Since much of the humor is a product of the 1980s, the collections will include "context pages" to help explain the cultural and political references to anyone born after the Reagan administration.
The upcoming treasury collections of the legendary comic strip Bloom County will probably runneth over this trope.On April 26, 2012, a spider about to be swatted said it was okay as long as Garfield didn't sit on it, and then explained he said it because Garfield was fat.Let us explain the irony in that title: it's a compilation of strips, each one commented by the creator. Dilbert creator Scott Adams once released a compilation called It's Not Funny If I have to Explain It.Of course, all the debate over it ended up boosting Larson's circulation.
Gary Larson ended up having to explain it. The Far Side had its infamous Cow Tools cartoon, which absolutely zero people got.In volume 3 of Scott Pilgrim, Todd utterly fails at making a threat, and then makes it worse by trying to explain it:.The punchline of the "Short Circuits" of the first issue of Mega Man (Archie Comics) is a Mythology Gag which is promptly explained in a footnote.Given the stuff he thinks he doesn't need to explain, it's surprising that Alan Moore does this in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier story "What Ho, Gods of the Abyss!" The idea that Gussie Fink-Nottle can continue operating without a brain is fairly obviously a comment on the Wooster set being "brainless" to start with it doesn't need to be followed by Mina and Allan explaining it to each other.He harshly tells Harley that she needs to learn to "take shots from folks who just don't get the joke".
#UNITY ANGRY BOTS WONT BUILD SERIES#
Faithfully done in the Batman: The Animated Series episode based on the one-shot comic.
The Batman Adventures: In Mad Love, where Harley Quinn tries to explain the deathtrap she built for Batman and how it is humorous (thus meeting Joker's standards for Batman having a hilarious death), but it backfires - partly due to this trope and partly because of Joker's conviction that he is the only one allowed to defeat Batman. During the roast of Bob Saget, Norm Macdonald did this with lame and predictable jokes, turning his roast into a Post Modern mockery of roasts themselves. A common "gag" is one character blurting out a non sequitur and another character shouting "THAT DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE!" For more information, see Boke and Tsukkomi Routine. Japanese humor can have a lot of this. Subverted by Craig Shoemaker who will find a young person in the audience and explain the older jokes (like his Barney Fife impression) to them, making age jokes at their expense. Also helps to SPEAK VERY LOUDLY, in case they don't understand English in a normal (i.e., amplified through microphone) tone. Examples include Steven Wright (who already has a notably slow delivery), Ron White, Jimmy Carr, and Daniel Tosh (his trademark involves explaining a particularly complicated or obtuse joke). Many stand-up comics use this as part of their act, especially to single out a heckler to explain the joke very slowly to them. Nerina: You'd appreciate this: number two's quite cute, isn't he? In Dragon Ball, when the Ginyu Force meets the unlikely alliance of Gohan, Krillin, and Vegeta, Ginyu decides that he and his men will "play" with the heroes (and Vegeta). Justified because these are, in-universe, seen as exceptionally obscure and only funny to manga enthusiasts. In Bakuman。this sometimes happens with the more obscure manga references, such as one in which Nobuhiro makes a reference to the little brother of Sally the Witch. Black☆Star of Soul Eater sometimes overexplains the meaning of his jokes.which is necessary, because they're pretty incomprehensible. Pokémon's dub is absolutely rife with bad puns, and sometimes lampshades this: "Looks like I'm all in one.PEACE! Haha, see, it's funny, because I'm making a 'peace' sign!". At the end of this segment, Hyatt chimes in, noting that it's already a musical (with Hyatt's enigmatic personality, it may be variant 4 or 5, though). They conduct this argument while singing the melodies of the series' music. 
In the beginning of the 26th episode of Excel Saga, Excel has an argument with director Nabeshin about making a musical episode (musicals, after all, take a lot of effort to produce). It gets to the point that the caption itself is its own Running Gag. Every single time this occurs, there's a little caption box that says something like "Miu has a habit of throwing anyone standing behind her". Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple has a Running Gag that if anyone comes up behind Miu, she'll throw them.
