Yeah but I imagine you see everything in a very clinical way and humour/character/delivery/
aren't taken into account. If it's technically amusing it would probably win you over. Basically I'm calling you a soulless robot. With aids.

Comedy is a lot more technical than you'd think.
One of the oldest jokes ever recorded still works today.

Man walks into a barbers and the barber says "how would you like your hair cut" the man says "in silence"

It's all about give expectation A, provide answer B

I understand the technical nature of comedy however it is not the most important part.
For example bad jokes told by an excellent comedian will get more laughs than good jokes told by a robot. It's about SOUL Chompy, it's all about soul.

I appreciate you know him and we don't
hence my saying he SOUNDS like a dick, based entirely on that anecdote. You could point out to him that whilst his prejudice is absolutely hilarious when said to a woman, if he'd said the same thing to a bloke he'd still be in hospital now. Which makes it even sadder
