I don’t have much time, I have to haul corpses. I don’t have much time, I have to breath, eat, drink, sleep. I don’t have much time, I have to keep the gears meshing. I don’t have much time, I’m busy living. I don’t have much time, I’m busy dying.

under a hundred pages into 2666 and up until now its just been: literary conferences, a pervasive sense of doom, academics acting unwise on account of a looming potential threeway, unsettling dreams, stories within stories ur not quite sure what to take away from but who stay with u nonetheless and also benno von archimboldi

“So everything lets us down, including curiosity and honesty and what we love best. Yes, said the voice, but cheer up, it's fun in the end.”

Roberto Bolaño “2666”

hello bavitz from bavitz, i am new here but 1 Over X was excellent. people have asked you about the Best Media you have experienced and the Worst Media you have experienced, but what are some of the funniest media you have experienced? entirely different question from quality. what’s the stuff in the world that has made you laugh the hardest. can be whatever, books movies games websites youtube videos etc etc literally anything

I would not on the whole consider 2666 a very funny novel, in fact it might be the opposite, but it does have the funniest joke I have ever laughed at in a novel, in which a group of European literary critics, increasingly frustrated over some interpersonal entanglements, vent their anger by ganging up on and beating up a Middle Eastern (I think Pakistani) cab driver in London. Afterward, one of them shouts: "That's for Salman Rushdie!"

Catch-22 is probably the funniest novel I've ever read.

As far as movies go, the ones I remember laughing a lot at are ones I last saw when I was a teenager. I thought Tropic Thunder was really funny when I saw it in theaters. Superbad too; the quintessential "I went to a Southern California high school in the late 00s" movie.

That's as far as pure comedies are concerned. I do consider Uncut Gems to be the funniest movie Adam Sandler has ever starred in.

In terms of anime, the funniest comedy is Prison School. Elfen Lied, though, will always be the funniest anime of all time, just not for any of the right reasons. It's incredible that Elfen Lied still manages to cling to a scrap of a positive reputation (even if it's significantly diminished now compared to the 00s, when it was considered "deep" and "significant" -- seriously, go read the MAL reviews from 2009), when it is as blisteringly and obviously incompetent as Tommy Wiseau's The Room. The Gustav Klimt OP is a masterwork in that regard. When I watched Elfen Lied for the first time, there were multiple moments that literally knocked me out of my chair and caused me to roll on the floor in hysterics.
