If the bathhouse/holiday or rugby episode in Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu doesn't make you laugh you need a check-up.

I agree with you there. Never has been. Though I found Goldenboy pretty funny.. and a little tidbits here and there with other anime.

Subjectivity! I call subjectivity and everyone's knowledge-of-place.

Some American humor is funny to me. Some isn't. Anime, to me, tends to be a bit funnier in certain circumstances; not so in others. Broad generalizations don't work. Neither does humor neccesarily work the same across individual people and across cultures.

Of course American humor is supposed to be funny to you if you're American.

The jokes must have been way over my head to, cause I didn't spot a single one.
