According to a neurophysiologist at the University of California, San Francisco, sarcasm is an evolutionary skill, and if you don’t find the humor in it, that means you’re a fucking retard.
Dr. Katherine Rankin says that people who don’t pick up on sarcasm have damage to their parahippocampal gyrus which is located in the right brain. This suggests that sarcasm is part of human nature, which I guess makes people who don’t “get it” inhuman. Because the way we handle social interactions are crucial to fucking, and fucking is crucial to furthering the human race, it would seem, according to this study, that those who don’t know how to act, or how to take a fucking joke, will have less of a chance to get laid, and therefore, less of a chance to procreate. But what about those of us who totally get sarcasm, but also totally get abortions when we get pregnant?

that’s funny, because when I was in SF nobody seemed to appreciate my sarcastic attitude. I got a lot of shocked stares every time I opened my mouth.

Is that the chick Kenny started winching at the end of a video with Gavin a few months back? How does a man who looks like a hoodless Jawa manage to winch anything, let alone a 10 like that?

It might have something to do with the fact that he’s a successful comedy writer, actor and producer, but maybe I’m wrong.

Sarcasm is what you use when you’re too lazy to come up with your own original jokes. Sarcasm is a cop-out.

“It might have something to do with the fact that he’s a successful comedy writer, actor and producer, but maybe I’m wrong.”
You’re probably right, although why this should even matter when he resembles a hoodless Jawa is the real question.

has Kenny Hotz come down with rabies?

Fuck abortions, they’re humorless twatzis.

Jigga what? Is that Nick Denton that I spy? Interesting. I guess there would be some overlap.

Wow! This blog was totally worth my time! Rats off to fearless UCSF researchers for finding the sarcasm part of the brain! The evolutionary psychology bit about sarcasm being an important part of social interaction didn’t seem tacked on at all! Big parahippocampal gurus, big sense of humor! Of course! There’s a reason why it’s such an exclusive school that even most UC students don’t know about.
Next thing you’ll tell me is that size DOES matter, according to the immutable methods of science, b/c chicks get a thrill from mere sight of those big dongers. That would explain why dongs are so much bigger on average today than those in classical paintings/sculptures. Har Har, I’ m likely to say. Science schmience, indeed.

Damnit. I’m late at pointing out Kenny.
