Too Funny

I recently read a humorous criticism of a television show and observed that, of 38 commentators, 8 of them included the words "too funny" as in, "that is too funny." There were also a few "hilariously funny" remarks and a few "too hilarious" thumbs up. What the fuck does these mean?

Is it being too literal to make a criticism of things being too much? Is it too much to ask someone to understand what it is that they are saying, or typing as it were, before they immortalize too much idiocy?

We're leaving these comments behind people. We're stupefying the coming generations.

Something literally (not "quite literally" either--things cannot be "quite literal" they are either literal or figurative...) cannot be "too funny" unless said something has killed you, in which case I'll cave and say, "alright, maybe it was too funny."

The problem is, it hasn't killed you.
P.S.  And yes, for the record, the grammatical error is intentional. It was a question on the same page of commentary. "What the fuck does these mean?" Literally, too much for me.

  1. This post was too funny! (ha)
    I enjoy listening to you talk/write about things that piss you off because you don't go about it in a mean way, but you definitely get the point across. Also I enjoy the conciseness of your blogs! You re able to say a lot without actually saying a lot.
