So Played Out

Me too...right after you just said that.

Providing joy and pleasure to no one, editorial cartoons simply exist in a perpetual dead zone, taking up space, possibly filling a couple of seconds as you skip between articles (if you still read newspapers, that is).

Have character freak out over an inconsequential matter in an excessively cute way...

example...

Female Character 1: Calm down!

Female Character 2: How can I calm down? Why are you telling me to calm down? Calming down is a theoretical impossibility. In fact, you might say I'm freaking out. I'm doing the opposite of calming down! See! See! Look at me! Look at me! Not calm! Not Calm!
We are out of artificial sweetners! Do you understand? Can you possibly understand how important that is?

Female Character 1: I never realized.

Female Character 2: Yeah, uh huh.

Old Woman: "Don't be a beyotch!"

Cue laugh track

Kids: "Oh Grandma!"

Old Woman (lighting a joint): "Later, skaters...I gotta drop a deuce."

Cue loud cheers from audience

Ok...I really feel that underneath the surface you're a Caspar Milquetoast type (i.e. "a timid, unassertive, spineless person") who gets uncomfortable when someone expresses a strong opinion. I really feel that you're using bullshit, ironic water-cooler humor to mask the fact that you're a souless pussy
