I actually loved the cringeworthy nerdyness. I see him as a good parody of bad gamers (and, for the record, I was playing D&D back at the beginning, so I know bad gamers when I see them.)
It's actually kinda fun to watch him get whats coming to him. If nothing for the relief that I don't have to listen to him anymore.

First Ward encapsulates what's wrong with the state of the game - visually it's stunning and at first look you just want to go "wow!" - but the stories take a couple of days to run through at best and leave me feeling "meh, was that it?"

I could say I find 'slapstick' unfunny as a general thing just because I didn't care for the Three Stooges. I'd be close minded to dismiss slapstick as a form of comedy worth my time, however. Because there is generally funny slapstick that exist that I'd most likely fall on the floor laughing at.
That you didn't find MM's parody funny is your own opinion...you didn't like him and I did...who cares? But you go ahead and dismiss other parodies too? What about the character I described? How'd you know he wouldn't be funny or at least engaging if you never even seen an exchange from him?
I'd have called you 'stuck up' but *that* would have been rude. Telling someone is close minded is about as insulting as expressing to them they're ignorant. If you tell someone they're ignorant, that ignorant person may clue in and enlighten themselves on whatever it is they were talking about. If someone tells you you're being close minded, you open your eyes a bit and take a some perspective of the world around you because it can be a big place.
I'm not insulting you, Sam, because if you know how I post, I'd have kept going. But I speak from 2nd hand experience because one of my best friends is a comedian and he actually *studies* the stuff. It's a lot more complex than you'd think.

By the way, what does he do if you're male? I know he hits on females, but what's the text like when he talks to a guy?
