She is saying the minions are coke addicts and thus their interest in Bananas is driven by a need to recover from constant cocaine binges.
Then she's interrupted while saying they look like penises. There are in fact two jokes, and now you know, you insufferable twit.

Some people would disagree. Others would agree. But the joke is there. There's a difference between no joke and an unfunny joke. Saying you don't see a very obvious joke is actually more insulting to yourself than the joke itself.

nyangiraffe (07/12/2015) [-] Calling an observation a joke doesn't make it a joke. Now if there was some sort of observational humor used that would make it a joke, but instead there was just a character making an observation. No step was made to make it a joke and we are left with an observation and a line about a penis.

The joke was relating the mundane (cartoon character) with the absurd or unseemly (cocaine usage) and even more so in making what some could call an accurate observation tying the innocent concept with a very adult concept.
More over, the second joke is a piece of "lowbrow" humor, where comparing the mundane with the obscene is intended to illicit a response.
The humor is most certainly there. Just because it didn't make you laugh doesn't mean the joke lacks comedic presence. Just because I don't like seafood doesn't mean tilapia isn't actually food.

nyangiraffe (07/12/2015) [-] But the actual joke part to the observation is missing, so it takes what could have been observational humor and left it as just an observation. If the observation would have made the last leap to observational humor it could be a very good comic with a nice joke, instead it falls flat. Ideas and jokes need to be finished for the humor to work and sadly they don't get to that point.

Actually much of modern comedy forgoes a traditional punchline in order to seem less desperate or "cheesy" as it were. Instead of ending her observation with "so the minions are likely cocaine addicts and that would be a fun explanation for much of their mischief" she leaves it as an open observation by pointing out a real world explanation for a imaginary concept that also follows the formats previously stated.
Much like calling Shaggy for Scooby-Doo a pothead. It's a simple observation of what some would consider a humorous. In such, it is observational humor.

nyangiraffe (07/12/2015) [-] See that type of comedy has one problem, it doesn't work in text. A lot of the modern comedy that works that way usually is funny because it is heard. When it is read it simply sounds like an observation with no emotion. I could see this being funny if it was audio, but as text it fall horribly flat because it relies on the reader to hopefully read it in their head in just the right way. Like imagine if you read a bunch of Mitch Hedberg jokes before you ever heard him say them. They wouldn't get the same laugh, you might giggle here and there, but not near the same reaction because it lack delivery. Subtle observation jokes like these that lack a good ending point are best left to audio.

I do agree that timing, tone, and even emphasizing pauses are crucial to the delivery of a joke. However, I must insist that a joke, no matter how poorly delivered, is still a joke. While it may not strike as much of a chord due to the poor medium for delivery, the joke is still in the context. Think Jimmy from South Park - he stutters and trips over his words, but he is still recognized as a comedian.

nyangiraffe (07/12/2015) [-] I guess you are right, it's a joke, just delivered poorly in the wrong medium.

And you are absolutely right that a joke in text format cannot be delivered with the same pacing as a vocalized format.
But this has become far too civil, so I'm obligated at this point to call you a ************ fagtard... You ************ fagtard.

Wait **** I think I should clarify that I meant that the joke just exists, not that it is funny. Because it is very much not funny.

nyangiraffe (07/12/2015) [-] You would think that for it to be a joke it would have to be funny. Since it is not funny I will just call this an observation.

The joke was obvious. It was literally all but spelled out.
Either you're an idiot, or you're a pedant.

He probably just got confused because jokes are usually supposed to be funny
