They try too hard to be funny and end up being more lame than funny...fitting into the stereotypical gamer role.That's just my opinion based on the gamers that I've met. I can enjoy a funny/goofy game as much as the next guy, but it needs to actually be funny, not lame & embarassing. And naming characters Fluffy McBubblebutt & adventuring in an air-balloon shaped like a giant cupcake is not funny to me. Fighting with a dead fish & a garbage can lid instead of a shortsword and shield is not funny. Those are lame attempts at humor and something an 8 year old would find "funny". But roleplaying the ugly dwarf that flirts with any & all females can be funny (if you are witty enough to say funny things in your attempts at romance). Maybe the groups NPC guide rubbed the Wizard PC the wrong way so the PC constantly harasses the groups NPC guide by casting Ventriloquism on the guide each time he's talking to other important NPC's (again, it's only funny if you are witty enough to say funny things). Or maybe the Wizard sneaks body parts in the NPC's backpack so he reaks when he enters town. The PC Fighter could be the type that always brags about his sparing skills and challenges NPC's at every tavern no matter how weak or strong the NPC is. If the player is a funny guy, he can make this an amusing scenario each time.I don't really find gamers in general very funny. When meeting random gamers online in hopes they could join my group, half of them always come off as the "Fluffy McBubblebutt" type of players. The stories they tell me about their games send red flags and I know right away that they aren't the type of funny players I want in my game. I understand a lot of people like to play with that type of humor, so I'm not critisizing that style at all...I just don't think of it as being funny myself.</blockquote>
