public, like mimes and bums, are funny because they are strange and are doing things in public that we normal people reserve for our showers and/or closet time. Or, you could talk about how people who laugh constantly are the prime example of those who easily find funny, but do not actually have a grasp of what is funny, making them look like an air-head, which is funny for us non-airheads. Perhaps a section about how Evolution has changed our interpretations of funny, mainly because many of us have continued to evolve while other stay behind, like people on reality shows, thus those who have evolved faster can make fun of those who are slower evolved because we think we are better and thus, we find it funny. I don't know why I keep using 'we' as a reference, my ego must have inflated again recently. Quotes! But in the sense that you include quotes that can be purposely mis-interpreted or manipulated in your favor. Such as this one by E.B. White, "Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but the thing dies in the process and the innards are discouraging to any but the pure scientific mind." You could then talk about this quote saying how it is a prime example of why 6th grade science dissecting classes are fun for us, but not the frog; not because the frog is having his innards picked out, but because E.B. White said that was the case, thus E.B. White hates frogs, thus it is ok to kill frogs because E.B. White approves of it, thus dead frogs are funny. You follow me? I've lost myself unfortunately... I don't think you really need a formal ending. Maybe some sort of quick finish or something. I've seen your articles, so I know you don't need my help finishing the article. That's a compliment by the way, I think. Also, I think you should change this line, "deeply religious people," to "deeply spiritual people." It's close to the end of the first paragraph. Just seems more appropriate the latter way.
Concept:	8.5	It's a good concept, emotions are common but surprisingly hard to do. Nevertheless, you rise to the occasion in writing in your trademark satirical style that everyone seems to love, or at least be familiar with. Not much else to say here, considering I never really know what to say here in the first place....Well, let's move on, shall we?
Prose and formatting:	8.5	No spelling errors, at least none that caught my eye. This always makes me smile when reviewing, just in case you were interested in some minor imagery of what I look like while reviewing. I doubt you are. Anyways, your format is good and prose is good as well, except for one major point I wish to make. Although your unique writing style is great for this type of satire and by that I mean your drawn out sentences that place the joke as in front of the persons' face as it can be, I do think that you might want to consdier looking at some sentences and re-writing them a bit to help with the overall flow of the article. This line for example, " not unlike the way a man may from time to time find himself around a dog." Drawn out and unnecessary in that sense to the section. Something simple like, "similar to how a dog appreciates the company of a dog," or something like that. Overall, that seems to be the main issue with prose. Since I'm not sure which sentences you intentionally made long, as I feel you did that with many, I'll leave you to decide if and how to solve this issue. However, if you wish me to help in this case, just let me know and I will be on it right away, or at least as soon as I can. That's about for here, let's keep going.
Images:	8	Some very good images so far and very good captions to go with them. I especially like the snatch from wikipedia with that first image. Some minor points I wanted to bring up though; For one, you might want to consider using a different emo picture, one that shows a real-life emo looking depressed as this will emphasize your point about misery and funny etc. I do think that your current image is cute though, so I'll let you decide what you want to do here. The second issue I wanted to bring up was your dead tree caption, "The funniest thing about this tree is that it is dead. That's not much." It's a little flat and I think it could be better. Maybe try something like, "The only thing funnier than a dead tree, is a dead tree landing a bear, thus mkaing both tree and bear dead and thus doubling the amount of funny in the picture." That was rather complicated and drawn out, but I think you get the idea. I think I gave you some image ideas in the humour section? Hopefully, drawing blanks here, but aren't you a photo-chopper supreme? I don't think you'll need much help in this department then.
Miscellaneous:	9	9 makes me think of cats because cats have 9 lives....Meow.
Final Score:	42	And for the final time, sorry for being so late with this and not making it nearly as worthy in length for the time provided. Hopefully, I helped you out in some way, or at least led you under the impression that I was helping you. If you need me, I'll be watching the night time stars, wondering how many of them are already dead and how many have formed and have yet to be seen by us...Feel free to message me if you want to know more about my daily doings, chores and thoughts, or if you have a question about the review; that's probably more relevant right now. Anyways, cheers.
