    I just find it funny. But I should have rembered that a sense of humour is frowned upon here.

    The wife first married a bloke called Gary.

    If he's out there, We need to compare our subsequent experience.

    Why is humour frowned upon here? Loads of people cracking jokes, funny quotes and innuendos all the time

    Where’s the humour in the advert DT? Have you posted the wrong video by any chance?

    It’s barely mirth.

    it’s a million miles short of ‘funny’.

    Id have to ask, how much ‘comedy’ do you watch a week?

    I'd argue it even falls short of mirth. Here's where I'd put it in the Tyketical Masterstoke Merriment Scale:

    Depressing
    Moribund
    Morose
    Nondescript
    <-----------------------------------------Dragon Tyke's turtle video here.
    Mirth-making
    Amusing
    Comical
    Funny
    Hysterical
    Uproarious
