Queer People Are Funny: Difference between revisions

There is a tendency for works, particularly older works and works aimed at young men, to treat homosexual relationships as being ''inherently'' funny. Obviously, gay people and gay relationships can be funny for lots of reasons -- forreasons—for example, if the characters are incredibly mismatched, or if the behaviour of one character is amusingly offputtingoff-putting, so this doesn't just apply to any humour derived from gayness or from gay relationships, only when the punchline is ''that'' it is gay. Litmus test -- iftest—if this was heterosexual, would it be (roughly, if not quite) as funny? If not, it's this trope.

* ''[[The Producers]]'' -- a—a musical comedy -- hascomedy—has a song entitled "keep it gay". See for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=[[Cdbyca 9 Xj D 8]]

* In ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]'', at one route, you can end up falling in love with Sunohara which is [[Played for Laughs]].

* [[Little Kuriboh]] does this frequently in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series]]'' and ''[[Naruto: theThe Abridged Comedy Fandub Spoof Series Show]]''. While some of them are obviously a [[Take That]] toward the [[Ho Yay]] [[Fan Dumb]] (see the page quote for [[Het Is Ew]] for an example), he often invents homosexual qualities or uses [[Character Exaggeration]] for the sake of comedy. A thing of note, though, is that Little Kuriboh is openly bisexual.

** Lampshaded in ''[[Naruto: theThe Abridged Comedy Fandub Spoof Series Show]]'' with Iruka's ''[[One Piece]]'' Abridged series:

'''Finn''': [[That Came Out Wrong|Wait, that's not what I meant]]. I mean 'hot hot', not 'sexy hot'. <br />
