This is hilarious.

This reminds me of high school when we were reading Waiting for Godot, and our teacher (who loved it) was trying to show us a certain scene in. She kept rewinding and fast forwarding until she gave up in exasperation. It was impossible to find a certain scene in a play with a drab set background! I guess the feeling of futility she felt was appropriate for what Beckett was going for.

Hilarious. It both promotes and makes fun of modern art.

Lisa Douglas’ New York apartment in the “Green Acres” credits had a Mondrian (or a knock-off).

This “art” looks like something I did in the 7th grade.
And I was terrible in art class, barely making a passing grade.

If you think that's embarrassing, it turns out that Bach's Canon 1 à 2 from his Musical Offering has been played backwards for centuries!

Modern art is garbage.

This is art...

Do a Jackson Pollock pillow, and I’ll be impressed.

As Rush Limbaugh said

“If I can do it, it’s not art”

So that painting was hung upside down. This goes to show you just how dumb modern art is.
I never had any trouble deciding the orientation the traditional art I own.

I listened to that and heard something interesting. A faint voice kept saying, "Paul ist tote, Paul ist tote".

As I was told a long time ago, “Art is for the artists!”
It’s how they cover for the crap.
