- WiretapStudios, on 09/05/2008, -0/+14That is the Simpsons cell. It's shaped like a donut. Mmm....donuts..
- dalnet22, on 09/05/2008, -0/+12I don't find this article too funny.
- inactive, on 09/05/2008, -0/+9The show's been playing for 21 years. Reruns play about 10 times a day on different channels. Even reruns get prime time.
It's funny. - VitriolAndAngst, on 09/05/2008, -0/+9I'm sure they will find that there is a brain cell for Sarcasm, and that 27% of the population is missing this, are the ones who don't get that Stephen Colbert is making fun of them.
Humor cell deficient people like the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, because they really have to pound in a joke to get their hee-haws going.
While people with no humor cells, like to talk Long Marches on the Beach, and watch sunsets with huge flaming explosions. - Styvo, on 09/05/2008, -0/+8Jumped the shark? Its a ***** goofy cartoon, loosen your tie.
- cougar3429, on 09/05/2008, -0/+6'Comedy Brain Cell' That Responds To Humour Found Missing In Ex Girlfriend...
- inactive, on 09/05/2008, -0/+5Quality of entertainment is defined by public appreciation.
Therefore, Facts of Life was also funny. - VitriolAndAngst, on 09/05/2008, -0/+3The "LOL-Cell" is found.
Get ready for the LOL-Cats website, to get an addition of gooey gray matter in cute poses. - ChayesFSS, on 09/05/2008, -0/+4said cell is missing from the entire Middle East
- Nore, on 09/05/2008, -0/+3Thought this was an Onion article, I don't know why.
- xGeneric, on 09/05/2008, -1/+4Why so serious?
- bluezombie, on 09/05/2008, -0/+3Okay ...
step 1) Exhume George Carlin
step 2) Extract his comedy cell
step 3) Begin the mandatory clone and graft operations - dougbot, on 07/14/2009, -0/+3i hope they tried old-Simpsons, the new stuff would not have given satisfactory results.
- maxtrix, on 09/05/2008, -0/+3But can scientists figure out how to place the missing cells back into Dane Cook?
- DeskFlyer, on 09/05/2008, -1/+3LOL
- jstohler, on 09/05/2008, -1/+2You just went full retard.
- FolkTheory, on 09/05/2008, -0/+1from now on they'll screen all new comedies by using this cells. it doesnt matter if you say you found it funny [or not]. you can lie, your brain can't.
- jstohler, on 09/05/2008, -1/+2John McCain hates the hippocampus.
- inactive, on 09/05/2008, -0/+1* annoyed grunt *
- inactive, on 09/05/2008, -0/+1FTA: "The brain cells were found only to engage during episodes from seasons 3 - 8. After Ian Maxitone Graham got involved, it just wasn't the same, the scientists said."
- HerRedRing, on 09/05/2008, -0/+1"It is highly speculative to conclude that it is a "comedy cell", and even if it were it is just one cell in this study of many cells." - Prof Fried
- drmobutu, on 09/05/2008, -0/+1This totally explains the popularity of "Family Guy"...
- inactive, on 09/05/2008, -0/+1The hippocampus is part of the Limbic System of the brain. Also known as the "emotional brain". It is resposnsible for emotions like laughter, anger, fear, sexual feelings, pleasure, etc.... SO, it's not rocket science that certain neurons react more strongly when the said emotion is stronger. Basically, you can lie to your girlfriend that her BJs are great, but your brain tells the truth!
- CaptainHampt0n, on 09/05/2008, -0/+1well i'm pretty sure Ebert and Roeper both lack this cell
- inactive, on 09/06/2008, -0/+1 You made my dough nut cell fire. Thanks dude.
- Spoomeister, on 09/05/2008, -0/+1Only one brain cell engaged? I *knew* the quality of the Simpsons had gone down in the last few years.
- tnvwboy, on 09/05/2008, -0/+1So that one person who never laughs at funny things, give them a break, they're just brain damaged or retarded.
- leerayIG88, on 09/05/2008, -0/+1I see why zombies like eating brains. They hunger for food.
- Egress99, on 09/05/2008, -0/+1Have they found the cell for proper punctuation?
- inactive, on 09/05/2008, -0/+0The best test is satire, like "Jocelyn's Corner" and The Onion
- inactive, on 09/05/2008, -2/+2Hippocampus cells in these species show replay of past sequences but until now this could not be linked to recall of memories as obviously these species cannot tell us what they experience.
- imasuperDOTcom, on 09/05/2008, -3/+1My hippocampus is bigger than your hippocampus.
- MynmeisGEorge, on 09/05/2008, -1/+0WhaaT!
- thePTS, on 09/05/2008, -3/+0I could've said something about this being the part of the brain McCain used when he picked Palin, but in stead I have no choice but to bury for quasiscience (sorry) ;P
- Fracture98, on 09/05/2008, -5/+1And the Facts of Life ran for 9. Duration clearly has nothing to do with quality. It could also just show that stupidity is enduring.
- seiga, on 09/05/2008, -6/+0It's sad. The Simpsons comedy cache has been reduced to stimulating a single cell.
Family Guy must be hitting a dozen at least. - TwiceHephaestus, on 09/05/2008, -7/+0You saw brain cells firing on patients watching a show that jumped the shark a decade ago, and you think that's a 'comedy brain cell'?
- Fracture98, on 09/05/2008, -11/+3I always figured the people that found "The Simpsons" funny were only using one brain cell.
