Movies

It was a joke. The humor is in the fact it was a non sequitur.

And, as my father always said, "nothing makes a joke funnier than having to explain it."

Variety: KUNG FU PANDA 3 opened to 16 million more in China than it did in the US this weekend. notfabio Jan 31, 12:50

Pretty soon us Americanos will no longer be the target audience of our own movies. Thanks, Obama! {nm} DTshakes Jan 31, 13:10

What's Obama got to do with what foreign audiences watch? {nm} JDolphin Jan 31, 13:38

I believe that was what people call a "Joke"(at least I hope) {nm} pygmydev Jan 31, 13:40

That is old an not funny. Like calling someone four-eyes or retard or shorty. {nm} JDolphin Jan 31, 13:44

You have to consider the source. {nm} one_cent_girl Jan 31, 13:59

It's not that old (Obama has not even been in the whole 8 years yet) and funny is subjective. No need to clutch pearls. {nm} Willroast Jan 31, 14:47

Played out, maybe. "Here's a joke everyone's heard a thousand times already. It's still funny!" {nm} RogerMore Jan 31, 19:51

Oh well. Different strokes. I voted for him twice and still find the saying humorous when it comes out of nowhere. Willroast Jan 31, 20:43

It may not be funny to you, but it's actually nothing like the offensive, childish name calling you used as examples. DTshakes Jan 31, 17:21

Childish name calling - Exactly my point. Wasn't funny the 1st time. Still isn't funny {nm} JDolphin Jan 31, 21:01

What did I say that was nasty? I didn't call you names. Just replied that I didn't care for the over used not funny so-called joke {nm} JDolphin Jan 31, 21:04

Spotted the person with no sense of humor. {nm} TheEradicator Jan 31, 23:21

If it's bad now think how much worse it's going to get if Clinton wins! Free movies if Bernie pulls it off!! {nm} loveman3 Jan 31, 13:47

we already aren't {nm} slipping jimmy Jan 31, 18:02

China's population is over 1.355 billion, USA 320 million, bound to happen at some point... Not saying it is good, but normal {nm} jeankie Jan 31, 13:46

Alex jones said American middle class is dying. We will be living fema camp. {nm} mike255 Jan 31, 13:48

It can get worse Donald trump put tariff in China. China have to pay tariff USA movies mike255 Jan 31, 13:52
