   You can call it whatever you want.  I call it unfunny.  Along with all   
   the other so-called comedies consisting of stupid people saying doing   
   stupid things for a half hour.  Not funny.  Not comedy.  But you can   
   call it whatever you like if it makes you feel better for wasting your   
   time with it.
