Not even slightly amusing, Walker; in fact, it was just irritating.
Ah, irritating. The Harbal forte. Join us in the performance and conceptual elucidation of fun, funny, and irritating, Harbal.
Although the Harbal Style of funny is
snark rather than the whacky demonstration by the comedian who is under the stereotypical turned-up British nose, at the point where Harbal wandered in the subject was self-deprecation, and the comedian’s Newton-bit was an example of self-deprecation.
- In that vein, funny isn’t necessarily an example of fun … so in this instance Harbal is twice removed from the relevance of that particular dialogue-offshoot. That’s okay. Harbal blesses us with the excellence of Harbally-shaped snark offerings, and Harbal inspires us to go forth and do likewise.

Self-deprecation:
“tending or serving to disparage or undervalue oneself.”
Fun, but funny-killing relevance of the definition: Pointing at one’s personal gluttony, like the comedian did with his funny Newton catcher, fits the parameters of self-deprecation. On the other hand ...
Snark focuses on
Other-Deprecation, that is, the put-down.
When inspired by Harbal Snark, Walker can feel that movement which funnily, sometimes correlates with physiological, after-coffee movements. For example, Walker figures the underlining will assist in temporarily assuaging Harbal’s oft' professed comprehension deficiency.
The Newton-catcher comedian specializes in
Self-Deprecation, but of course that can’t be his whole act. Like a one-trick snark pony, that could become tedious (hint).
The Newton-catcher comedian does occasionally professes with a sartorical academic style not unlike my go-to accentuation of both snark, and
fun.
Are you feeling the fun?
