Quite.
ftr, I know what you mean but now you're just making yourself sound like an arrogant arse. "I prefer more highbrow humour". You might want to read back that post to yourself and see how it sounds.
spann - putting aside for the moment having to be told that women find being able to stimulate their sexual organs an attractive trait in men - you probably did just explain the underlying joke to me. I admit I thought it was just an excuse for a lot of fingering-related puns...
Yatzhee... please review...

You needed this topic to tell you that? 
Nah I'm not getting at people for finding this funny. Different people like different comedy styles. I prefer the more highbrow humour associated with things like Have I Got News For You, though I do find a lot of more lowbrow things funny. I just think this was maybe a bit too obvious and childish for my liking

I could not get the text to go the right colour to show up properly. Damn trousers.

I'm really not doing myself any favours of late, am I?
I don't mean to sound uppity when I say I like highbrow humour. I mean I like humour that makes you think, jokes layered upon jokes

That picture of Hugh Laurie marked the end of the thread for me.

Pop quiz, hotshot. Garry Kasparov is coming to kill you, and the only way to change his mind is for you to beat him at chess. What do you do, what do you do?

This place has turned into CAD forums minus the widespread/unwarranted deletion of post. I hope all this fandom wont go to Yahtzee's head.
"I felt insulted until I realized that the people trying to mock me were the same intellectual titans who claimed that people would be thrown out of skyscrapers and feudalism would be re-institutionalized if service cartels don't keep getting political favors and regulations are cut down to only a few thousand pages worth, that being able to take a walk in the park is worth driving your nation's economy into the ground, that sexual orientation is a choice that can be changed at a whim, that problems caused by having institutions can be solved by introducing more institutions or strengthening the existing ones that are causing the problems, and many more profound pearls of wisdom. I no longer feel insulted because I now feel grateful for being alive and witnessing such deep conclusions from my fellows."

That would be a nice, ironic twist.
Also, Hugh Laurie = sexy.

I see what you did there.
I trusted that you would.
ftr, don't stop trying to defend yourself.
Just do it better.

Yeah, I mean since when did HIGNFY use "jokes layered upon jokes"? How many times have we seen the audience piss themselves laughing at one of Merton's stupid nonsensical tangents?

Granted HIGNFY was a bad choice to illustrate this, but it also doesn't go down the typical crude joke line.
Much.
Much.
You really aren't helping your case here. Some of HIGNFY's best moments are incredibly crude. Do you not remember what happened to Deayton?

That controller should definitely have a pressure sensitive screen between the two sets of green buttons.
To account for the instability and the shaking, extra pressure sensors should be centred around a cylindrical point about 4 cm in, facing the lower degree portion. Further, then, it could be extended to synchronized time frames merely by tracking the relative motion of each piece, which would tell you the time error for the assumption that each part would remain in the same relative position to it's neighbours.
