Context

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

Jump to: navigation, search

Context is what makes chat logs and comment wars unfunny. The more context provided to a dramatic situation, the more unfunny that situation becomes. We don't need no stinkin context!

An Example

  • badlydrawnjeff: Hey, Quasidan, would you like me to get you a hot dog?
  • Quasidan: Hey, thanks bdj, I'd love nothing more than a big, thick weiner.
  • badlydrawnjeff: Okay then! Would you like any mustard or ketchup?
  • Quasidan: Hell no. Just a big, thick, naked weiner for me!

...later...

  • badlydrawnjeff: Look what Quasidan said: "I'd love nothing more than a big, thick weiner. Just a big, thick, naked weiner for me!"
  • GirlVinyl: LOL!

A Far Funnier Example

Image:CONTEXT.jpg There's no need for context. when you add context you subtract lulz. that's like trolling dead people. its not cool.


Context is part of a series on Language & Communication.
