I've learned that humor is a very particular and personal thing, and I feel oddly guilty for ranking someone's idea of what's funny (more than I ever felt guilty for ranking someone's idea of what's a good song).

But one of the submissions had to come in last, and so here it is.

Doctor Zeus sent in this Harry Potter voiceover/parody, and it completely missed me. I get that this is somebody trying to be funny, but I didn't enjoy this one at all.

In 12th place:

I actually liked this video and I'd watch more videos by this presenter. Unfortunately I'm not sure if this is even intended to be funny at all. It's a little bit cheeky, and it's entertaining, but it's not funny.

Pwnsall submitted this review of Popeye's (the restaurant, not the sailor) shrimp.

In 11th place.

Another voiceover, and it's definitely going for the funny. It's mildly annoying but mostly harmless. However, this video loses a lot of points for featuring a cat. Cats suck. Dogs rule.

EB submitted Cat vs Printer.

In 10th place.

Here's another somewhat entertaining video, but it's really more of an educational piece and it's informative, and not really comedy. But there are jokes, and silliness, and they're intentionally silly/joke-y. This video is more interesting/informative than it is funny.

This is The History of Japan submitted by Egix Ninetysix.

In 9th place.

This is clearly meant to be funny. And it is funny. It's not really my kind of funny, though. It's one single joke and it goes on for too long.

Eric submitted The Colorectal Surgeron Song.

In 8th place.

A tv news host doesn't like the Steve Irwin-type and his animals on his set. Hijinks ensue. I feel like I've seen the same bit done by Johnny Carson, and to greater laughter.

Still, watching other people lose their $hit is legitimately funny.

In 7th place.

Craig Ferguson got some legit laughs out of me from this clip, which is a collection of interviews from his talk-show. I particularly enjoyed the interview with Alona Tal, when Craig suggests that she should not pretend her A$$ off.

I'm not going to spoil this one. It takes an unexpectedly dark turn.

D1 submitted this clip. "Prank Show."

In 5th place.

Ricky Gervais just slays it as David Brent in the original 'The Office'. I said I don't like cringe-y humour, and lord knows this is cringe-y. But, damn, it's funny.

That last clip reminded me of this clip. If you haven't seen this before, it's pretty awesome.

In 4th place.

Are you kidding me? How have I never seen this?

David Cross and Bob Odenkirk together on the screen. How can this not be amazing?

Spoiler:

A Missread Issue submitted Mr. Show.

In 3rd place:

I love 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. Which means I was guaranteed to enjoy this clip, even if it's from a show I'd never heard of.

I've come to learn that there's dozens of clips from 'Taskmaster' on YouTube. Good choice by Gadarene submitting one that features Jon Richardson and Joe Wilkinson.

In 2nd place:

Talk about awkward and cringy humor. This is making me re-think what I think is funny. But you know what's always funny? Someone with a funny laugh losing their $hit, even if it's at someone else's expense.

Filthy submitted this gem.

Actually filthy submitted a video version which doesn't allow embedding, so I've taken the liberty of sharing a longer version of the same clip.

In 1st place!!!

Bloobird submitted this clip which features Kevin Bridges, who I am nearly positive has absolutely no idea of just how funny he is. Plus that Scottish brogue makes everything he says 3x funnier than it already is.

Bonus points to David Mitchell, whose humor is drier than the Sahara Desert.

Definitely. I don't know why, but I never really found that horse one to be particularly funny. If I were to pick a clip from that show, it would almost certainly be a Bob Mortimer one.

Reviewbrah is legit. He sometimes tries to be funny, but what you are seeing is just his real personality.

If it's a bit, he's been holding steady with it since he's was a kid

This is him, video posted 10 years ago

For those who are fans of the British panel comedians, Sean Lock died just a few days after I opened up this thread. This bit is gold.

oh nice ship it!

taskmaster also great, probably the funniest tv show of the last ten years at least, but I feel it really gains from watching the whole season, whereas WILTY is easier to clip an individual bit

bolt, if you've not watched any taskmaster before, absolutely watch the first episode of season one, it starts super strong and you'll work out quickly if you're into the vibe of it or not - I came very close to submitting the watermelon task from that to this because of just how perfect the different approaches the five comedians take are, and how completely insane romesh is
