Yeah, y’all need to watch the video before you downvote. It’s satire and speaking to exactly why you are downvoting it. Love me some Dunks!

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 12 points 2 weeks ago

I think putting something like (Dunky) in the title would probably have helped

[–] SatyrSack@feddit.org 8 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

It's also just not funny. I get that it's trying to be, but in my opinion, it doesn't land.

[–] async_amuro@lemm.ee 36 points 2 weeks ago

"Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man."

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 2 weeks ago

Actually it is funny, I know this to be objectively true as I am the sole judge of comedy.

You're nitpicking and biased. I win. Bye bye.

It's got a little something for everyone

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

This is the first Dunkey-type comment chain on Lemmy

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

His videos have been pretty weak for a while. Happy that he's been branching out into publishing games though.

Maybe... Hear me out here...

Maybe people just don't like it and don't think it's particularly funny?

[–] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 18 points 2 weeks ago

Humor is subjective, but just in case it's good to clarify it's a joke.

With current international politics it's hard to know the difference

[–] SatyrSack@feddit.org 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

From what I understand of the Lemmy userbase, this type of humor generally just does not play here as much as it would at somewhere like Reddit.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

The people who enjoyed the joke just upvote and move on. But yes, we do have a lot of folks who do not embrace obliquity.
