Get the black comedy mug.Related Words
A type of comedy where they make many random and vague references to many other shows/books/movie/etc. So that when a passing reference by one character is recognized by you, it makes you feel cool knowing you are one of a very few people who caught that very obscure reference. The reason its called nerd comdy is becuase only smart (or nerdy people) will be able to catch enough references to find the show funny, while a stupid person would wonder why this is funny becuase he/she does not recognize any of the referneces.

Get the nerd comedy mug.Comedy or anything relevant to comedy that has lost its comedic value or never had any to begin with is termed as dead comedy.
Overusing a joke or milking a concept to the extent of it becoming oversaturated can lead to dead comedy. Dead comedy can also occur if something of comedic purposes is initially forced, basically a real bad joke.
Once something has been categorised as dead comedy there is no going back, it's permanent. If you're uncertain whether something is dead comedy or not, chances are that it isn't. If so, it's in a state of limbo, it needs a push in either direction for its fate to be sealed.
Synonyms: Random unfunny
