Kyle:Are you watching that sitcom again?

It's so stupid.

There's nothing witty or original about the humor.

Paulina:I don't need highbrow jokes.

I enjoy all kinds of comedy.

Kyle:You mean you like screwball and slapstick humor.

Paulina:Yes, so?

Kyle:So? It's so juvenile.

Paulina:I know that it's hard for people like you who like satire to appreciate the more wacky kinds of humor,

but you might try getting off your high horse once in a while.

Kyle:I'm not snooty.

I'm just discriminating.

I like comedians with a dry sense of humor like that self-deprecating guy on that show I watch.

Paulina:That show is a snoozefest. That guy bores me to death.

Kyle:And this show does it for you?

Paulina:You bet.

Kyle:There's no accounting for taste!
