By rights I shouldn’t find him funny. Really, everyone who knows my sense of humor knows I like the most vulgar nasty cringe-inducing humor. The more offensive, the funnier. The more someone makes me cringe, the more they make me laugh.
With that in mind, it often comes as a huge surprise that I laugh my ass off at the work of Kevin Nalty, aka Nalts, on Youtube.
Here’s a sampling; one of his most notable videos, Farting in Public.
For all intents and purposes, I shouldn’t really find that funny because it doesn’t necessarily fit in with my tastes (although fart humor is pretty close) but I can’t stop watching. I could go into a long explanation and post about how humor works, and so on, but I think the takeaway is this: when something is funny or entertaining, it just is. It doesn’t have to fit into your sense of humor or your perspective on jokes, but guys like Nalts can churn out video after video that always, at minimum, makes me smile despite being of a different humor mindset.
It just goes to show that the great ones really do transcend boundaries.
