3 minTim argues that no book has ever actually made him laugh out loud, citing Catch-22 and Confederacy of Dunces as overrated, and admits comedy has ruined his ability to find things funny. This drifts into discussing Anthony Bourdain's shows, which he never found funny either.
- 6:01Tim's stance: no book is funny, period—not a single one.
- 6:21Even Jack Handy's book, which Tim found hilarious, proves it's impossible to make a funny book.
- 6:33Catch-22, supposedly hilarious by consensus, is unfucking readable and boring to Tim.
- 6:48Confederacy of Dunces is as funny as a book will ever get, but that's not saying much.
- 6:59Bourdain's shows were always called hilarious by everyone, but Tim never found them that way.
