I notice that the "you don't get it" defense tends to sprout up when people are trying to defend something trite as being a work of high art. They can never actually tell you what you're not getting, and they demand that you spend 20-30 hours of your life watching/reading it before you may dare comment on it.

Yup. Life's too short to spend 6 months finding out how Shakespearian a juvenile comic strip is.

I've got better things to do with my time.

Is contrived "humour" funny if it does not make you laugh ... ?
