    "X is funnier than Y" is actually NOT a compliment because he wrapped it up in a bunch of other words, got it

      Yes that's how language works. "X is funnier than Y and that means it's the end of the world" is not a compliment. "Wow that person is prettier than a pile of dogshit" is not a compliment either.

        Those aren't even the same lol

        The premise of "X is funnier than Y" is implied to be true. Besides, the freaks at BB want the end times, anyway.

          "The Babylon Bee is funnier than Stephen Colbert and that's a sign of the end-times" is not a compliment unless you're being purposefully obtuse. You have to lop off half the sentence to interpret him as saying he enjoys the BB because it's funny.

          I'm not insulting your thread and saying you need to delete it. You don't have to defend the point so hard. The success or correctness of your posts don't determine your self-worth. It's just not a proper dunk.

            Lmao

            He could've just said "Colbert isn't funny" but yeah I guess this is cool too.
