It's funny because it's true.

No! It's funny cause it's sad...

[parsimonia.livejournal.com]

Well, that too, I suppose.

[supreme-empress.livejournal.com]

Well. You used a Will & Grace reference so it has to be true!

[parsimonia.livejournal.com]

I did?! lol. I was under the impression "it's funny cuz it's true" originated from the Simpsons.

[supreme-empress.livejournal.com]

Wow. You might be right. I googled the dates of the two episodes and I turns out the Simpsons one aired before the W&G one. I feel so cheated.

THOUGH! "It's funny cause it's sad" and "It's funny cause it'll never happen" is pure W&G

Ah, there we are. So perhaps we can say that "it's funny 'cause it's _____" is a sit-com phrase meme? Or something. *wanders off in the direction of TVtropes.org*

I checked it out and it seems as if there is no such thing... Maybe were the only to people to remember these very obscure lines?

[parsimonia.livejournal.com]

Surely not.

[supreme-empress.livejournal.com]

God I hope not...

I'm friending if that's cool?
