I love these!
Comedy Network (Canada's equivalent of Comedy Central) is advertising this show... It's only available online, and each episode is only about 1 minute, but they are really funny!
YouTube - The Owl And The Man : Part 1

Did three in hopes of the funny, but it did not show.  Points for the silly idea, though.

I would say they are quirkily funny. Although, after watching a couple episodes I found myself laughing *at* them more so than laughing *with* them. It's a pretty stupid concept but funny in a bizarre sorta way. . . . Or, maybe that's just me.

One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

Why is there always money for war, but none for education?

"It doesn't really come up...unless there's a census."
That part made me smile.

Woah there. Let's not get too excited.

Episode 2 (The Prequel):
Excellent dialogue.
"So, I'm like a night owl."
"Me too."
"I mean, I'm like a real owl. When you say it, it's just an expression. When I say it it's because I'm like a real owl . . . a night owl."
Episode 3:
dumb dialogue.
Episode 4: (neutral)
okay dialogue. It took too long to get to the "Godfather" discussion.
Episode 5:
Good dialogue.
"Most owls can write. I just can't write cause I'm dyslexic."
"Oh, oh . . . that's rough."
Episode 6:
Good dialogue.
"Yeah, I think I'd feel naked without my kidney."
"Yeah, but you wouldn't feel anything . . . because you'd be dead."

OK, I'm some kind of freak. (At least that's what my big bro says.) But I find these very amusing. My little bro is at Temple now- the Temple Owls. I sent him the link. Let's see if he is weird like me or normal like our dumbass big bro.
Yay besson3c! Fun stuff!

Adding a "just kidding" does not make any less offensive.

No more than asserting very strongly that something that I like sucks.

besson3c, making a personal insult from the fact that you miss someone else's humor is not funny either. Really. There are a number of ways to express that - if such expression is actually necessary. Be nice.

I honestly meant no degree of seriousness in my comment, it was supposed to be a funny desperate helpless retaliation, but I apologize to Macosnerd nonetheless.

It doesn't 100% click.
The schtick is funny, and the performer is funny, but they don't make a particularly good match.
The performer's strong suit is energy. He's kind of a spaz.
I think the schtick needs to be more low-energy deadpan.

That wouldn't work at all. The whole point is that the owl is doing nothing owl-like.

That wasn't a very mature response.
