A collection of pretentious things from the web and elsewhere that are much less funny than they think they are.
This teaser was played before movies in some American cinemas a few weeks ago. People did come down the aisles to collect donations.
This one kind of upsets me. I think at the time it was derided by most intelligent people as a joke that was dreadfully out of date and overdone. It certainly is, but it hurts me a bit to see someone I find generally likeable to do something lame like this. It makes you doubt the humour of any of his other stunts, which are similar, only better timed and better presented. I think Michael Moore can still be funny and incisive with political stunts (YouTube link), but this one falls flat so dramatically that it makes you doubt that he was funny in the first place.
This is the worst type of bad joke, the one that makes you feel guilty for laughing in the past.
Using Beethoven’s 5th like that is also very cheesy, btw.
