If you've been watching any TV at all lately, you may have noticed that there have been many award shows that have taken place recently. Grammys, Golden Globes, Academy Awards- alright, those are the only ones I know of.
But anyways, I'm not going to be addressing the horrendous awarding that took place at either of the events. What I want to talk about is the lack of humour at award shows. ALL award shows. It doesn't matter if it's American, British, Indian, Pakistani, oh God, even if it's Malaysian- why is it that people at award shows never laugh?
You can partly blame the hosts. I mean half of these people's jokes are really hard to understand- the double entendre just doesn't work very often. But then you also have comedians act as hosts on award shows- why does that not work either? Why is the audience so goddamn stubborn? Did all their favourite uncles simultaneously die the day before the show? People will say genuinely funny things and all you will hear from the seats will be a light chuckle. Not even a pity laugh.
Still, I must praise music award shows for being a little less sober. Those film people are dried bread in comparison. God forbid they should laugh. I suppose they worry that their lip colour might peel off, or their hair might unravel, or their bow-tie might loosen, and come on now, they might have to go up on stage and receive an award! They can't possibly look such a mess. Better to sit with a tight smile and look like something's up their asses (I'm sorry, this just really upsets me as is obvious).
What cracks me up is when someone actually wins an award for Best Comedy. How on earth do these people know what comedy even is?

You didn't lol either. =[
dude, my mom was watching some Lux Style Awards or something the other day, so I watched a bit with her. The poor Pakistanis tried to be funny, but it was so sad I almost wanted to cry.
Pakistani award shows + humour = big NO. It's way better if they don't try to be funny.
Actually, that brings me to another point- why are they even TRYING to be funny in the first place anyways?
