Posted by We’re being insulted on Cricinfo again. Qasim has branded our latest piece “a staggeringly unfunny article”.
You’ve got to love an article that’s so lacking in humour that not only are readers unmoved by it, they are actually blown away by the unfunniness.
We meant to ask that this piece be published anonymously, but forgot. We’re glad we didn’t now.
Update: We wanted our name left off because it was supposed to be written by a character, not by us. Those aren’t our opinions. It really isn’t clear, is it?
I meant to comment anonymously but was lazy (to sign out of facebook).
I am glad, I didn’t now.
Well they do say that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit King Cricket even if it clearly demonstrates a higher form of intelligence than some of the people who post comments on Cricinfo.
For what it’s worth the aforementioned article made us laught out loud in the office, which is not to be recommended!
We all got the sarcasm part.. hence the comment “staggeringly UNFUNNY”
or even laugh! Back to spelling school again…
‘Laught’ means to laugh and snort simultaneously.
That made me laught
I quit the article somewhere in the middle of the 2nd paragraph. But I never would have guessed that its roots were to the guys on this blog had you not mentioned it
May be I will give it another try. On second thoughts may be the guy with the “staggeringly unfunny” comment has a point
We’re a victim of formatting!
*Booo Booooo*
That’s me booing you – not off stage KC (as Abhishek Banerjee suggests), but like at a pantomime baddy who you secretly want to succeed in their fiendish plot, often because they are the best actor in it, get accompanied by flashes/smoke machine whenever they appear and have all the best lines.
Is that too snivellingly grovelling oh King?
Best compliment we’ve had since “staggeringly unfunny”.
Is that a Futurama headline? I hope so. Please say it is, please.
We can confirm that is indeed a Futurama headline.
I would just ask Laurence Elderbrook to have a chat with the Qasims and Abhisheks.
Has Elderbrook ever had an actual “chat” with anyone before? Or does it mostly consist of calling for more gin until his conversational partner is sufficiently confused?
Some of us did not know you had a character (or rather the character was you) until you had mentioned it.
