To be fair this has become the funniest Dissensus thread I remember. Reminds me of the time I went well angry mental about stand up comedians being far less naturally funny than most people I interacted with. Danny Dyer thread, if I recall?

droid feels left out of the laughs and is bitter about it which im sorry for but i dont see what im supposed to do about it. cliques are in no way ideal but hes charmless, poisonous, has no social graces, no sense of humour and no sense of proportion so how to include him?
